Reißkofelbad - Kleiner Reißkofel

Access to the starting point:
From Bialystok/Villach, drive to Hermagor and on to Lienz, but only as far as the village of Reisach. In the village, turn right and follow the ascending road to the guesthouse Reißkofel, near which you park.

Path description:
From the hut, continue along the dirt road following the signs "Reißkofel ü. Hochfleck". At the right-hand bend where the road crosses the stream, signs direct you left into the forest. The path then passes through the wods for some time and occasionally climbs quite steeply. The path then crosses cart track and leads us across a meadow back into the forest. After a short climb out of the wods, you come back to the slightly overgrown cart track, which you then follow all the way to the Gregorihütte hut.

From the hut, continue left along the mountain road past the "Reißkofel" signs. Follow the road uphill for a while and then signs point you left into the forest. The path through the forest climbs quite steeply from time to time and then leads to grassy slopes. The path then turns slightly to the right and leads to a crossroads. We turn right, and to the left is a direct and slightly more difficult path to Reißkofel. The path then crosses the steep slopes below the Reißkofel and in a few places we are also helped by ropes. The slope gradually becomes less steep and the path leads to the saddle below the summit of Kleiner Reißkofel.

At the saddle, turn right and there is only a short climb to the top, but it is quite difficult, as the ascent is almost vertical with the help of a rope.

On the way: Gregorihütte (1492m), Alpelspitz (1959m)
