Anyone who thinks the climb is over here is wrong. Now there is another climb with quite loose ground... most people will probably have to push - me too 😉

The Tilliacher Joch was already an important crossing point in 1822, where a lively timber trade took place between the Italians and the people of Obertilliach. The timber was used at the time for fortifying Venice, for building houses and bridges, as well as for gondolas and ships. In 1915, the Tilliacher Joch was occupied by the Lesachtal Standschützen Company and the Porzescharte opposite was occupied by the Italians. The Carnic High Route has made the two crossings more important again in modern times.

On the Tilliacher Joch I always have to be quiet when I see witnesses to senseless wars.

Here is the Kreuzberg pass at 1636m, which also forms the border between South Tyrol and Veneto. The Alpine Pass connects the Sextental with the Cadore and is also a natural watershed.

One of the Stoneman control stations at 2,320 m. Take a breather, recharge your batteries and enjoy the view before continuing over the scree field.

The Nemesalm is a rustic hut with a great panoramic view of the Sesto Croda Rossa, a nice place for a break or rest. Super nice hosts and delicious food at fair prices. There is electricity for e-bikes to charge with your own charger.
