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, we first cross the main road, and then we go on a narrower asphalt road which branches off at boarding house »Elizabeth«. The road at first descends a little past the parking lots, and then turns a little to the right. We follow the signs for Schoberriegel. Asphalt then ends and we still follow the macadam road which brings us to a crossroad with signposts. We continue in the direction of Schoberriegel, Eisenhut. The worse road brings us to the cottage Sonnalmhütte, which is situated by the ski slope. From the cottage, we continue on the road following the signs Eisenhut. After few turns, when we come to the upper station of the cableway, we leave the road and we go right on a footpath. The path at first runs through a thin forest and occasionally a nice view opens up towards the lake Turrachsee, which is situated on the mountain pass Turracher Höhe. When we come on the ridge path turns slightly to the left and slowly even the last trees vanish. After that, the path still runs on the ridge and it brings us on a grassy peak Schoberriegel.
From the top on a wide ridge we descend to a saddle, where there are also signposts. We follow the signs Gruft. After approximately ten minutes of walking from the saddle we get to a wide grassy ridge to the summit of Gruft on which there is also a crossing.
We continue in the direction of Kaserhöhe and Bretthöhe. First, we again descend a little to a saddle Weitentalsattel. From the saddle, we continue by the fence in the direction of Kaserhöhe and Bretthöhe. The path is ascending on grassy slopes and again brings us to a crossing. We continue in the direction of Kaserhöhe. After a short ascent, we come on a grassy peak Kaserhöhe on which there is also a cross.
