Falkert, Mountain summit in Carinthia, Austria

Falkert is a mountain summit in the Nock Mountains reaching about 2300 meters high. The terrain features varied slopes and natural formations that create different landscapes across the mountain.

The sources document no founding date or early history for Falkert; its recorded development is as a family recreation area around the Falkertsee, with slopes above the tree line used for skiing and a network of summer trails. The Salzsteigweg long-distance route from the Bohemian Forest to the Gailtal crosses the mountain.

The Heidi-Alm theme park at the Falkertsee brings the children's television series "Heidi" to life with more than 100 figures from that world, and the Salzsteigweg long-distance trail from the Bohemian Forest to the Gailtal crosses the mountain. In summer, marmots live on the Falkert in a healthy population and can be observed.

Access to the mountain is possible via marked trails that begin at the Heidi-Alm parking area and connect multiple summits. Bringing appropriate clothing and gear is important, as weather in high-altitude areas can change quickly.

The southern flank of Falkert is one of the few rock faces in the otherwise gently rounded Nockberge. The Salzsteigweg long-distance trail from the Bohemian Forest to the Gailtal crosses the mountain, and in summer marmots live here in a healthy population.
