Austria: Hike to Kozjak

Fog, clouds, wind. Who cares. Nada and me drove to Poden (Bodental), from where we started our hike. Our first stop was Mlaka (Märchenwiese) and from there we continued over Vrata to Klagenfurter Hutte/Celovška koča, 1664 m. We stopped only to find our 2nd GeoCache and then we attacked the peak Ovčji vrh (Kozjak) / Geissberg (Kosiak), 2014 m. After a photosession on the top we descended back with a detour to Ogrisalm/Vgrizeva planina, 1569 m.

Weather improved for 5 minutes 

On the top, Nada and Tuši. Most visitors would remember Geissberg/Kozjak as a grassy, rounded mountain with a great view on the central part of Karawanks massif. Maybe we will to, but next time.
