Klek (Slovenia)

Klek (Slovenia)

Klek (1754 m), also known as "Petelin" to locals from the villages on the Slovene side below its summit, ("Hahnkogel" in German) is a peak in the Western Karawanken Alps, between Golica/Kahlkogel to the east and Dovška Baba/Frauenkogel to the west. It lies on the border between Slovenia and Austria above the town of Jesenice. On the northern side towards Carinthia the peak itself is very steep and mostly composed of brittle rock and scree and is accessible from Rosenbach on the Austrian side only via the Rožca saddle. Its northern slopes are famous, due to their inaccesibility, for its alpine flora, particularly the protected Edelweiss. It is more easily accessible from the Slovene side from Planina pod Golico.

The Karawanken Tunnel crosses the border between Austria and Slovenia almost right underneath Klek.
