From the Tonnerhütte via the Lavantsee to St. Martin am Silberberg

Over the summit of the Zirbitzkogel, the scenic path leads to the Lavantsee and over several huts to Carinthia. In the idyllic village of St. Martin am Silbergberg we have reached our destination.
This is a strenuous  but scenic tour. However, it is requested sufficient condition and endurance.

From the Tonnerhütte parking lot, follow the slightly ascending forest road to the 1st hairpin bend. Immediately from the hairpin bend, the footpath branches off the right and turns towards the right edge of the ski slope. Moderately ascending, past the top station of the lift, the path leads to the Hohe Hald.
