Etrachsee - Rudolf Schober Hütte

Access to starting point:
From the Beljak / Villach - Salzburg highway, take the exit St. Michael and follow the road ahead to the settlement Tamsweg, where we turn left in the direction of the settlement Sauerfeld. We follow this road to the village Seebach (also possible from the town Murau), where signs for Krakaudorf point us to the left. We then follow the signs towards the lake Etrachsee, in front of which we park at the parking lot. The road is closed in winter.

Path description:
From the parking lot at Etrachsee we continue on the road in the direction of the summit Bauleiteck and mountain hut Rudolf Schober Hütte. The path ahead leads us past the mentioned lake, after which we come to some private cottages. We continue on the road, which after a few minutes of walking brings us to a marked path junction. We continue right upward on a cart track, which starts to ascend more steeply. After a short ascent, the path again brings us onto the road, which we follow to the next junction. Here we have two options to continue: to the hut we can ascend on the road (straight ahead) or on a pleasant footpath, which turns left. If we have decided for the 5 minutes shorter footpath, we continue left and then after a few steps right by the stream upwards. A nice path, which leads us over pastures, higher through numerous small bridges crosses the mentioned stream. The path, which in the meantime has already entered the forest, ascends more steeply and brings us to the mountain hut in a few minutes.

Trip can be extended to: Unterer Wildenkarsee ( 35 min) , Oberer Wildenkarsee (1 h) , Bauleiteck (2 h)
