Wolayer See

The best-known part of the region lies around the Wolayer See, which contains the finest peaks in the whole group. This is where the massive dark peak of the Hohe Warte (2,780m/9,121ft), the highest point in the Carnic Alps, towers aloft, together with the austere Biegengebirge with its two great buttresses, the Wolayer Kopf (2,470m/8,104ft) and the Seekopf (2,554m/8,380ft), and the Kellerwand (2,769m/9,085ft), rearing its sheer ice-covered rock-faces above the Valentin valley. Most of these mountains, however, are for experienced climbers only.
