Karnischer Höhenweg, Mountain hiking trail in Carnic Alps, Austria and Italy
The Carnic High Trail extends for 168 kilometers along the Austrian-Italian border, traversing mountain ridges and alpine meadows through diverse geological formations.
The trail follows former military paths from World War I, where soldiers constructed fortifications, bunkers, and supply routes along the Austrian-Italian frontier.
Nine mountain huts along the path provide traditional Alpine hospitality, connecting hikers to the mountain culture of both Austrian and Italian communities.
The route splits into 11 daily stages, with emergency descent options to valleys and connection points at Plöckenpass Street and Nassfeld for shorter variations.
The geological education trail between Sillian and Nassfeld displays the remarkable rock formations of the Carnic Alps through informative display panels.
