Gerlitzen Weather Cross

Highlight • Summit

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!

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.

Steinwender Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Nice view, delicious food (tested and approved: Kaspressknödelsuppe, Schnitzel and Kaiserschmarren), very friendly and very fast service. The new tenant really has it.

Hiked to the summit today...from the middle station...but there is no summit cross on the Gerlitze.
When hiking down, then stopped at the Steinwenderhütte. The food there is fantastic 😍 and the hut owners are very friendly.
