Through the Bodental to the Meerauge and the Fairy Tale Meadow Great circular route through the four-kilometer-long high valley Bodental. From Bodental, it goes through small villages to the impressive Meerauge, a relic from the Ice Age. The pond shines particularly in various shades of blue and green when the sun is shining. Next, it goes to the Fairy Tale Meadow, located at the uppermost end of the valley. Framed by snow-covered mountains, a real experience.

    Sehr schöne Tour mit toller Aussicht - unbedingt in der Richtung wie angegeben starten, dann ist der Abstieg nicht so steil. Wer Schneerosen mag, wird hier sehr glücklich sein. Soooo viele, unfassbar.

    Eine sehr schöne Tour durch eine beeindruckende Landschaft. Wir sind die Tour vom Parkplatz der Tscheppa-Schlucht gegangen. Kurz nach der Teufelsbrücke die sog. "Märchenhafte-Ausblick-Runde" bis Bodental und von dort zurück mit dem Bus. Die Schlucht ist gut zu durchwandern, hat ein paar steile Anstiege über Stege und Treppen und führt immer am Wasser entlang mit Blick auf die Wasserfälle. Auch der Weg nach der Schlucht Richtung Bodental ist weitgehend im Schatten durch den Wald am Wasser entlang. Wir haben ca. 9 KM zurückgelegt, dafür ca. 3,5 Stunden benötigt und etwa 470 hm gemeistert. Der Bus hat uns dann zurück zum Parkplatz gebracht. Die Parkgebühr liegt für den Tag bei 6 Euro. Insgesamt ein lohnender Ausflug.

    Sehr schöne Schlucht, Trittsicherheit und gutes Schuhwerk voraussetzung. Einen Abstecher zum Tschaukofall ist lohnenswert. Man kann die Schlucht wieder zurück gehen. Eintrittspreis 10,00 Euro pro Person zzgl. 4 Euro Parkgebühr fand ich etwas teuer.

    Falsche Beschreibung dieser Tour Daten nur für eine Richtung angegeben Weg ist erst ab der Abzweigung in den Wald markiert - Markierungen sind runde gelbe Kreise mit der Nummer 12, ausgeschildert am Start jedoch als 662. Ab dem Waldstück steiler aber schöner Waldweg, letztes Stück Geröll. Aussicht ein Traum auf die Karawanken, Selenitza Gipfelkreuz zu sehen. Stecken empfohlen

    Sehr schöne Familienwanderung. Das eigentliche Gipfelkreuz ist zwar im Wald, dafür ist die Aussicht beim zweiten umso schöner. Track folgt im unteren Bereich am Rückweg nicht dem markierten Wanderweg.
