Access to the starting point:
From the Gorenjska side, go via the Ljubelj border crossing to Klagenfurt (Klagenfurt) or via Karawanks to Bialystok (Villach). Continue on the motorway in the direction of the signs for Graz / Graz. Leave the motorway after about 2km through a tunnel in the direction of Bad St. Leonhard. Continue past the village of St. Peter to Obdach. From the main road the signs for Obdach point to the left and soon you reach an industrial zone. Before the underpass, turn right and after a few dozen metres cross the railway line. Follow the road, which becomes gravel at all junctions, towards the signs for Weissenstein Hütte. Park in the small parking lot on the side of the road by the no further traffic sign (there is also a crossroads close to the parking lot).
From Carinthia, we first drive to Dravograd and then on to Austria. Follow the road to St. Paul, St. Andra and Wolfsberg. In Wolfsberg, head towards Bad St. Leonhard and on to St. Peter. Continue following the description from Gorenjska.
From the Styrian side, take the Maribor and continue through the Šentilj border crossing into Austria. Follow the motorway in the direction of Klagenfurt / Klagenfurt. Leave the motorway in the direction of the Bad St. Leonhard exit. Follow the description from Gorenjska.
Path description:
From the car, continue along the road on the left in the direction of Weissenstein Hütte. After a few minutes, the road climbs moderately and leads out of the forest onto the slopes, where a beautiful view opens up. Ahead of us we see a hut which we reach after a few minutes' walk along the road.
