オストチロルの峠・トップ20

If you're riding a mountain bike, you'll have to carry it a lot if you want to get here from Maria Hilf//St. Jakob.

scenically beautiful transition from the Karlsbader Hütte to the Kerschbaumer Alm

Spectacular view, very pleasant road although quite steep

As an alternative to the via ferrata on the Türml, you can climb north to a sub-peak of the Großer Happs.

From May 16, 2025 (12 noon), the Staller Sattel will be open to all vehicles again. During the summer months, the pass is accessible 24 hours a day with traffic lights. The crossing from the Defreggental to the Antholzertal is possible every hour from 1 to 15 minutes. The crossing from the Antholzertal to the Defreggental is possible every hour from 30 to 45 minutes.

@Markus: I agree 100%. It's great that the open border is possible. Even if the cars always seem to have to wait a long time at the border, but in reality they have to wait at the red light before leaving the pass.

It's simply something special - crossing the national border by bike.

The Tilliacher Joch was already an important crossing point in 1822, where a lively timber trade took place between the Italians and the people of Obertilliach. The timber was used at the time for fortifying Venice, for building houses and bridges, as well as for gondolas and ships. In 1915, the Tilliacher Joch was occupied by the Lesachtal Standschützen Company and the Porzescharte opposite was occupied by the Italians. The Carnic High Route has made the two crossings more important again in modern times.
