K 24 – The Carinthian Mountain Hiking Challenge

DESCRIPTION
K 24 is another name for the so-called Carinthian mountain hiking challenge or the trail linking five of Carinthia’s (Slovene ‘Koroška’) most prominent peaks – Uršlja gora (1699 m), Smrekovec (1577 m), Raduha (2062 m), Olševa (1930 m) and Peca (2125 m). Apart for a few slightly exhausting climbs, the itinerary keeps to very comfortable trails covered with coniferous tree needles and grasses. The most resilient and daring hikers who are able to complete the trail in less than 24 hours will become members of the 24 Club. Even if you are not an extreme athlete or so to speak, these peaks do make for a very worthwhile hiking experience. We recommend you tackle them as part of a multi-day hike or as separate climbs.
