    Not for late risers!

    Anyone who wants to experience a sunrise must get up early. Standing at the summit of the Gartnerkofel (2,195 m) when the sun bathes the surrounding mountains in a golden shimmering light is always an unforgettable experience.

    We start in the darkness of night along the Garnitzenweg to the Garnitzenthörl, where we see the light of Luschari in the Julian Alps, a short drinking break at the mountain station of the Gartnerkofelbahn - then further at dawn towards the summit - the first dawn colors the sky, and there are repeatedly amazed looks into the valley (Hermagor Pressegger See), or upwards to the summit cross. After about 1.5 hours of walking, we stand at the summit, a warm mountain greeting, and all eyes and cameras are directed at the reddened sky.

    Silent and touching moments - everyone perceives the sunrise differently - but all agree - it is a special experience!

    With many photos on the memory card, we make our way to the Watschiger Alm, enjoying the good alpine breakfast with wonderfully fragrant coffee, hearty alpine products, and delicious Reindling.
