Stol / Hochstuhl, Mountain summit between Carinthia and Slovenia.
The Stol mountain reaches an elevation of 2,237 meters, featuring steep limestone cliffs on its northern face and gentler grass slopes on the southern side.
The first documented climb of Stol occurred in 1794 when Count Franz von Hohenwart reached the summit following an invitation from mountaineer Sigmund Zois.
The mountain's names reflect its appearance: Stol means 'chair' in Slovenian, while the German name Hochstuhl translates to 'high chair' in English.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from both Austrian and Slovenian sides, with the Prešeren Lodge offering accommodation for up to 45 visitors.
The mountain forms a natural watershed between two major river systems, separating the flows of the Sava and Drava rivers across the Austrian-Slovenian border.
