Amberger Alm

From the village of Afritz, you reach Lärchenboden via Verditzer Straße, where there are plenty of parking spaces. Follow the path towards Steinhauser Hut and from there up the forest road (Trail No. 28) to the junction into the forest path. After crossing some forest roads, the Schwarzsee Hut (1,750 m) is reached. Across open terrain, you then hike a few more minutes to Schwarzsee (1,791 m). Here, it is possible to extend the route with Palnock (1,901 m) by going west over the alpine terrain (Trail No. 180).

The shown route leads from Schwarzsee eastwards (Trail No. 179) with a pleasant ascent to the sunny Amberger Alm (1,831 m) with a magnificent view over the Carinthian lowlands, to Dobratsch and the Gurktal Alps. After a long sunbath, the path alongside the former ski slope is recommended until the trail (Trail No. 27 or 180) crosses the slope. Here you turn onto the hiking trail and follow it back to Lärchenboden.

By public transport to Afritz. From Afritz, taxi service to Lärchenboden valley station or mountain station.
