Access to starting point:
From Kärnten: at first we drive to the settlement Feldkirchen, from where we follow a well-marked road to mountain pass Turracher Höhe.
From steiermark and Salzburg we drive to valley of river Mur and we follow the road to the settlement Predlitz (settlement is located west from the settlement Murau). And in Predlitz we leave the main road and we continue driving towards the mountain pass Turracher Höhe.
Path description:
From the parking lot on Turracher Höhe we go on the path in the direction of the summit Kornock and Rinsennock. After few minutes of walking on the road, we come to a crossing next to the summer sledding track. At the crossing there are signposts, where it says Kornock and Rinsennock left and right (a possible circular path). If we decided for the ascent on a little more northern path, we continue right on the road which through the underpass crosses the sledding track and then turns left upwards. The slightly ascending road soon comes out of the forest on an ample grazing area. Ahead the road slowly changes into an increasingly steep cart track which higher brings us to the next crossing. We again continue right (ascent to the summit is possible also to the left) and the cart track which is ascending on grassy slopes we follow to a concrete building (transformer) on which we already from far see blazes. Further, the path turns a little left and after a short ascent, it brings us on the upper slope of Kornock. Next follows an ascent on a panoramic grassy slope to the mentioned summit, in the middle of which we see the upper station of the cableway. After the cableway the path narrows and it brings us to information boards on the top.
