  • Club Alpino Italiano
    CLUB ALPINO ITALIANO ASSOCIAZIONE XXX OTTOBRE SOCIETA’ ALPINA DELLE GIULIE domenica 24 settembre 2017 IN CARINZIA, SUL MITTAGSKOGEL Il Gruppo Escursionismo della XXX Ottobre e la Commissione Escursioni della SAG organizzano per domenica un’uscita in Austria, in Carinzia, sui monti delle Karavanke, con due percorsi dai seguenti profili topografici ed altimetrici: Giro A: Kopein (835m), Rifugio Bertahütte (1567m), Mittagskogel (2143m), Rifugio Bertahütte (1567m), Kopein (835m) Giro B: Kopein (835m), Rifugio Bertahütte (1567m), eventuale salita al Ferlacher Spitze (1739), Kopein (835m) Ambiente: L’escursione proposta raggiunge la cima più alta delle Karavanke occidentali e comprende un tratto dell’ ”Alta Via delle Karavanke”, catena montuosa che si estende per ben 120 km, formando un confine naturale tra Austria e Slovenia. Devono probabilmente il loro nome alla caratteristica direzione dei monti e delle valli che si susseguono come una carovana (Karavanke = catena di monti). Dividevano, già nei secoli passati, le due regioni della Carinzia a nord e della Carniola a sud. Attualmente i due territori, attraversati rispettivamente dai fiumi Drava e Sava, sono collegati da tunnel stradali e ferroviari. Nelle Karavanke si trovano pendii ripidi, cime panoramiche, pascoli, valli, gole, cascate, e grandi varietà di specie vegetali e animali: una natura ricca e un patrimonio culturale ben conservato. Le Karavanke fanno parte della rete Natura 2000, grazie alla peculiarità della flora e della fauna in una natura ancora intatta. I sentieri segnati offrono una vasta gamma di possibilità sia per camminate facili che impegnative e d’inverno sono frequentati anche da tanti scialpinisti. Nei pressi di Kopein, panoramica località rurale afferente al comune di Ledenitzen, esiste anche un percorso specifico per mountainbike.
