Velika Koroška Baba - Pot z Ledin

Climbing 'Velika Koroška Baba' (also known as Feistritzer Spitz) via the 'Pot z Ledin' route is a highly rewarding alpine experience, graded 'B'. This classification typically signifies a moderately difficult, often protected hiking trail or an easy via ferrata. The path, originating from the Ledine area, leads to the summit of Velika Koroška Baba (2125m) in the stunning Karawanks mountain range, straddling the border of Slovenia and Austria.

The 'Pot z Ledin' is characterized by its breathtaking panoramic views, showcasing the rugged beauty of the surrounding peaks and valleys. While not technically demanding like a challenging rock climb, it does require a good level of physical fitness, sure-footedness, and a head for heights due to some exposed sections. These parts are often secured with steel ropes or ladders, making it accessible to experienced hikers and those new to via ferratas. Standard hiking gear is essential, and a via ferrata set (harness, lanyard, helmet) is strongly recommended for added safety on the protected sections, though sometimes not strictly mandatory depending on individual comfort and conditions. It's a classic route offering an unforgettable journey through a magnificent alpine landscape.
