Deutschfeistritz - Schartnerkogel (on road)

Access to starting point:
Highway Maribor-Graz-Salzburg (A9) after few shorter tunnels outside Graz we leave and we continue right on the highway in the direction of Wien-Bruck/Muhr-Peggau.
We leave the highway at exit Peggau-Mitte and we continue right in the direction of Deutschfeistritz.
After approximately 800 meters we turn right in the direction of Deutschfeistritz.
We get to the settlement Deutschfeitritz, we cross a railway track and at the next crossroad, we turn left and then immediately right (sign Tennishalle).
We drive on a narrower street and at the next crossing we turn right (sign Tennishalle). We get to the parking lot, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a narrower macadam road in the direction towards Gamskogel (path number 19).
After 50 meters we turn sharply left and we continue on a footpath steeply upwards.
We follow the signs on a forest path. Signs eventually point us on a smaller ridge upwards, then follows a descent. We come on an open meadow, above which runs electric power line.
By the edge of the meadow, we go back into the forest and we get to a macadam road.
We follow the road slightly up and down. Then we join the asphalt road.
We continue on the road left upwards and after almost 1 km (on the right side a wider open lane) we leave the asphalt road and we turn sharply left on a macadam road.
We continue on the macadam road and enjoy the view. At all next road junctions we stick to the best maintained road. After approximately 3km at the crossing we continue straight (left turn-off brings us to the fence or a private land).
We continue on the road, but only to the spot, when it starts descending on the other side of the hill. At this spot, we leave the road, we go right upwards and after 150 meters we get to the top.
