"Truly amazing hike - easy walking across the beautiful Karawanke mountains. Needless to say, the views are breathtaking. Starting with mysterious Barron tunnels, continuing to majestic Mt. Stol and finishing on the ridge of Mt. Golica. I will never forget these views. The mountain huts are small and cozy, with very friendly and helpful caretakers. And they serve such a good food! The route instructions was exact and easy to understand. We got a map with route already marked on it. We felt very safe throughout our hike. The whole time is easy walking, appropriate for a regular hiker. The route is well marked the whole time and the best thing of all - these mountains are not very crowded."
