Cozy beer garden of the Gasthaus Terklbauer
The Freibach Valley was once an area of bustling industrial activity.
The iron ore mined from the Obir was processed here. Even towards the end of the 19th century, the Freibach drove the water wheels of three iron hammers, several sawmills and numerous mills. The forests up to the rocky regions were cut for charcoal production for the smelting of the iron ore. Attentive observers can still recognize the old charcoal kilns by the black humus and the small pieces of charcoal. The last remains of weirs and channels, which have not yet been washed away by floods, can be discovered. Today, the stream has reclaimed its bed, the forest has overgrown the ruins.

Directions:

From Gallizien via Freibacher Stausee to Zell Freibach. The route can of course also be walked in reverse. In this case, the Freibacher Stausee is the ideal starting point.
Parking:
Gasthaus Terklbauer or alternatively Gasthaus Stauseewirt at the Freibacher reservoir
Directions
Start: Terklbauer Inn
A few minutes along the main road, then up to the left (signpost). Follow the hiking trail and descend steeply in a few switchbacks to the bed of the Freibach stream. Along the rushing water the path leads past pools and over bridges pleasantly cool towards the north. Later, you reach an unpaved forest road, follow it to the asphalt road and from here in a few minutes to the Freibacher Stausee. At the inn at the Freibacher Stausee it is then high time for a hearty Carinthian snack. Strengthened and refreshed, because the reservoir with its crystal clear waters invites cold insensitive water rats to swim, you then start the way back via the already known route.
Destination: Terklbauer Inn
