From the viewing platform you have a great view of the wide Carinthian region and on to Slovenia. With a bit of luck, you might even catch a glimpse of chamois or one or two eagles gliding through the air.

July 1, 2022,Wanderung zum Dobratsch Gipfel 01.07.2022

So, relaxation was earlier, now it's back on tour. After arriving via the Villacher Alpenstraße, where we stopped again at each parking lot and looked for a cache, we wanted to climb the Dobratsch summit in the late afternoon. The sun was still shining, but now it was also quite windy. Uuuiii, that went uphill... And only uphill... Nothing there, …

A hike on the Dobratsch is simply part of Villach.🤩 We drove up to the Rosstratte and hiked away from there.
Actually, we could have hiked away from the Aichingerhütte if it had only been about 30 minutes to the Rosstratte!
In any case, there were still a few snowfields up there today, with the forest path already mostly snow-free …

A very nice hike of medium difficulty from the Alpe Roßtratte to the Dobratsch summit.
Here is the highest pilgrimage church in Europe, which has defied wind and weather since 1692.
As always, sturdy shoes are recommended here, the ascent is very rocky.

Full moon and clear view, used one of these rare days in winter, put on snowshoes and hiked on our local mountain (Villacher Alpe).
Very nice evening mood 👍

Today we walked up the Dobratsch with the clouds around noon.
Since we haven't experienced anything like this before, the short ones were really excited to be in the clouds ☺️
The paths are very wide but heavily graveled, some with large chunks. Sturdy shoes are always necessary in Austria. ( And indeed we saw people with flip flops🫣😭)

January 6, 2023,Sonnenaufgangstour Dobratsch 🇦🇹

Our alarm clock rang at 4 am today. At 5 we already started our tour on the Dobratsch. Full moon and stars lit our way to the summit. At 6:30 a.m., we were allowed to enjoy the silence and watch the gentle dawn slowly unfolding its light.
Every view of the valley, the church and the mountains on the horizon …

A MUST for any hiker or nature lover. The ascent via the Villach Alpine Road is an experience in itself. From the parking lot, it's a roughly 1.5-hour hike to the Dobratsch summit over gravel with no major difficulties, suitable for the whole family.
We hiked up in perfect summer weather (27°C), so bring your water bottles! Awesome tour, I …
