Leckfeldalm Mountain Lodge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At the tourist office we were advised not to drive up to the Leckfeldalm with the camper van.
A hut taxi is also available at the Leckfeldalm.
You can stay overnight here so you can start hiking towards the Sillianer Hütte the next day.....

Helm Customs Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

After the First World War and the conclusion of the Treaty of St. Germain, the hut fell to the Italian side of the border and was subsequently used as a customs house. In the 1930s, it was incorporated into a military border area. After the Second World War, the hut remained in Italian possession, but from the 1970s onwards it was no longer used and gradually fell into disrepair.

Monte Elmo Summit

Highlight • Summit

The Helm mountain is located directly on the border between Austria (East Tyrol) and Italy (South Tyrol). On its summit, the ruins of the former Helmhütte (helm hut) are visible from afar. Numerous remnants of military installations from the mountain warfare of 1915 to 1918 can still be found in the surrounding area.

Next to the crumbling ruins of the old Helmhaus, where construction work is currently underway (as of August 2025), stands a simple yet powerful summit cross. The vertical beam appears to grow directly out of the pile of stones—as if it were a part of the mountain itself. A figure of Christ hangs from it, whose serene expression causes every passerby to pause. Its half-open eyes gaze toward the border between Italy and Austria—as if silently watching over the land.

The Drava Valley at your feet

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Leisurely, the wide hiking trail winds up towards the Karnischer Kamm and Sillianer Hütte. Unspoilt mountain meadows and rugged peaks surround you, but it is worth stopping here to take a look down into the valley: far below you, the Drautal valley spreads out, Sillian nestles against the narrow river and behind it rise the peaks of East Tyrol ,
