Imposing, impressive, and expressive, the Mittagskogel rises above Lake Faak. The well-marked path leads through dwarf pine slopes and scree gullies to the summit cross at 2145 meters, where you are offered a panoramic view from the Julian Alps, the Gail and Gurk valleys to the Hohe Tauern. A hearty snack is then prepared for you at the Berta Hut to regain strength for the descent.
Author’s recommendation
Stop at the Berta Hut. As an easier alternative, you can hike from the Berta Hut to the Ferlacher Spitze.

Berta-HütteRoadbook
From the Hotel Mittagskogel, the road branches off towards the Berta Hut. You can drive as far as possible. Follow the red-white-red trail markers 681 or 603 to the Ferlacher Sattel (Berta Hut). From there, take the Hornerweg, always following marker 680, through dwarf pine slopes and scree gullies to the Mittagskogel notch. Then continue over the southeast slope to the summit cross of Mittagskogel (2145m). For the descent, return the same way to the Ferlacher Sattel. From here, ascend slightly to the managed Berta Hut (1567m). After a short rest, there are two options for further descent: a shady forest trail that leads downhill on the right side from the Berta Hut, crossing the forest road several times, or directly the forest road.
