Discover Schlanitzen

Schlanitzen offers several specific points of interest for planning your trip: St. Leonhard Church, a hike along the Way of the Cross, other routes, and various access roads on gravel. The information answers different questions. For the church, the focus is on its architecture and how to get there; for the routes, the course or a via ferrata is relevant, while for the access roads, road length, surface, and suitable vehicle size matter. This lets you plan the activities that interest you most separately.

St. Leonhard Church and the Way of the Cross

St. Leonhard Church in Schlanitzen is dedicated to Saint Leonhard and has a Gothic stencil-painted ceiling. For travelers interested in sacred architecture, the site combines a specific dedication with a named architectural feature.

The hike from Tröpolach to the church follows a steep Way of the Cross and takes about 30 minutes. As the path can be slippery, hiking boots are recommended. The approximate duration helps with time planning; the recommendation to wear hiking boots also draws attention to the condition of the path.

Routes with distinctive features

The St. Leonhard Schlanitzen RW_N24 route climbs uphill, parallel to the ski slope and gondola lift, toward Schlanitzen. Its defining features are its uphill direction and parallel course alongside the slope and gondola lift.

The Trogkofel and Rosskofel route has a different feature: on the south side of Trogkofel, it includes a short via ferrata. Equipment requirements may change, so check the current requirements before your tour. Unlike the RW_N24, where the course and direction are the focus, the via ferrata section is an important feature to consider when planning this tour.

Access roads and road conditions

The Trogkofel and Rosskofel route is accessed via the village of Schlanitzen. Its final section to Rudnigalm follows an 8.8-kilometer gravel road; road conditions may vary. Check conditions before setting off so you can plan your journey based on the current state of the access road.

Tröpolacher Alm can be reached from Tröpolach via Schlanitzen along a well-maintained gravel road. Minibuses carrying up to 20 people can also use the road. If you are organizing a group trip, the stated vehicle capacity provides a specific point of reference for planning. The information relates to different destinations.

Regional cuisine

Jokl´s Hütte serves typical regional dishes made with produce from local farms. As the menu may change, it is a good idea to check what is currently on offer before planning a visit.
