The Mirnock is a 2110 m above sea level. A. high, isolated mountain range in Carinthia . It is part of the Nockberge and lies between the lower Drautal in the southwest, Millstätter See in the west, the Umgebung valley in the northeast and the Krastal in the southeast. The town of Radenthein borders in the north , the formerly independent municipality of Mooswald lay entirely on the broad west or south-west flank of the mountain. The ridge of the mountain range also has two smaller elevations, the Palnock ( 1901 m ) and the Amberger Alpe ( 1831 m ). Remarkable is the great prominence of the Mirnock with a notch height of 1343 meters.
Verditz ski area
The Verditz ski area was located in the area of the Amberger Alm . A chairlift system with three sections led from the region valley ( 668 m ) to the crest height ( 1832 m ). About in the middle of the first chair lift you could get off a summer toboggan run . In 2012 the mountain railways stopped operating.
Trivia
The Mirnockriese , a legendary figure carved in stone, is the landmark of the municipality of Feld am See . According to legend, the giant kidnapped a beautiful fisherman's daughter from the valley. Their father outwitted the kidnapper by making him drunk and freed his daughter. Angry about this loss, the giant shook the summit of the Mirnock until it broke and fell into the valley. The scree avalanche divided the large lake there into two smaller ones, namely the Afritzer See and the Brennsee . That is why the Mirnock, which is actually quite high, no longer has a pronounced peak, but only a wide crest.
