Gerlitzen and its little hat. Anyone who has traveled this region often will be familiar with this phrase! It refers to the peak of Gerlitzen hidden behind a cloud (Gerlitzen has a hat on).

For a hike on Gerlitzen, it's important to check the weather forecast to ensure that not a single cloud can obstruct the magnificent view of the Carinthian Valley and the Karawanks peak!

German Tower with Viewing Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the top of the Gerlizen is the "English Tower". It is a round old building at an airy height. Right next to it you will find a beautiful viewing platform from which you can overlook the Ossiacher See and all of Villach.

Gerlitzen Summit

Highlight • Summit

From up here you have a beautiful view of the valley. You can also use many hiking trails. I hiked up here and took the train back down.
