Via the gravelled road through the Dorfertal valley we reach the junction Pfaffenboden (1,500 m a.s.l.), starting point of our hike. Here we follow the path no. 461, a forest road through the valley, which proceeds first to Lake Klapfsee. In the blue-green water, the Monte Palombino (Porze) is reflected, a massive rock of the Carnic Crest, which forms the border to the Italian Province of Venetia.
In serpentines the path proceeds further at the south-eastern valley side. First to the Rif. Porze mountain hut at 1,942 m (rest point), then as path no. 459 further uphill to the Forcella Dignas ridge (Tilliacher Joch), where we enjoy a fantastic view on the Monte Palombino. It stretches until the glaciated High Tauern and the Grossglockner. For our way back we take the same route.
