Tschiernock high-altitude circular hiking trail

From the Schwaigerhütte and Alexanderhütte, the hiking trail leads to the Tschierweger Nock and further to the Hochpalfennock. The hiking trail follows the ridge up to the Tschiernock. Then follows the descent to the Hansbauerhütte, which is only a few minutes' walk from the Sommereggerhütte. After a refreshment at the huts, it goes over the Leitenbachalm back to the Alexanderhütte.

Important prerequisites for the success of a mountain hike, in addition to careful study of guides and maps, include optimal equipment. Basic equipment consists of solid, well-fitting mountain or hiking shoes with grippy soles, water- and wind-resistant mountain clothing in layers, hiking poles, functional tops for changing, sunglasses, sun protection, mobile phone, hiking map, a first aid kit, as well as enough to drink and a snack.

The Schwaigerhütte is accessible from Tschierweg in the market town of Millstatt am See via the 8 km long toll Millstätter Almstraße, a wide and well-maintained gravel road. You should allow about 30 minutes for the ascent. To maintain the Almstraße and as an infrastructure contribution for the care of the alpine landscapes, a toll of €8 per car is charged (with the Millstätter See Inclusive Card, the ride is free). The toll fee can be paid in cash (including change) or by card on the way up or down.

It is possible to drive up to the final parking lot at the Schwaigerhütte by car. Here the car can be parked safely and free of charge.
