Millstätter See Ridge Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The H2Öhenweg combines hiking fun with water, water and water again. Almost along the entire route you can see various springs, the Millstätter See or the well-known "water-spitting" Nockdrachen.

Granattor Monument

Highlight • Monument

An iron passage measuring 3.20 meters in height and 3.50 meters in width. Filled with tons of garnet rocks, the gate tells the story of the ruby red gemstone and hints at the largest garnet deposit in the Alps, which is located inside the mountain.

At the Granattor meet the “Path of Love. Sentiero dell'Amore”, the Alpe-Adria-Trail and the Millstätter See Höhensteig.

From the Kamplnock you have a very nice panoramic view. 👀👍 There are two large information boards that explain the mountain world. The descent is no problem for experienced hikers. 😉

Millstätter Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The landlady Edith and her team serve Carinthian home cooking and other delicacies – the view is simply magnificent! Also great for children, there is a small playground (water, sand, kitchen) and some animals to observe (goats, pigs, donkeys).
