Access to starting point:
Highway Maribor-Graz-Salzburg (A9) we leave at the exit Übelbach and then at the crossroad we turn left.
We drive through the settlement Übelbach. When we notice the store on the right side of the road, we turn left onto the road heading downwards.
We cross the railway passage, and at the end of the street, we turn right and arrive at the parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we return on the road back up to the crossroad from where we drove.
We cross the road and go left over a small bridge. After the bridge, we continue right on a narrower street upwards.
Before the street ends or transitions into a macadam forest road (cross on the right side of the road), we turn right and then immediately left onto a well-trodden footpath.
The footpath after 250m joins the macadam road. After a few meters, a turn follows where we leave the road and continue to the right. We slowly gain altitude and admire the view of the settlement Übelbach and the surrounding hills.
When the footpath leads us back into the forest, we watch for the start of a footpath to the left, heading upward into the forest. We follow the steep footpath upward, crossing the forest road a few times.
Near the peak, the footpath brings us to a larger crossing, where the road leads right slightly downwards towards a nearby hunting observatory, but we continue on the footpath left upwards.
After walking about ten meters at the crossing, we reach a footpath that branches off to the right. We follow this footpath to the top.
