フェルラッハの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

The hut is still under renovation, but is fully operational. It offers a variety of hearty soups.

Great hut good coffe i only hate when people put her dogs on table somebody will eat there

cozy eatery

Nice place to have something to eat and drink after a walk.

It stands there as if dotted – the Klagenfurter Hütte – between rock, forest, and skylight, at a height where cell phone reception sometimes breaks down, but your breath naturally deepens. You don't pass by here by chance. Anyone who wants to go to the Klagenfurter Hütte wants to go there. And you can feel it – in the conversations at the table, in the silence on the bench in front of the door, in the smile of the landlady. The hut, a mixture of Styrian coziness and Alpine austerity, crouches beneath a steep shingle roof, as if trying to shrink before the mighty rock massif behind it. But it doesn't need to – it is a rock in itself: a starting point, a place of retreat, a place of power. The Kosiak is to the left, the Bielschitza to the right, and those who aspire to higher ground can continue to the Hochstuhl or over the ridge into Slovenian territory. But many stay – with bowls of soup and cottage cake, overlooking the stone-gray thunderstorm in the Karawanks. The air tastes of stone pine, limestone, and wanderlust. On the map, the lines and elevations look like they were drawn by a child – harmless. In reality, however, every step is part of a small adventure. The paths are windy, the wind stubborn, and sometimes you just sit there, stare at the ridge, and think: So this is freedom.

a good starting point for many tours to the Karawanks peaks Hochstuhl, Bielschitza, Vertatscha, Kosiak. Great view from the hut

The hut itself is more of an easy hiking destination than a climbing destination. The via ferrata to the high chair can be easily tackled from here. Otherwise you can find a few climbing routes on Kosiak and Vertatscha.

Excellent food (especially the homemade tiramisu) and cozy, small rooms.
