Access to the starting point:
Cross the Korensko sedlo border crossing and descend into Austria, then turn left at the first major crossroads towards Podklošter/Arnoldstein. In the village you will come to a roundabout, where you continue to the right in the direction of "Hermagor". Continue along the wide road that leads through the Zilj valley. At Mauthen, turn left towards the Plockenpass and then, after a few 100 m, turn right towards the Lesachtal valley. A short distance beyond the village of Untertilliach (at the second bus stop), the initially asphalted road branches off to the left and continues along a narrow and rather winding road. The road then crosses a bridge, after which a wide dirt road joins on the left. Continue straight on for about 50 m, then you will come to the next unmarked crossroads, where you turn right along the lower "main" road, which leads you to a marked crossroads just a few metres further on. This time continue left towards "Hochspitz in Oberalm" on the deteriorating road, which leads you higher up to an unmarked junction in front of which there is a small parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road to the Gartlhütte hut at 1600m. From the hut, continue along the mountain road which leads south along the valley and brings you close to the Winkler Bach stream. The road then turns to the right and climbs for a long time in switchbacks upwards. The road climbs mostly on grassy slopes, only occasionally leading into a sparse forest. In summer, cattle graze on the grassy slopes. This road is then followed all the way to the mountain pasture Oberalm at an altitude of 2160m.
