A short detour from the 4-summit trail to the top of the Bleiberg is definitely worth it!

This is a beautiful tour, but one that also pushes the limits. The climb to Petellin is a steep trail. Difficult, but doable, and once you've completed it, you'll be full of happy hormones. Overall, a fantastic, challenging, and also empty tour.

July 11, 2025,🇦🇹Villach: 4-Gipfel-Aussichtstour von Egg

Today we wanted to try it😁 - 4 mountains (⛰️Wauberg - 689 m, ⛰️Petelin - 802 m, ⛰️Bleiberg - 772 m, ⛰️Tabor - 724 m) all in one go, or rather in one day. The tour is excellently signposted👍 (unlike many other tours we've done in the area)! However, we noticed that the signage in the opposite direction is often …

Starting point is behind a supermarket. There are also free parking spaces. Most of the hike leads through the woods and is therefore pleasantly shady even on hot summer days. The ascent to the Petelin is quite "tidy" (steep). At the end of the circuit there is the possibility to stop at the Taborhöhe.

Since the weather had calmed down again, although it was still quite cold up high, we ventured to climb four peaks at once. The four-peak view tour around Lake Faak first took us to the 802m high Petelin. Unfortunately, this first peak was still shrouded in fog in the morning, so we had no view at all from there. Thankfully, …

August 12, 2023,Tag 8 Teil 2, nochmal anstrengend: 4-Gipfel-Tour (Tabor, Bleiberg, Petelin, Wauberg)

We low mountain hobby hikers had imagined it to be more relaxed: in the sweltering heat and constant change from steep uphill and downhill over often narrow root paths, we reached our limits. It was nice anyway 🙂

We greeted the new year with a hike, 4 peaks at Faakee Lake, in the afternoon light, sunshine and warmth. This is how the new year can be - in motion, exploring new things, joy, strength, health and success.
We wish you a good start into the year too 🙏
