Hebalm (Gasthaus Zur Rehbockhütte) - Freiländerhütte

Access to starting point:
a) Highway MP Šentilj - Graz we leave at exit Lebring, and then we follow the signs for Lonč / Deutschlandsberg. When we arrive in Lonč, we follow the signs for Hebalm, and then we start visibly ascending towards the Hebalm ski slope. When we reach the Kluglifte Hebalm ski lift, on the right by the inn Gasthaus Zur Rehbockhütte, we park on a larger macadam parking lot, or we can also park on the parking lot on the other side of the road.
b) From the highway Klagenfurt am Wörthersee - Graz, we take the exit Packsattel, and then we follow the signs for Klagenfurt, Deutschlandsberg, and Preitenegg. Next follows some descent, and then we turn left from the main road towards Lonč and Hebalm. Further on, we start ascending again and higher up we reach the Hebalm ski slope, but we continue driving a little further, so we already start descending towards Lonč. When we arrive at the inn Gasthaus Zur Rehbockhütte, we turn right or left and park on a large parking lot opposite the inn or by the inn.

Path description:
From the parking lot by the inn Gasthaus Zur Rehbockhütte, we head onto the road towards the cottage Freiländerhütte, initially walking northeast. From the road, we soon turn slightly left onto a parallel mountain path, and after a small self-service bar, we return to the road, along which we gently ascend. Further on, from two smaller crossroads, we continue straight, and when we notice the cottage Freiländerhütte on the right, we turn right onto a side road, reaching the mentioned cottage after 100 meters of additional walking.
