Schiestelscharte - Mallnock (via Klomnock)

Access to starting point:
A) Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving on the Tauern highway, which we leave already on the Villach bypass and continue driving towards the town of Feldkirchen. Further, we drive along Osojsko jezero / Ossiacher See to the already mentioned town. In Feldkirchen we continue left in the direction of the mountain pass Turacher Höhe and we drive past the towns of Himmelberg, Gnesau, Mitterdorf to the town of Wiedweg, where from the left the road from Bad Kleinkirchheim also joins. From the mentioned junction, we continue towards the mountain pass Turacher Höhe, but we follow the mentioned road only a few kilometers, then signs for the alpine pass Schiestelscharte or Passhöhe direct us left onto the toll high-alpine road, which we then follow to the parking lot on the already mentioned pass.
B) From Štajerska or Koroška, we first drive to Dravograd and then over the border crossing Vič into Austria, where we then follow the signs for Celovec / Klagenfurt. Further, we drive on the so-called South motorway, which we leave at Celovec (direction Feldkirchen). Further, we drive on the regional road, by which we arrive in the already mentioned town. In Feldkirchen we continue right in the direction of the mountain pass Turacher Höhe and we drive past the towns of Himmelberg, Gnesau, Mitterdorf to the town of Wiedweg, where from the left the road from Bad Kleinkirchheim also joins. From the mentioned junction, we continue towards the mountain pass Turacher Höhe, but we follow the mentioned road only a few kilometers, then signs for the alpine pass Schiestelscharte or Passhöhe direct us left onto the toll high-alpine road, which we then follow to the parking lot on the already mentioned pass.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the footpath in the direction of the peaks Klomnock and Mallnock and lake Falkertsee. The path already at the very beginning crosses a grazing fence, behind which it starts to ascend transversely on the left side of the mountain. A relatively steep path then leads us across relatively steep slopes, across which safety protections assist us, which, however, are not necessarily needed. After the first steep section, the path transitions to moderately steep grassy slopes, across which we then ascend in a moderate transverse climb. A little further ahead, the path becomes steeper again and with the help of a steel cable brings us to a junction a little below the summit.
Here we continue right and along the gentle summit slope of the mountain in a few minutes we reach the summit of Klomnock.
From the summit we continue towards the west and begin to descend along a fairly steep ridge. The path then brings us to a memorial marker with a cross. Continuing on, the slope becomes gentler, and we continue descending along the ridge to the saddle below the summit of Mallnock. At the saddle, we continue along the fence and across the gentle grassy slope soon reach the summit.

Along the route: Klomnock (2331m)
