Free parking at Klapfsee

Highlight • Parking

The route there is along a gravel road through the forest. However, if you drive slowly and carefully, you can easily reach the parking lot by car.

Klapfsee

Highlight • Lake

Insanely beautiful lake in an incredible location. From here the path to the Portehütte is not far and is easily passable. Only the car traffic to the parking lot is annoying. Good refreshment option after a hike or bike tour.

Porze Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

ÖAV hut directly on the Karnische Höhenweg. Interesting room layout, partly on 3 levels. Highly recommended as a place to stay.

Tilliacher Pass (Forcella Dignas)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Directly over the Tilliacher yoke runs the Austrian-Italian border. Only a few meters away from the yoke, you will also find well-preserved attachment positions from the First World War, when the yoke was fiercely fought over.

Old buildings from the 1st World War to secure the Italian border. The 3 buildings are completely accessible. Many rooms are still recognizable (for example the bathroom). Above are still several shooting positions.

June 24, 2025,Klapfsee - Porze Hütte - Tilliach Joch in and out
Wow!!! The forest road leads to Klapfsee. Park the car there. A walk around the lake is worthwhile; you'll discover beautiful spots where you'll want to linger. Then it's up to the Porze Hut. We took the forest road so we could enjoy the stunning panorama along the way. There are also a few shortcuts (trails). From the hut, we …

Start at the Klapfsee parking lot, which is reached via a gravel road. Here you can take a cool bath in the crystal clear water. The ascent to the Porzehütte was via the steep path. You can also take the gravel road, but the climb is without a doubt the nicer option. At first it goes steeply through the forest, …

The times are not correct - were on the road for a total of 6 hours, since with a 4-year-old child - quite steep stairs - the child is secured - but there is a wide gravel path to Porzer Hütte - but about 1-1.5 hours for normal pedestrians.

Coming from Lienz, turn right onto "Dorf" in Obertillach.
It's an adventurous 30-minute drive along forest roads – definitely not suitable for low-slung vehicles – to the parking lot (free and fenced) just before Klapfsee.
A forest road or a trail partially through the forest leads to the hut. Those who prefer uphill trails can simply do the loop in …
