KM4 Strajach - Mussen

Ascent:

From the town hall in Kötschach Mauthen you first follow about 100 meters of the federal road southwards and then turn right to follow the B111 into the Lesachtal valley up to the village of Strajach.

At the fountain you turn right (at kilometer 7.3) and continue along the narrow asphalt road uphill. After about 100 meters the road turns into a gravel path.

At an altitude of 1,220 meters (at kilometer 9.7) you reach a junction where you continue right uphill (left leads downhill later to St. Jakob), until you reach the parking lot at 1,485 m altitude (at kilometer 12.1) - here the MTB route ends - from here, riding is prohibited.

Return/Descent:

The descent starts on the same path, then towards St. Jakob (turn left at kilometer 17) and later returns via the B111 to the starting point.

FAIR PLAY & RESPECT:

Awareness for nature – landowners – your health.... and safety on the mountain have top priority during your route and the associated route planning!

Therefore, inquire before each hike about the rules of conduct - Safety on the mountain - as well as the current weather conditions.

Waste disposal:

Waste is not always avoidable - but it has no place in nature and should be disposed of properly (preferably in the valley or at home).

Emergency numbers:

European emergency number: 112 (access to any available network)

Alpine emergency Austria: 140

Arrival by car:

From Hermagor via the B111 (Gailtal Road) or from Oberdrauburg via the B110 (Plöckenpass Road) to Kötschach-Mauthen.

The most sustainable travel option is by train to Oberdrauburg (coming from Lienz or Villach) or to Hermagor (coming from Villach).
