Panoramaweg Südalpen: Etappe 12 vom Gasthof Rogar zum Alpengasthof Riepl
-
Panoramaweg Südkärnten Etappe 12
From Rogar Inn, the route leads to Potocnik Cave (Potocka Zijalka). On the ascent, you are accompanied by the backdrop of the little church of St. Duh and the sweeping view of the Logar Valley. A highlight of the stage is certainly the Potocnik Cave, which served as a dwelling for the Cro-Magnon people in the Ice Age. Skeletons of cave bears, weapons and tools made of stone and fireplaces prove that the cave was inhabited around 30,000 years ago. From the cave, it is a good half an hour's steep climb, which is rewarded with a fabulous panoramic view of the Uschowa. A strenuous stage but certainly one of the most beautiful sections of the Southern Alps Panorama Trail.
Attention: Please do not forget your travel document, as you will also be hiking on the Slovenian side.

instructions
From the Rogar Inn, the trail leads steadily uphill through the forest along the green-white-red circular markings towards Potocnik Cave (Potocka Zijalka). The cave is called Olseva or Obel kamen in Slovenian. During the ascent, you are accompanied by the backdrop of the Sveti duh church and the sweeping view of the Logar valley.
After about an hour, you reach the cave that served as a dwelling for the Cro-Magnon people during the Ice Age. Skeletons of cave bears, weapons and tools made of stone and fireplaces prove that the cave was inhabited around 30,000 years ago.
From the cave, it is a good half an hour's steep climb, which is rewarded with a fabulous panoramic view of the Uschowa. The second summit (Govca 1930 m) on the Slovenian side is easily accessible via a narrow path. The path leads exposed in a south-easterly direction over an unsecured rock step. The path reaches a fork. Keeping to the left, the trail quickly descends over scree fields and mountain pines.
Continue along a forest path and after a short time you will reach the Govseva Planina mountain pasture. The next section takes the hiker through a forest with old conifers. Then continue along a forest path. From here, it takes about one and a half hours to reach the Kumer Inn. From Gasthof Kumer, the forest road continues to the old border crossing. You then reach the extensive Luschaalm on the Carinthian side. In the last section of the trail, you pass the Friedenskirche church and continue along a paved road to Gasthof Riepl.

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 on length, elevation gain, difficulty and current conditions. Always adapt 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 keep the weight of your backpack low. Rain, cold and sun protection always belong in your backpack, as well as a first aid kit and cell phone (Euro emergency 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.
