Access to starting point:
From highway Beljak / Villach - Salzburg we go to the exit St. Michael and follow the road ahead to the settlement Tamsweg, where we turn left in the direction of the settlement Sauerfeld (to here possible also from town Murau). In Sauerfeld we notice signs for lake Prebersee, which point us on an ascending road which we follow to a large parking lot before the lake.
Path description:
By main road near the parking lot we will notice signposts, which point us on a macadam mountain road in the direction of Preber, Roteck. After few ten meters of walking, we come to a crossroad, where we continue straight on the road which is closed with a gate. At the right turn then blazes point us on a footpath through the forest. After a short ascent, the path again brings us on the road which we short time follow, after that signposts again point us on a footpath. The path later twice for a short time joins the mountain road and then follows an ascent towards the mountain hut. If somewhere on the path we miss blazes we can also follow mountain road which also runs to the mountain hut Preberhalterhütte.
Little above the mountain hut captions on rock point us to the left (right runs direct path towards the summit Preber). The path is then ascending on grassy slopes towards the west and then slowly turns right into a valley Preberkessel between the peaks Preber (2740 meters) and Golzhöhe (2580m). On grassy slopes by the path in the summer time also livestock is grazing. When the path brings us to a crossroad we continue straight through the valley, and the path branches off to the left towards the summit Lachriegel (2125 meters) and into a valley towards the settlement Lessach. The path through the valley Preberkessel isn't strenuous and is only slightly ascending and offers nice views on surrounding peaks. Towards the end of the valley path finally ascends a little and it brings us to a crossing. We go left towards the saddle Mühlbachtörl (2478 meters), and right leads the path over southern slopes of the peak Preber towards the mountain hut Grazerhütte. After a short ascent, we come on the mentioned saddle between the peaks Preber and Roteck. We go left (right leads a marked path on Preber). On the saddle, we will also notice signposts and warning signs on which there is written, that the path on Roteck is dangerous for a fall and appropriate only for experienced, that don't have problems with vertigo. After a short ascent from the saddle we soon enter the climbing part of the path, where about difficulty additionally remind also a memorial plates by the path. At the beginning we first have to climb over some steep rocks and then the path turns to the right and on a narrow footpath crosses steep slopes towards the north. The path then turns to the left and is ascending on the north side towards the ridge. When we reach the ridge, we descend through a narrow passage to south side. On the south side of the ridge we then cross precipitous slopes towards the west. The path then leads us through some steep gullies and narrow quite exposed ledges. At the end path turns slightly to the right and then follows a shorter steep ascent towards the summit.
The entire path from the saddle Mühlbachtörl towards the summit is quite exposed and isn't secured.
