Surname

The name "Ferlacher Horn" was introduced in 1909 by the German and Austrian Alpine Association as the best possible Germanization [of the Slovenian name] , sometimes literally a little different, but adapted to the German language feeling, along with numerous other new German field names for the high chair and Koschuta area of ​​the Karawanken. The Slovenian form of the name Grlovec is based on grlo "throat, throat" and refers to the steep northern slopes.

Ascents

The Südalpenweg leads in an east-west direction over the summit.

A multitude of climbs is given to the hiker. What they all have in common is that they are generally harmless, but quite tedious. Due to the low summit height and the thick forest, the Ferlacher Horn is also accessible in winter. There are no refuges on the Ferlacher Horn.
