Frohnleiten - Hochtrötsch (Trötsch)

Access to starting point:
We leave highway Maribor-Graz-Salzburg (A9) after few shorter tunnels outside Graz and we continue right on the highway in the direction of Wien-Bruck/Muhr-Peggau.
We leave the highway at exit Frohnleiten and we turn left. After the underpass, we turn right on the parking lot of the railway station, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go by the road upwards through the underpass. After the underpass the signpost soon points on the other side of the road.
We cross the road and we continue on a grassy path by the fence upwards. In between we enjoy a nice view towards the town Frohnleiten and Gschwendtberg. We get to a larger meadow. A grassy path among trees brings us to the road which we follow to the turn-off, where we leave the road and we continue on the path through the forest.
The path higher again joins the road which we follow to the nearby farm.
At the farm the trail blaze points us left through a meadow upwards. We get to a macadam road, where we go left, and after some time right towards the nearby house.
At the house the trail blaze points us into the forest, where we follow trail blazes. At first on a wider forest path. Then we come to a macadam road, and after a time the path again leads into the forest. We get to a panoramic meadow, where we stick to the left. We go past the building. Then the path again leads back into the forest.
The path becomes steeper. For the last time we for a short time get on the forest road. We continue left to some sort of saddle below the summit. We go right upwards. Next follows the most steep part of the path which brings us straight to the top. The path is easy and very well-marked. I recommend, that we go on this path in dry condition, because the path mainly in the last part is very steep.
