Danielsberg

Danielsberg is a mountain summit near Reißeck in Carinthia that rises to about 966 meters. Several hiking trails cross its slopes and connect to the broader network of paths through the surrounding region.

The region has a long history of mining, particularly for pyrite extraction at higher elevations in past centuries. These activities shaped the mountain and left marks on the landscape that remain visible today.

The church on the summit draws pilgrims who make the journey as part of local spiritual traditions. The place remains connected to how residents think about their landscape and mark important occasions.

The trail starts from lower elevations near Preisdorf and leads to Gasthof Herkuleshof with a steady climb of around 200 meters elevation gain. Good footwear and a few hours of walking time help ensure a comfortable experience on the mountain.

The summit connects to the Alpe-Adria Trail, a long-distance route that links different mountain regions and passes through varied rock formations. Hikers on this connection can spot distinct layers and types of stone that tell the story of how the mountains formed over time.
