    The ascent to Mallestiger Mittagskogel is a very popular half-day route among locals, which leads over the historic customs officer path to the summit in the last section.

    Author’s recommendation

    From the saddle, the ascent to Schwarzkogel (Crni vrh) 1,832 m is also possible as an extension of the presented route or as an independent route.

    Safety information

    At the Mitzl-Moitzl Hut, there is an emergency shelter under the roof. This is accessible from the outside.

    Roadbook

    Starting from the Gasthof Baumgartner, follow path 683. You will pass by two springs and reach the first hut - the "Panier Hut". After about another 30 minutes, you reach the unmanaged "Mitzl-Moitzl Hut" at 1,639 m. From the Mitzl-Moitzl Hut, you reach the saddle between Schwarzkogel and Mallestiger Mittagskogel directly on the state border in about 15 minutes. From here, follow the varied path 684 westwards to the summit of the Mallestiger Mittagskogel at 1,801 m. The last 30 meters are very exposed and unsecured - you must be sure-footed and absolutely free from vertigo.

    The descent follows the same route.
