Falkert Lake

Highlight • Lake

Falkertsee is a small holiday mountain village in the Kärnten Nock Mountains with a beautiful, high-alpine lake and some lift facilities for winter sports. In summer it is more of an oasis of peace, while in winter there can be quite a bit of activity.

Ochsenauge Pond

Highlight • Lake

The ox eye is a small lake above the Falkertsee. On the way to the summit of the Falkert you pass here and can take a break on the rest benches. Many flowers such as the alpine rose grow on the bank.

Sonntagstal

Highlight • Gorge

Most of the vertical meters were made during the ascent over the Sonntagstal (approx. 300 vertical meters). It was very easy to see that the rocks are phyllite and slate, since the southern flank of the Falkert is not covered by grass like other mountains in the Nock region.

Or just after the summit. Maybe better summit view? In any case, the path from here to the Falkertspitze is quite demanding. The terrain is not really suitable for families. You should be surefooted.

Ascent to Falkertspitze

Highlight • Climb

Nice overview of the Sunday valley where you can see how the meltwater affects the slopes (slippery, mudflows).

Falkertspitz Summit

Highlight • Summit

At 2,308 meters high, the Falkert is one of the most beautiful peaks in the Nock Mountains. At its foot are the Falkertsee and the Heidialm as well as a couple of wonderful huts to stop off as a reward for the mountain tour. There is a steep ascent to the Falkert along the cliff edge, which I managed in 33 minutes. But I recommend the longer tour over the Alm, which can be done comfortably in an hour and a half.
