Greuth - Große Muschenig (via Hasengraben)

Access to starting point:
A) Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we drive on the highway towards Beljak, which we leave on the first exit. From the point where we left the highway, we follow the signs for Šentjakob v Rožu / Sankt Jakob im Rosental. Further, we drive a few more kilometers on the main road, then only a little after the settlement Podgorje / Maria Elend we turn right into the village Rute / Greuth. Further, we drive on a narrower road (at the crossroads we stick to the slightly right direction), which soon brings us to a narrow underpass under the railway track. Further, we drive past a few more houses, and then at the end of the village we arrive at a smaller crossroad, by which we notice hiking signposts. We park at an appropriate place by the crossroad.
From the toll station at Hrušica to the starting point it is approximately 23 km.
B) Via the Ljubelj border crossing we drive to Austria, and then we drive on the main road to the roundabout before the bridge over the Drava River. In the roundabout, we leave the main road that leads towards Celovec / Klagenfurt and continue driving left (west direction) onto the exit towards Bistrica v Rožu / Feistritz im Rosental. Further, we drive through several smaller settlements, then after the settlement Sveče / Suetschach we pay attention. Only about 3 km after the mentioned settlement, we will leave the main road and continue driving left towards the village Rute / Greuth. Further, we drive through the village on a narrower road (at the crossroads we stick to the slightly right direction), which soon brings us to a narrow underpass under the railway track. Further, we drive past a few more houses, and then at the end of the village we arrive at a smaller crossroad, by which we notice hiking signposts. We park at an appropriate place by the crossroad.
From the entrance to the tunnel to the starting point it is approximately 32 km.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue straight in the direction of Mač / Matschach on the road, which first crosses a bridge over the stream Velika Suha, then ascends gently to moderately. Higher up, we arrive at a forestry turnaround, above which the road splits into several cart tracks.
The left cart track continues towards Mač, the right one ends a bit higher, and we continue straight on the forest road. The road splits into two parts a little further on, and we choose the right one, which gradually starts to ascend more steeply. We continue on the road, which ascends along Hasengraben, which it also crosses higher up.
Further on, the road, along which we notice a few rare blazes, passes onto the eastern slopes of Veliki Mošenik / Große Muschenig and starts ascending in long serpentines. After an hour and a half of walking from the starting point, we arrive at a small saddle, where there is a road junction.
From the saddle, we continue right onto a wide cart track in the direction of "Aussichtspunkt". We quickly leave the wide cart track, as the blazes direct us slightly right onto a worse cart track, which starts ascending straight up the slope. We then follow this path, which continues through the forest, all the way to the vegetated summit, which we recognize by the sign on the tree G.M. 2021 m.
