Teichalm (Teichalmsee) - Zum Guten Hirten

Access to starting point:
From the border crossing Šentilj we continue driving on the motorway towards Graz and further towards Linz and Salzburg. We soon leave motorway A9 and continue driving slightly to the right in the direction towards Vienna / Wien and continue driving on the fast road S35. We leave the mentioned fast road at the exit for Mixnitz, and then from the roundabout we take the exit in the direction of Teichalm. We also continue to follow the signs for Teichalm. At the end of the settlement St. Erhard we once again turn right towards Teichalm, and then we begin to ascend steeply. When we reach the alpine pasture Breitalm we gradually begin to descend, and we follow the road to the parking lot at lake Teichalmsee.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the inn Almgasthof Zum Teichwirt, where we notice the first yellow hiking signposts. We head to the path in the direction of the summit Hochlantsch, and behind the buildings the path splits.
We choose the slightly left path in the direction of the summit Rote Wand and hut Guter Hirte and gorge Bärenschützklamm. The path ahead first leads us through a larger meadow, then passes into the forest, where it gently descends beside the stream Mixnitzbach. Further on there follow a few smaller junctions, where we follow the signs for hut Zum Guter Hirte, and the path then gradually moves away from the stream and begins to ascend gently. After some time, the path once again splits, and we choose the path that continues straight (right Schüsserlbrunn and Hochlantsch). The path ahead gently ascends for a few more minutes, then begins to descend and brings us past a cross to the hut Zum Guter Hirte.
