Košutica / Loibler Baba

The Košutica mountain peak reaches an elevation of 1968 meters, featuring symmetrical slopes and multiple hiking paths leading to its double summit configuration.

Twenty-two water mills once operated along the Ribnitzbaches stream at the base of Košutica, serving the local communities until the late 20th century.

The name 'Baba' derives from Slovenian language, referring to an old woman, while local folklore connects the mountain to tales of Barba, a sorceress.

Hikers can access the mountain from Zell-Oberwinkel through the Hainschgraben trail, with parking facilities available near the former Gasthaus Malle starting point.

The summit contains a registration box with stamps and a cross marker, offering views extending to the Julian Alps and High Tauern mountain ranges.
