KL_N5 Crete Rosse

Drive from Tröpolach towards Rattendorf and at the western end of Tröpolach follow the Schlanitzen sign. From there, a gravel road leads up to Rudnigalm. From the parking lot, ascend on path 413 to the fork and then go left towards Troghöhe. Over a rocky mountain meadow, you reach the saddle, turn right, and follow the Carnic High Trail 403 for about 10 minutes. There is the start of the route below the Trogkofel south face. First, you climb in a gully and then upwards over the right bounding edge. Through a narrow gully equipped with rungs, you must reach a wedged block. You have to go under this and to a small ledge with the trail log. An exposed wall step leads to the end of the protections. Over a steep step, you get back to the hiking terrain with the exit sign. Over the Trogkofel plateau, you reach the summit in about 30 minutes.

Descent:

Best to descend via the partly secured Überlacher path and hike back to Rudnigalm.

FAIR PLAY & RESPECT:

Mindfulness for nature – landowners – your health... and safety in the mountains have the highest priority during your route/your mountain sport experience and the associated route planning!

Therefore, inform yourself before every via ferrata experience about the rules of conduct - Safety in the Mountains - as well as the current weather conditions.

Waste disposal:

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

Emergency numbers:

Europe-wide emergency number: 112 (access to every available network)

Mountain rescue Austria: 140

Travel to Tröpolach is possible by public transport.
