Ferienheim - Lamingalm

Access to starting point:
From MP Šentilj we continue driving on the motorway towards Graz / Graz and further towards Linz and Salzburg. We soon leave the A9 motorway and continue driving slightly right in the direction of Vienna / Wien and continue driving on the expressway S35. Near the town of Bruck an der Mur we leave the S35 road and follow the signs for the mentioned town. From the nearby roundabout we take the first exit and follow the signs for the town of Kapfenberg. Still in the town of Bruck an der Mur, from the traffic-lighted intersection we turn left in the direction of Trägoß and St. Katharein and the tourist signs for Zeleno jezero / Grüner See. Approximately 23 km of driving follows and we arrive at the settlement of Oberort, where from the intersection in the middle of the settlement we turn left. Further we drive past a larger parking lot and the inn Seehof beim Grünen See, and we bypass Zeleno jezero on the left side. At the lake the road starts to ascend more steeply, higher up it becomes a gravel road, a little further on it levels out and then gradually starts to descend. The path further leads us past the intermittent lake Pfarrerlacke, and then we already arrive at the marked parking lot at Ferienheim, where the described path begins.

WARNING: The entire area around Zeleno jezero (Grüner See) and the Jassing valley falls under a single paid parking zone. The parking fee must be paid before continuing the route, namely at the first central parking lot (Parkplatz Grüner See).

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head left onto a side road, marked with signs for the Lamingsattel saddle, Lamingalm mountain pasture, and Leobner Hütte mountain hut. Nearby, we bypass the holiday house on the right side, and behind the house, we turn right, where a narrower gravel road leads us past a football field. Behind the football field, we turn left (right leads to Pfarreralm, also an option for a starting point) and continue along an initially gently sloping gravel road. The path ahead leads us along a forest road, closed to public traffic, which begins to moderately ascend. A little further, when the road turns right, we leave it and continue straight onto a footpath that runs parallel to the Laming stream. Higher up, we return to the road but quickly leave it again, continuing along a marked shortcut. When we rejoin the road, we reach it at a small crossroad, then proceed along a marked road that soon leads us to a hunting cottage, which we bypass on the left side.
Above the cottage, the road turns into a cart track, and the path higher up crosses the gravel road a few more times. Next, we cross a torrent stream, then reach the Lamingalm mountain pasture, where a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains opens up.
The description and pictures refer to the condition in October 2024.
