Drive to Irschen (Austria). The fastest way to Irschen is via the motorway to Spittal and then along the regional road past the villages of Lendorf, Greifenburg and Dellach im Drautal all the way to Irschen. In Irschen, follow the signs for Leppner Alm. The steep road winds along the steep scenic slope past houses, then turns into the forest. The road is macadam in the final section, until after a few kilometers you reach the destination at the parking lot below the hut or guesthouse Bergheimat (Leppner Alm).
Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the macadam road to the information tables and cross the small bridge. Immediately after the bridge, turn left onto the footpath, which steeply ascends past the signposts. After a few minutes, the path joins the road, where the signpost directs left. Along the macadam road, you soon reach houses, behind which at the signposts turn right. The path then ascends in steeper sections through the forest. Soon it reaches a pasture and skirts the hut, after which turn right. The path then ascends and soon merges with the cart track. Before the barrier, the path branches off left. In the continuation, the path crosses several springs and numerous pasture areas. Finally, the signposts a minute before the hut direct right (left is the Unteralmhütte hut, one minute's walk away).
The path is scenic in the continuation, ascending and crossing a spring. Along the path there are some luxurious wooden loungers. In short, after 45 minutes from the Unteralmhütte hut, the path from Ochsnerhütte joins. Here keep left towards Lamnitzsee. Soon another stream is crossed, then the path becomes steeper and proceeds towards Scharnik mountain. After 30 minutes from the last signposts, turn left. This is followed by 15 minutes of scenic walking to the summit, which offers wonderful views of the surroundings. It is recommended to also visit Lamnitz Lake (Lamnitzsee), which is less than 100 meters below the summit.
