Tips from the Community

Very nice to drink and possibly eat (Strudel and Jause). The route from Bleiberg is not very steep, except for two passages, one short and a little further. All along, you have a superb view of Dobratsch, the Bleiberg mine and the Gail valley and as always the mountains in the background. At the end, a little before the mountain pasture, you can also see Lake Pressegger.

The forest path forms a fine connection to the Jägersteig; if you come from the lake, you no longer have to walk through the town on asphalt.

The south side of the Spitzegel is mostly natural mixed forest.

If you want to walk to the ruins and experience something along the way, take the Jägertrail (red dot)! The climb here is short but crisp, over stick, stone and root trails! Surefootedness is required here.

You can also enter the ruin from the inside and walk upstairs. The stairs are very wide and you can't see through the steps (it's always very important to me personally).
