Hermagor - Malenthein Ruin

A short path through forest and over a meadow and we already stand before the huge lime tree, whose leafy canopy bends protectively over the Anna Chapel. Only wall remains are left of the once mighty Malenthein Castle, but the original extent can still be guessed.

Equipment

Normal hiking equipment.

Directions

From the South Motorway A2, exit Hermagor, continue on the B111 to Hermagor. In Hermagor, along the main street (one-way street) - towards the catholic church and then further to the shooting range park (parking lot).

A first glimpse

Some impressions of the tour

Directions

From car park no. 2 in Hermagor on the main road, we walk into Lindengasse, then cross the Weißensee main road next to the new primary school at the wayside shrine and climb uphill approx. 15 m east of the chapel next to the road on an unmarked, initially steep, narrow path. Then you also cross a forest road. We soon reach a meadow, which we cross in a southerly direction. In the forest on the grassy forest path, first keeping left, then after approx. 50 metres uphill to the right and we are in front of the private Anna Chapel, next to which there is a mighty lime tree. From there, head W in a few minutes to the Malenthein ruins, whose ancient walls take our imagination back to the Middle Ages. Entering the walls is dangerous. You can descend past the Annenkapelle chapel to Kühweg in a southerly direction and then return to the starting point after the main road or return along the ascent path.
