Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the right side of the lake and initially walk on a walking path that runs alongside the lake and the road. Soon the first path branches off to the right from our path towards Sveti Lenart / St. Leonhard, and we continue along the edge of the asphalt road that leads near the lake. A little further, we pass by the second branching path towards the mentioned church, and eventually we cross from Steiermark to Kärnten, where the road first ascends slightly, then descends to the cottage Jausenstation Charly's Hütte.
Behind the cottage, the road turns right and then continues towards the northwest. We continue a few meters from the lake, and occasionally a beautiful view opens up of the lake, which narrows more and more on the northern side. After a few more minutes of walking, we arrive at the church, which is situated on the northern side of the lake.
The starting point - Charly's Hütte 0:45, Charly's Hütte - St. Vinzenz 0:30.
