August 12, 2025, Lingkor Tibetan Pilgrimage Path Hüttenberg

This is a good attempt to experience the Tibetan feeling in Austria. The grating path is certainly not Tibetan. However, it is still challenging for many because of the deep views. The rock paintings in Tibet are much more vibrant and detailed. The skull is a constant reminder of transience. The Chain Bridge, which still exists in some parts of Tibet and Bhutan, is unfortunately a fake. The chains hang from the ropes merely as decoration. Only the metal box in front of the spiral staircase remains completely unexplained to me. The explanation of the path is available in the museum! (Film) Overall, still highly recommended (at least for those unfamiliar with Tibet and Buddhists).

For a short culinary break, you can head to the Puckl pastry shop in this charming little town.

The Diex parish church is one of the best preserved fortified churches in Carinthia and is located in the center of Diex on the southern slope of the Saualpe. It is dedicated to Saint Martin. The church was first mentioned in a Gurk land register in 1326, but its origins date back to before 1168.

Since 2023, the old Diex warehouse has housed a small museum and a self-service shop with regional products (eggs, potatoes, pasta, flour, oils, bacon, soaps, creams, ...). Open all day.
