Die Einstiegsetappe führt uns 1000 Höhenmeter hinauf in den Kammbereich. Dort wechselt man auf die Südseite der Karawanken auf slowenische Seite. Hier ist die Landschaft viel sanfter: Latschenfelder wechseln sich mit alpinen Rasen und hinauf wachsenden Buchenwald ab. Je nach Motivation kann man im Kammbereich die Gipfel von Hahnkogel sowie Kahlkogel mitnehmen, ehe man die aussichtsreich gelegene Hütte Koča na Golici (Kahlkogelhütte) erreicht.
Achtung: Hunde willkommen, können in der Kahlkogelhütte allerdings nur im Holzschuppen übernachten, nicht in den Zimmern!

Landscape:
From Klagenfurt south on the main road in the direction of Loiblpass to Kirschentheuer. At the 1st traffic circle turn right west to Feistritz. From Feistritz take the main road west until after Maria Elend. Shortly after that turn left towards Rosenbach. In Rosenbach turn left in a sharp right turn (behind a bridge) and park your car immediately afterwards at the large parking lot at Gasthof Matschnig.
You can also get here from Villach via the A11 Karawanken freeway to the exit "St. Jakob im Rosental" (last exit before the Karawanken tunnel). Continue to St. Jakob and in the village turn right towards Rosenbach. Through the village - downhill road - to a sharp left turn just after the train station to the Matschnig Inn. Here turn right to the parking lot described above.
Rosenbach parking lot
From the parking lot in Rosenbach at Gasthof Matschnig via the marked forest road (signpost Rosenbachsattel) further up the Bärengraben towards Rosenbachsattel (leaving the path towards Berta Hut on the right). The forest road is shortened on the marked trail 678A/603A. Passing the Rosenkogelhütte, you finally reach the Rosenbachsattel (1587m). Now continue along the marked path in a northeasterly direction. Here you bypass the Hahnkogel (1753m) and descend first over alpine grass, later through beech forest to the Eckelesattel (1488m). Now in an easterly direction along the trail located exactly on the border between forest and grass, which eventually leads directly to the Kahlkogelhütte (Koča na Golici, 1582m).
Alternative but worthwhile route: If you want to "take" the peaks of Hahnkogel and Kahlkogel, you always stay directly on the ridge and orient yourself by the boundary stones as trail markers. However, you have to accept additional altitude meters (Hm): 150 Hm on the Hahnkogel and 330 Hm on the Kahlkogel (1835m).
