Karawanken Löwen Trail

About this event

The Karawanken Löwen Trail ventures into the remote Bodental valley in Austria's southern Karawanken range, near the Slovenian border. This 22-kilometre mountain route climbs 1,186 metres through alpine meadows and forested slopes, offering a genuine alpine experience away from busier Austrian trails. The terrain requires solid mountain fitness — technical descents and sustained climbs rather than gentle forest paths. August brings warm valleys and potentially spectacular high-altitude views, though mountain weather always adds an element of surprise. A rewarding choice for runners seeking a lesser-known corner of the Alps.
