Teichalm (Teichalmsee) - Zachenkreuz

Access to starting point:
From the border crossing Šentilj we continue driving on the highway towards Gradec / Graz and forward towards Linz and Salzburg. Highway A9 we soon leave and we continue driving slightly right in the direction towards Dunaj / Wien and we continue driving on the highway S35. The mention we leave the highway at exit for Mixnitz, and then at the roundabout we go to the exit in the direction of Teichalm. Further, we still follow the signs for Teichalm. At the end of the settlement St. Erhard we once again turn right towards Teichalm, and then we start ascending steeply. When we reach the mountain pasture Breitalm we gradually start descending, and we follow the road to the parking lot at the lake Teichalmsee.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the inn Almgasthof Zum Teichwirt, where we notice the first yellow hiking signposts. We go on the path in the direction of the summit Hochlantsch, and behind the buildings the path splits.
We choose the slightly right path in the direction of the summit Hochlantsch (slightly left - Rote Wand, Schüsserlbrunn, Guter Hirte...), where in a gentle ascent to the edge of the forest we continue on a grassy cart track. By the edge of the forest, signs point us to the left on a footpath which ascends at first by the edge of the forest and then through the forest. Higher, we cross few cart tracks and the forest roads, and the path occasionally leads also through some panoramic parts, which are higher more frequent. Even a little further, we reach a larger grassy slope, from which a nice view opens up mainly towards the south.
Here the marked path on Hochlantsch turns a little to the left, and we stick to direction by the ridge and in few minutes we reach the peak with a cross.
