On lonely paths we hike the border between Austria and Slovenia.

The Grenzgänger tour takes us to the summit of the Bärentaler Kotschna, which lies in the middle of a long mountain ridge of the Karawanken. The ascent takes us through a picturesque river valley and past plateaus that are grazed in summer, then through a dense pine forest until we finally reach open terrain on the summit. From there, the view sweeps far in all directions. On the way down we can take a rest on the Belska planina, a high plateau with a great view. The tour is suitable for average to fit hikers.

Profile picture of Svenja Trachte Author Svenja Trachte 
“They take pictures of the mountain climbers at the top of the mountain. They don’t take pictures along the way cause who wants to remember the relentless climb, the pain and anguish of taking it to the next level – nobody takes pictures of that, nobody wants to remember. We just want to remember the view from the top, the breathtaking moment at the edge of the world. That’s what keeps us climbing and it’s worth the pain, that’s the crazy part. It’s worth anything.“ – Anonymous
