Parkirišče pod planino Jamnig - Greilkopf (via Hagener Hütte)

Access to starting point:
Drive to Spittal an der Drau and take the exit for Lienz. Then follow the regional road past Lendorf, after which after a few kilometers turn right towards Möllbrücke, Mühldorf and Obervellach. Soon after Obervellach turn right towards Mallnitz. In Mallnitz pass the railway station (also motorail to Böckstein through 8370 m long Tauern tunnel) then follow the signs for Jamnigalm and Hagenerhütte (at this crossroads there are about 15 green signs), since the road still turns left in the town. The road soon leads out of the town and reaches a barrier where it is necessary to pay 4 euros toll in the machine (status for 2017, attention: the machine accepts only coins). The road after 20 minutes brings us to the parking lot under the Jamnig pasture.

Route description:
From the parking lot walk a few dozen meters back along the road, turn right over the bridge and follow the serpentine road to the Jamnig pasture, which is 5 to 10 minutes walk.

The forest ends at the pasture. First climb to the junction below Hagener Hütte, to which it is about two good hours walk on a wide path that gently zigzags upwards. On the left are clearly visible mountains Feldseekopf and Vorderer Geißlkopf, on the right rises the slope of Greilkopf. The path after the Jamnig pasture first splits five minutes before Hagener Hütte, where turn right towards Greilkopf.

The trail further is not marked but well visible, the direction logical as it follows the ascending ridge first to the subpeak and then to the summit of Greilkopf, from where there is a beautiful view, especially on the eastern part of Hohe Tauern.

Along the route: Jamnigalm (1750m), Hagener Hütte (2445m)
