Access to starting point:
From the border crossing Šentilj we continue driving on the highway towards Graz / Graz and further towards Linz and Salzburg. We soon leave highway A9 and continue driving slightly right in the direction of Vienna / Wien, proceeding along the expressway S35. Near the settlement Bruck an der Mur, we reach highway S16 and follow it in the direction of Vienna / Wien. A little further beyond the tunnel, we leave the highway and take the exit for Kapfenberg, then follow the signs for the mentioned town. We soon reach the main road 116, and from the nearby intersection, we turn slightly right toward the settlements Thörl and Mariazzel. In the settlement Thörl we continue on the main road towards the settlement Mariazzel, driving along it to the proximity of the settlement Aflenz Kurort, where we turn left towards the center of the settlement, and at the crossroad there are also signs for the mountain pasture Bürgeralm. Driving through the settlement follows next, and from the upper part of the settlement we turn left onto the street Badstraße. On a narrow road we quickly reach the pool, and we drive about 50 meters further to a macadam parking lot, which is situated at the edge of the forest.
Route description:
By the parking lot we notice signs for guesthouse Pierergut, which point us onto a cart track that starts ascending through the forest. The path initially leads past a children's playground, then at the second zigzag brings us to a crossing.
We continue slightly to the right towards guesthouse Pierergut and begin ascending along a forest footpath. Higher up, a footpath from the lower cableway station on Bürgeralm joins from the right, but we continue left and, after a few minutes, reach an asphalt road, which we follow to the left. From a nearby crossroad, we turn right and quickly walk to the inn Wirtshaus Pierergut, where a beautiful view opens towards the valley and surrounding mountains.
The description and pictures refer to the condition in October 2024.
