Wertatscha, Mountain peak in Karawanks range, Austria and Slovenia
The Wertatscha summit reaches an elevation of 2,180 meters, featuring limestone formations and dolomite layers across its northern and southern faces.
The mountain gained increased accessibility after Slovenia joined the European Union in 2004, leading to more cross-border hiking and climbing activities.
The mountain holds significance for both Austrian and Slovenian communities, with different names reflecting the linguistic heritage of each region.
Multiple hiking trails connect to the summit from Ljubelj pass on the Austrian side and Završnica valley, with ascent times ranging from three to four hours.
The north face of Wertatscha extends 600 meters vertically, offering various climbing routes and winter skiing opportunities in the surrounding terrain.
