From the Bierbaumer inn, head north towards Pustriz. Following the ÖAV trail no. 338, turn right into a hollow path shortly before Pustritz.
You soon reach a small settlement on hollow paths and narrow climbs. After a short stretch on a mountain road, the stage leads through a forest and past two farmsteads to the Tormannkogel.
Now follow the ÖAV hiking trail no. 338 towards the romantic scattered settlement of Tschrietes. From Tschrietes there is a magnificent view of the Karawanken. Follow hiking trail no. 338 to Gasthof Petutschnig, one of the oldest inns in Carinthia. The hike continues over the Kostmannkogel and the blast furnaces to the tree line. Below the Speikkogel, the trail heads towards Wolfsberger Hütte. Turn right at the crossroads and continue downhill until you reach the Pöllinger Hütte.

10 recommendations of the PES

As a nature sport, mountain hiking offers great opportunities for health, community and experience. The following recommendations of the alpine associations serve to make mountain hikes as safe and enjoyable as possible.

1. healthy in the mountains

Mountain hiking is an endurance sport. The positive stress stimuli for heart and circulation require health and a realistic self-assessment. Avoid time pressure and choose the pace so that no one in the group gets out of breath.

2. careful planning

Hiking maps, guide books, the Internet and experts provide information about length, elevation gain, difficulty and current conditions. Always tailor tours to the group! Pay special attention to the weather forecast, as rain, wind and cold increase the risk of accidents.

3. complete equipment

Adapt your equipment to your undertaking and make sure your backpack is light. Rain, cold and sun protection always belong in your backpack, as well as a first aid kit and cell phone (Euro emergency call 112). A map or GPS can help you find your way.

4. suitable footwear

Good hiking shoes protect and relieve the foot and improve the surefootedness! Make sure they fit perfectly, have a non-slip treaded sole, are waterproof and lightweight.

5. surefootedness is the key

Falls, as a result of slipping or tripping, are the most common cause of accidents! Note that too much speed or fatigue will greatly affect your surefootedness and concentration. Beware of falling rocks: by walking carefully, you avoid hitting rocks. 6.

6. stay on marked paths

In pathless terrain, the risk of disorientation, falling and falling rocks increases. Avoid shortcuts and return to the last known point once off the trail. Often underestimated and very dangerous: steep old snow fields!

7. regular breaks

Timely rests are for recreation, enjoying the scenery, and socializing. Food and drink are necessary to maintain performance and concentration. Isotonic drinks are ideal thirst quenchers. Granola bars, dried fruit, and cookies satisfy hunger along the way.

8. responsibility for children

Note that variety and playful discovery are paramount for children! In passages with a risk of falling, an adult can only supervise one child. Very exposed tours that require prolonged concentration are not suitable for children.

9 Small groups

Small groups ensure flexibility and allow for mutual help. Inform familiar people of destination, route, and return. Stay together in the group. Beware of lone hikers: even minor incidents can lead to serious emergencies.

10. respect for nature and environment

To protect mountain nature: do not leave litter, avoid noise, stay on trails, do not disturb wild and grazing animals, leave plants untouched and respect protected areas. To get there, use public transportation or carpool.
