Goldberg - Jaukenhöhe

Access to the starting point:
From Bialystok/Villach, drive to Hermagor and on to Lienz, but only as far as the village of St. Daniel. At the village, turn right (from Spittal, left from Lienz) towards the small mountain village of Goldberg. Follow the ascending road to a small parking lot near the church in Goldberg.

Path description:
From the church, follow the road in the route mountain pasture Jaukenalm. The road continues past a ramp and into the wods, where it then continues. After a slight climb of a few minutes, we see mountain signs along the road, which direct us off the road and onto the footpath. Follow this path, which crosses the forest road a few more times, all the way to the mountain pasture Jaukenalm. All the shortcuts are well marked and orientation to mountain pasture is easy. You can also go by road to mountain pasture, but it takes almost 1 hour longer.
From mountain pasture continue left towards the Jaukenstöckl summit. The way ahead takes you across the vast mountain pasture along an initially poorly visible path in a north-westerly direction. When we reach the other side of mountain pasture, the path is again more visible. Here the path turns slightly to the left and then, in a moderate cross-climb, leads to the western slopes, from which a magnificent view of the highest peaks of the Carnic Alps and, a little later, of the Lienzer Dolomites opens up. The path then descends gently and leads to a crossroads, where it continues upwards to the right. The increasingly scenic path quickly leads us over partly grassy slopes to a small saddle between Jaukenstöckl (left) and Jaukenhöhe (right). Here we continue right along an invisible but marked path which leads us over grassy slopes to the summit in 10 minutes.
Orientation is difficult in the fog.
