    The "Path of Love" begins at the Alexanderhütte with the "Wall of Love", which is thought-provoking. The first half hour to the Millstätter Hütte is suitable for baby carriages, after which the trail becomes more challenging and leads along a hiking trail to the impressive Granattor.

    Beautiful values and words

    Seven stations along the way invite you to reflect on love and write down your own thoughts. Whether sitting on the benches or during the hike - there is always an opportunity to record your personal thoughts. The trail leads through enchanting alpine landscapes that support the feeling of togetherness. During the hike, there are always far-reaching views of Lake Millstätter See and the surrounding mountains of the UNESCO Carinthian Nockberge Biosphere Reserve.

    Ruby red stone sparkle

    If you look closely, you can also find the "stone of love", the garnet. This hike is not only a journey of discovery through nature, but also a journey to yourself and your own feelings.

    Safety information

    Correct behavior in the mountains

    • Careful tour planning based on descriptions and hiking maps is essential for the success of a mountain tour.
    • It is equally important to correctly assess the mountain experience, fitness, surefootedness, head for heights and resilience of all participants.
    • Never leave the marked hiking trails and avoid shortcuts.
    • Find out about the weather conditions before the hike and return to the valley if the weather deteriorates.
    • The mountains are there for everyone. It is the duty of every hiker to help maintain them and keep them clean. Take waste down into the valley and protect the flora and fauna.
    • Always keep dogs under control and on a short lead. If an attack by a grazing animal is imminent, put the dog on a lead immediately.
    • Austria's farmers make an important contribution to the preservation of our alpine landscape. Visitors are asked to respectfully adapt to this beautiful landscape.
    • Treat the people who work here, nature and the animals with respect.

    Here are the most important emergency numbers in the event of an accident in Austria:

    140 Alpine emergency call

    144 Rescue emergency call

    112 European emergency call (possible from all networks. Switch off your cell phone and dial "112" instead of the PIN after switching it on)

    Hallo Silvia, Es stimmt, es ist kein Rundweg. Wir haben aber einen daraus gemacht. Sind unten in Millstatt gestartet, durch die “Klangschlucht” hoch… Rechte Hand Richtung “Lammersdorfer Hütte”. Hoch bis zum Gipfel… dann auf den “Weg der Liebe”. Runter zur “Alexanderhütte” weiter runter zur “Schwaigerhütte” und zurück in die “Klangschlucht” bis runter nach Millstatt.
