Stol / Hochstuhl, Mountain summit on the Carinthia–Slovenia border

Stol, also called Veliki Stol or Hochstuhl, is the highest summit of the Karawanks, on the border between Feistritz im Rosental in Carinthia and the municipality of Žirovnica in Slovenia. It is built of Dachstein limestone: the north side drops over 500 metres into a deeply furrowed, crumbling wall, while the south side falls in gentler grassy slopes. The main ridge carries the Sava–Drava watershed, marked at the top by boundary stone XXV/135, and the Kleine Stuhl (2,172 m) stands just south of the main peak.

The first documented ascent took place in 1794 when Count Franz von Hohenwart reached the summit following an invitation from mountaineer Sigmund Zois. This early climb marked the beginning of organized mountaineering activity in the region.

The Slovene name Veliki Stol means 'great chair', from the mountain's shape seen from the east. The German Hochstuhl was introduced only in 1882 by Ludwig Jahne in the first Karawanks guide, as a translation of Stol; before that Germans called it Stou, a phonetic rendering of the Slovene.

Several hiking paths ascend from both the Austrian and Slovenian sides, with difficulty levels varying depending on the chosen route. The Prešeren Lodge provides accommodation for those planning to spend the night on the mountain.

The mountain serves as a natural watershed separating the flow of the Sava and Drava river systems across the Austrian-Slovenian border. This geographical feature makes it a natural boundary between two distinct landscapes.
