Findenig (2,016 m) GS_N8

From the Waidegger Alm you initially hike south until you reach the large fork with the Carnic High Trail No. 403 (at approx. 1,830 m). You go straight ahead, crossing the path, continuing towards Lodingtörl. The path now runs westwards, first gently and then ascending after the Törl, upwards over the ridge of the Findenigkofel.

From the summit cross you hike westward over the summit area, over the Kleine Findenigkofel, descending to the Lodinutpass. At the fork you follow the route straight ahead and subsequently reach Zollnersee.

Now you hike back eastwards along the same path until at the junction where the path from the Findenig (which you came from) meets the Carnic High Trail, you keep straight/slightly left. The route then leads you below the Findenig back to your starting point.

Mindfulness for nature – landowners – your health... and safety on the mountain have the highest priority for your tour and the related tour planning!

Therefore, before every hike, inform yourself about the rules of conduct - Safety on the Mountain - as well as the current weather conditions.
