Golden peaks in the Nockberge Biosphere Park
The Mallnock (2,226 m) is one of the highest peaks in the Nockberge Mountains and is at its most beautiful in autumn. Even the ascent by mountain railway or hike up treats you to fresh mountain air and breathtaking views. Above the golden larch forests of the UNESCO Carinthian Nockberge Biosphere Park – Austria's largest UNESCO biosphere park since 2012 – you can experience an impressive natural spectacle. The spicy scent of Swiss stone pine accompanies hikers on the picturesque trails and makes autumn hiking in Carinthia an unforgettable experience.
