Access to starting point:
From Dravograd over the border crossing Vič we drive to St. Andre. We follow the road ahead to town Wolfsberg, where signs for Koralpe point us to the right. Further, we drive through St. Stefan, Maildorf and Rieding to a large parking lot at the ski center Koralpe.
Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, we notice signposts for Wasserfall and Großhöllerhütte, which point us to the left on the road which is closed with the gate. The road then immediately turns right and with few gentle ascents and descents after approximately half an hour of walking, it brings us to a crossroad, where we continue in the direction of Großhöllerhütte. Also in the next crossroads, we follow the road in the same direction, until it turns into a footpath. At the spot, where the road ends there is also the next crossing, where we have two options to continue. We choose the right path which leads us by the stream upwards. A little higher we cross the mentioned stream and we step on island on which we then walk few minutes. The path ahead over a small bridge again passes on the right side of the stream (left bank) and starts ascending steeper. When the steepness decreases we come to the next crossing, where we continue left (right Koralpenhaus). After additional few steps, we again over a small bridge cross the stream. Here, the path branches off to the left downwards towards the waterfall to which we have only two minutes of walking.
