E.-T.-Compton Hut (1,650 m) via Kreuzwirt

Starting from the Hotel-Gasthof Kreuzwirt, the path first leads to the Waisacher Alm (approx. 2 ½ hours). From there, the path descends southwest to Pfarreben. We descend steeply westward to the pasture fence. In front of us is the Eggeralm with the Reisskofel mountain range. The trail turns moderately uphill southwest through a mountain forest mainly of larches toward the “Schönboden”. (On the right, the red marked trail coming up from Bruggen in the Drau Valley.)

Notes: Return either via the Waisacher Alm and Tschrischen to Weißbriach (approx. 3 hours) or via Pfarreben-Gössering to Weißbriach (approx. 3 hours).
