Waldrast - Großer Speikkogel (Koralpe)

Access to the starting point:
a) Take one of the border crossings with Austria (Korensko sedlo, Karawanks tunnel, Ljubelj Pass, Jezerski vrh Pass, Pavličev vrh Pass) into Austria and then continue along the so-called southern motorway towards Graz/Graz. Follow the motorway to Wolfsberg, where you leave the motorway, and then, when you reach the roundabout with the old or regional road, continue driving "straight ahead" in the direction of the Koralpe ski resort. We continue through St. Stefan, Maildorf and Rieding, and follow the ascending road to the large parking lot at the Koralpe ski centre.
b) Cross the Holmec or Vič border crossing into Austria and continue driving towards Wolfsberg, where signs for Koralpe point you to the right. Continue through St. Stefan, Maildorf and Rieding, and follow the ascending road to the large parking lot at the Koralpe ski centre.

Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, the signs for Koralpenhaus direct you to a footpath that ascends the left-hand edge of the ski slope (crossing is forbidden when the ski slope is in operation). After a few minutes' ascent, the moderately steep path leads to an unmarked crossroads, where you continue along the left-hand slope. The path, which then follows the ski slope for some time, leads us higher up to the asphalted road. Here, the ascent continues to the right along the ascending road, which, with increasingly beautiful views, quickly leads to the mountain lodge.
From Koralpenhaus we continue along the road which, after two sharp bends, soon leads us to two radar stations at the top. The radar track passes by on the right and then the road ends. There are only a few steps of ascent to the cross on the left.
