Breathe deep - Hike - Enjoy. With clear mountain air, in front of an imposing panorama, on lush alpine meadows. Very close to the sky. The Karawanks are part of the southern Limestone Alps mountain range, where the border between Austria and Slovenia has run along the main ridge since 1919. The highest peak is the Hochstuhl, followed by the Hochobir and the Feistritzer Spitz.

The Koschutahaus on the Mrzli-Log-Alm (Karawanken) is not only a fully staffed mountain refuge, but also the mountaineering and training center of the Austrian Alpine Club (Naturfreunde Kärnten) and a day trip destination on the "Alpine Cultural Trail." The alpine hut enjoys sunny views beneath the steep limestone cliffs of the Koschuta. It is a popular starting point for hikes or challenging mountain and climbing tours. All guests are treated to lovingly prepared home-style cooking from Carinthian cuisine! The best local delicacies, excellent drinks, and a great atmosphere are all part of the experience here. Everything we ate was excellent and plentiful. The hut owner is very friendly and accommodating. We'll be back! Next time, though, with a sled 😉. The Koschutahaus can be reached via the groomed trail using snowshoes, touring skis, or hiking boots. Hut owner Michi ensures perfect conditions with his small snow groomer!

A bit rooty at the beginning of the bike station but... it's fun to ride over it.

Nice little trail, very well maintained. If you're nearby, take a quick ride along it for a change. Important: Trail runs from south to north.
