뵈르터제‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 산 정상

And then there's the Pirkerkogel – 666 meters above everyday life. The path up isn't long, but long enough to forget the noise below. At the top, a picture like something out of a brochure about an Alpine idyll awaits: lake, mountains, forests – and in the middle of it all, the Pyramidenkogel, rising from the back of the mountain like a distant exclamation point. If you're lucky, you'll still find the bench free – it's half in the light, half in the shade, and, as one commentator wrote, is dry even in the rain. Perhaps that's the true quality of this place: even the weather seems to be considerate here.

Those who venture out of the maze of Klagenfurt's alleyways, the sounds of ice cream parlors, buses, and construction sites, will find a quiet counterpoint above Lake Wörthersee: the Zillhöhe. A place made for people with tired legs and a wide view. The path up leads through a sparse mixed forest where the trees still know how to cast shadows without chasing the sun. Birdsong instead of traffic noise, the scent of pine instead of exhaust fumes – and at some point, you find yourself standing in front of a wooden pavilion that looks as if someone had deliberately placed it precisely where the world comes to rest a little. Next to it is a wooden bird feeder, half-hidden in the greenery, which the surrounding birds apparently appreciate as a canteen. And then – through the trees – it flashes into view: Lake Wörthersee. Turquoise blue, as if someone had simply relocated the Alps to the Mediterranean. Up here, time is more generous. Conversations become slower, thoughts more airy. The view isn't just for your smartphone, it's also for your heart. You see how the lake blends into the landscape, how villas and forests nestle along its edge, and you can't help but fall silent as well. A place that wants nothing – except for you to stay. Maybe with a snack. Maybe with a book. Or just for the sake of it. Because anyone who has ever sat here understands why some places don't need much to be special – except a wooden roof, a birdhouse, and a view that stretches far.

On the Kathreinkogel, huts of various dimensions were found wherever natural depressions in the steep slopes provided absolute protection from the wind. A remarkable farm site dating to the 12th/11th century BC was uncovered on a western slope terrace. The most important find is a prehistoric vertical loom.

Unfortunately not much view anymore, everything overgrown

Very nice quiet hike

While cyclists thronged Lake Wörthersee on car-free day, we drove to St. Bartholomew's. We parked the cars at the small church and followed the signs for "Hoher Gallin Weg" (High Gallin Trail). The path led us uphill through the forest. After a good hour, we reached the summit cross. A magnificent view of Lake Wörthersee opened up before us. After a leisurely rest, we hiked westward downhill to Töpriach. Unfortunately, we had to walk back to our starting point along the asphalt road, which, however, was hardly used by cars. We enjoyed a well-deserved meal after the hike at the Gasthaus Gatternig in Villach.

Special place with a beautiful view.
