Dobratsch Runde - Stage 3: Nötsch im Gailtal – Thörl-Maglern

The Dobratsch Runde connects diverse landscapes, cultural highlights, and impressive views around Carinthia’s oldest nature park over five stages. Covering a total of approximately 85 kilometers, 2,400 meters in elevation, and around 25 hours of hiking, participants experience the full diversity of the region: from gentle valley sections to traditional villages and scenic high-altitude trails. The Dobratsch Runde is thus an ideal experience for anyone who wants to discover the nature park in its entirety—step by step, stage by stage. Stage 3: Nötsch im Gailtal – Thörl-Maglern The third stage of the circular hiking trail leaves the immediate surroundings of the Dobratsch behind and opens up magnificent views of the entire mountain massif. The trail leads from one idyllic village to another, with the landscape exuding a very special charm. A romantic wooden bridge lies on the way to Achomitz, whose village square is one of the most original in the region. Göriach, with its church well worth a visit, also presents itself in a friendly manner. Through the ascending forest, you reach the stage destination, the border town of Thörl-Maglern. The hike is accompanied by Naturpark rangers. A shuttle will take you back to the starting point, with a return around 5:30 PM.
