Access to starting point:
Exit the A2 motorway Graz / Vienna at the Aspang Markt exit and follow the road to the mentioned place. When arriving in the town, follow the signs for the Mariensee settlement; at the end of the town, go straight towards St. Corona am Wechsel. Subsequently, the ascent becomes steeper, but follow the road to the centre of the St. Corona am Wechsel settlement, where we park at one of the parking lots.
Path description:
From the parking lot walk to the church of St. Corona, then go left onto the side road, along which there are signposts for Hochwechsel, Kampsteiner Schwaig, Herrgottschnitzerhütte and numerous other signs. Initially ascend past a few houses, at a small cross go right and continue following the signs for Hochwechsel. The path further crosses the ski slope and summer toboggan run track, then forks.
Slightly left from the road a path branches off leading past the Orthof inn, follow the path signs along the forest road and continue along the road, from which soon to the right another path branches off towards the Odenhof guesthouse.
Continue along the forest road which moderately ascends, higher up at a few junctions follow the signs for Kampsteiner Schwaig.
Higher up move from the road to the cart track, where the path leads past the "starting stone" Antrittsstein (St. Wolfgangs Fußabdruck), after which soon leave the forest. From here follows some more ascent through the forest, then the forest ends and across the meadow section quickly reach the Kampsteiner Schwaig hut.
Bypass the hut on the left side and follow the signs for Hochwechsel, the path ahead first gently ascends along the meadow area surrounded by sparse forest. When the path returns to the forest, bypass the Frauenalpe peak on the right side and begin descending westwards. Lower down the path stops descending, when ascending again reach the junction at the Schwarzer Herrgot cross, from where continue left towards Feistritzer Schwaig (straight Arabichl).
This is followed by approx. 15 minutes of gentle ascent to the left and the cart track leads to the Feistritzer Schwaig alpine hut.
