Mölltaler Polinik, Mountain peak in Kreuzeck group, Carinthia, Austria
Mölltaler Polinik is a mountain in the Kreuzeck group located in Carinthia and rises to about 2,784 meters. The terrain features steep rocky slopes near the summit and open Alpine meadows in the middle sections within the High Tauern range.
The Polinikhaus lodge was built in the early 20th century at about 1,873 meters to support mountaineering in the region. The refuge became an important base for the growing climbing activity in this mountain area.
The summit attracts mountaineers from across the region who gather to share their climbing experiences and techniques. The lodge here serves as a meeting point where both locals and visitors stop to rest, eat, and connect with others who love the mountains.
The route to the summit starts from Obervellach or Flattach and requires moderate mountain experience and sure-footedness. Multiple access paths are available, and hikers should check conditions before heading up since weather and snow can change conditions quickly.
The approach through Ragga Ravine guides visitors across boardwalks alongside multiple waterfalls that run through a roughly 200-meter-deep natural gorge. This unusual path offers an immersive experience between rock walls and water that feels quite different from a typical mountain climb.
