Trupejevo Poldne

Techantinger Mittagskogel is a mountain summit in the Western Karawanks on the Slovenian-Austrian border, standing about 1931 meters high. From this peak, you can look out over the Upper Sava Valley with views toward Spik in the Julian Alps and the Carinthian landscape beyond.

The mountain name comes from the Trupej farmstead on the Austrian side, while the German name derives from Tetchanting village. This border mountain region has long drawn walkers and herders from both countries.

The summit sits on the border between Slovenia and Austria and draws hikers from both sides, with local trails starting from Gozd Martuljek and the Austrian village of Tetchanting. Both sides of the mountain show different characteristics in their landscape and use.

The climb requires solid hiking gear and physical preparation, with routes from both sides of the border offering different difficulty levels. Winter conditions mean you need extra equipment for ski touring when snow is deep.

The peak can be reached on foot as well as by ski in winter, making it a versatile mountain destination. The route over the Austrian side follows historic herder and trade paths that run along the border.
