parking below Weinebene - Grillitschhütte (Golica/Koralpe)

Access to starting point:
A) Over one of the border crossings with Austria (Korensko sedlo, Karawanks Tunnel, mountain pass Ljubelj, mountain pass Jezerski vrh, mountain pass Pavličev vrh) we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving on the so-called south highway towards Graz. On the mentioned highway we drive to the settlement Volšperk / Wolfsberg, where we leave the highway, and when we get to the old or regional road we continue driving in the direction of the settlement St. Gertraud. In the settlement St. Gertraud we notice signs for the alpine pass Weinebene, which point us to the right on an ascending asphalt road. On the mentioned road, we drive approximately 18 km, and then we get to the mentioned alpine pass, which is situated at an altitude of 1668 m. From the pass, we start descending towards the settlement Lonč / Deutschlandsberg, and only a little after the left hairpin turn we park on a marked parking lot on the right side of the road.
B) Over the border crossing Holmec or Vič we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving towards the settlement Volšperk / Wolfsberg. From Volšperk we continue on a regional road in the direction of the settlement St. Gertraud. In the settlement St. Gertraud we notice signs for the alpine pass Weinebene, which point us to the right on an ascending asphalt road. On the mentioned road, we drive approximately 18 km, and then we get to the mentioned alpine pass, which is situated at an altitude of 1668 m. From the pass, we start descending towards the settlement Lonč / Deutschlandsberg, and only a little after the left hairpin turn we park on a marked parking lot on the right side of the road.
C) First, we drive to Maribor, and then we continue driving on the highway towards the border crossing Šentilj and ahead on Austrian highway towards Graz. We leave the mentioned highway at the exit for the settlement Lipnica / Leibnitz. When we leave the highway at the roundabout, we continue in the direction of the settlement Lipnica / Leibnitz and further we drive south from the village Gralla, which is today already some kind of peripheral part of Lipnica. Further, the road leads us past the industrial or commercial zone, and at the roundabout by the Hofer store we continue "straight" on the second exit in the direction of the settlement Lonč / Deutschlandsberg. Further, we drive for some time on the main road, and after the village Graschach we turn right in the direction of the settlement Lonč / Deutschlandsberg. In a roundabout right next to the settlement Lonč / Deutschlandsberg, we continue "straight" in the direction of the alpine pass Weinebene. From here on, the road starts ascending steeper, and we follow it approximately 17 km, and then still before the right hairpin turn, on the left side we notice a parking lot, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a side road in the direction of the mountain hut Grünangerhütte and mountain pasture Bärentalalm, and the side road crosses slopes below the main road. Asphalt on the side road quickly ends and we get to a crossing, where we continue on the upper right road (on a slightly left road leads one of the paths to the hut Grünangerhütte). Next follows some ascent, and from the right joins also the path from the parking lot Reihkehre - Glashütten, which is situated above the hairpin turn mentioned in the access to the starting point. Follows some more crossing, mostly in a gentle ascent, and then the path once again splits. To the left another path branches off towards the before-mentioned hut, and we go slightly right and continue on the macadam road, which ascends a little steeper, and on it in a few minutes we get to the hut Bärentalhütte.
We bypass the hut on the right side, and on the road we continue to the nearby crossing at the grazing fence, where we go slightly right (straight Grünangerhütte and Steinmandl). A little further, we go even a little more to the right, and then through the part of the mountain pasture Bärentalalm we ascend to the edge of the forest, where the path steeply ascends through a belt of forest. After a few minutes, the steepness decreases, and the path turns a little to the left and on the saddle between the peaks Hühnerstütze and Moschkogel reaches the road which leads from the pass Weinebene.
On the saddle, where there is a marked crossing, we arrive from Austrian Steiermark to Austrian Kärnten, and we continue slightly right (slightly left Gr. Speikkogel - panoramic path, straight Gr. Speikkogel - path past the cross Schäferkreuz and hut Großhöllerhütte, sharply right pass Weinebene) on the road, which starts descending towards the nearby mountain hut Grillitschhütte. A little lower the road turns sharply to the left, and after some 10 steps of further walking it brings us to the hut Grillitschhütte.
Starting point - Bärentalhütte 0:35, Bärentalhütte - Grillitschhütte 0:40.
