The Karnischer Höhenweg is a ridge walk and the views in all directions are often spectacular. It sits right in the middle of some huge mountain ranges. The views to the south, particularly at the beginning of the walk, are dominated by what is arguably the most beautiful part of the world’s most beautiful mountain range, the Sesto Dolomites. To the north, the much smaller Lienz Dolomites (the western end of the Gailtal Alps) attempt to grab attention, only to be put firmly in their place by the more distant but much larger white-topped summits of the Hohe Tauern. Views of Austria’s most important range, dominated by its highest mountains the Großglockner (3798m) and the Großvenediger (3764m), can be seen along the entire length of the Karnischer Höhenweg. To the south, views of the Sesto Dolomites are replaced by the South Carnic Alps, a complex range of limestone mountains dissected by deep valleys. The Julian Alps, Slovenia’s most important mountain range, come into view from the southern side of Monte Coglians on day 4 and, like a harbinger of the journey’s end, dominate the second half of the Höhenweg.
