Gerlitzen Weather Cross

Highlight • Summit

Gerlitzen and its little hat. Anyone who has traveled this region often will be familiar with this phrase! It refers to the peak of Gerlitzen hidden behind a cloud (Gerlitzen has a hat on).

For a hike on Gerlitzen, it's important to check the weather forecast to ensure that not a single cloud can obstruct the magnificent view of the Carinthian Valley and the Karawanks peak!

From up here you have a beautiful view of the valley. You can also use many hiking trails. I hiked up here and took the train back down.

Nice view, delicious food (tested and approved: Kaspressknödelsuppe, Schnitzel and Kaiserschmarren), very friendly and very fast service. The new tenant really has it.
