Glashütten - Grünangerhütte (Golica / Koralpe)

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Maribor, then continue on the highway towards the border crossing Šentilj and further on the Austrian highway towards Graz. We leave the mentioned highway at the exit for the settlement Lipnica / Leibnitz. When we exit the highway at the roundabout, we continue in the direction of the settlement Lipnica / Leibnitz and further drive south of the village Gralla, which today is already some kind of peripheral part of Lipnica. Further, the road leads us past the industrial or commercial zone, and at the roundabout by the Hofer store we continue "straight" on the second exit in the direction of the settlement Lonč / Deutschlandsberg. Further, we drive for some time on the main road, then after the village Graschach turn right in the direction of the settlement Lonč / Deutschlandsberg. At the roundabout right next to the settlement Lonč / Deutschlandsberg, we continue "straight" in the direction of the alpine pass Weinebene. From here, the road begins to ascend more steeply, we follow it for about 15 km, then turn left towards the settlement Glashütten. A short descent follows and we arrive at the center of the village, where we park at the parking lot by the Church of the Name of Mary.

Path description:
From the starting point, on the road by which we arrived at the starting point, we return to the first bend, then head onto the marked path in the direction of the hut Grünangerhütte and the summit Großer Speikkogel. Already after a few dozen steps of ascent, we reach a macadam road, which we cross and then continue past a beehive. A light descent follows and we return to the macadam road, then for some time continue directly alongside the road, later gradually moving away from it in a moderate descent. Lower down, over two successive small bridges we cross two streams, then a light traverse ascent follows to a cart track, which we follow briefly to the left, then quickly go right onto the marked path that continues along a fence, the latter above the pasture Mottl.
Some more light descent follows, lower down we also cross the stream Höllgraben, shortly after reaching the stream Schwarze Sulm, where there is a dilapidated and dangerous bridge so we go right and begin ascending along the stream upwards. Higher up we return to the macadam road alongside which we walked at first, and on it via a bridge we cross the stream, on the other side of the bridge we go right and continue the ascent on a worse and fairly steep macadam road. Later we bypass a masonry structure on the right side, shortly after from the ever-worsening road we go left onto the marked footpath, which temporarily ascends more steeply. When a few minutes higher we reach two successive roads, the first we only cross, the second we follow to the left and walk along it for some time. We leave the road at the place where the marks lead us slightly right into the forest, where we immediately cross yet another road, the path then slowly turns to the left direction and quickly brings us to the hut Grünangerhütte.
