Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving towards Spittal and onwards towards Lienz (the highway ends a little after Spittal). Further, we drive on a relatively nice and wide road through Drau valley. In the center of Lienz, at the roundabout, we continue right towards the settlement Matrei. From the roundabout we drive approximately 8 km through the valley by the river Isel, then we turn right towards the settlement Oberleibnig. On an ascending road we then all the time follow the signs for mountain hut Hochschoberhütte. The road is otherwise most of the time ascending 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 a 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 point us to the right onto a footpath. At first, we are ascending through the forest on the left side of the stream Leibnitzbach. Later, the path named Eduard Jordan Weg brings us to a somewhat gentler grassy terrain where we cross the bridge. Further, the path again ascends a little steeper by the stream and brings us to the mountain pasture Leibnitzalm.
On the mountain pasture the path crosses a stream and then joins the mountain road. Further, we walk for some time on a macadam road along the stream and then we get to a junction, where the macadam road turns left.
At the junction, we continue straight where signposts by the path direct us. From the junction, we at first walk on a wide cart track which, after crossing a stream, soon turns into a footpath. The path here again starts ascending a little steeper and leads us through a short stretch of forest. The path continues to run along the stream and from the left side soon a footpath from the end of the road also joins. Further, the path turns a little to the right and increasingly beautiful views start to open up on surrounding peaks. After that, the path runs on grassy slopes past a cross, and by the path, there are also quite a few benches. When we come to somewhat steeper slopes, the path turns to the left and then in ascent crosses the slopes all the way to the mountain hut Hochschoberhütte.
At the mountain hut, we continue slightly left (towards the north) following the signs »Hochschober über Staniskascharte«. The path at first descends a little on a grassy slope and then crosses a stream. Further, the path again starts ascending and from the path increasingly beautiful views open up on surrounding peaks. The path continues ascending on the southern slopes near the stream and brings us to the lake Schoberlacke, which is situated below the southern slopes of the peak Hochschober.
