Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving towards Spittal and further towards Lienz (a little after Spittal the highway ends). Further, we drive on a relatively nice and wide road through the Drau valley. In the center of Lienz, at the roundabout, we continue right towards the town of Matrei. From the roundabout, we drive approximately 8 km through the valley along the river Isel, then we turn right towards the town of Oberleibnig. On the ascending road, we then always follow the signs for the mountain hut Hochschoberhütte. The road otherwise ascends most of the time on steep slopes and is quite narrow. In the last part, the asphalt ends and we continue a few more kilometers on a macadam road to the parking lot by the bridge over the stream Leibnitzbach.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue a few more meters on a macadam road which is further closed for traffic, and then signposts direct us to the right onto a footpath. At first, we ascend through the forest on the left side of the stream Leibnitzbach. Later, the path named Eduard Jordan Weg brings us to somewhat flatter grassy terrain where we cross a bridge. Further, the path again ascends somewhat steeper along the stream and brings us to the mountain pasture Leibnitzalm.
On the mountain pasture the path crosses the stream and then joins the mountain road. Further, we walk for some time on the macadam road along the stream, then we come to a junction where the macadam road turns left.
At the junction we continue straight where the signposts along the path direct us. From the junction, we first walk on a wide cart track, which after crossing the stream soon turns into a path. The path here again starts to ascend somewhat steeper and leads us through a short stretch of forest. The path continues along the stream and from the left side a path from the end of the road soon joins us. Further, the path turns somewhat to the right and increasingly beautiful views of the surrounding peaks begin to open up. The path then runs across grassy slopes past a cross, and along the path there are also quite a few benches. When we reach somewhat steeper slopes, the path turns left and then crosses the slopes in ascent all the way to the mountain hut Hochschoberhütte.
