Seetalerhütte (Klippitztörl) - Naturfreundehaus (Klippitztörl)

Access to starting point:
a) Over the Ljubelj border crossing we drive into Austria and follow the signs for Klagenfurt am Wörthersee. In Celovec at McDonalds we go right on the south bypass road / Südring, and at the next larger crossroad we go once again right in the direction towards Velikovec / Völkermarkt and Mostič / Brückl. The road towards Velikovec we soon leave because a little after the store Obi we turn right in the direction of highway and Mostič. Further, we go past the store Ikea, where we follow the signs for Mostič and we go past the turn-offs to the highway. When we get to Mostič we follow the signs for Svinec / Eberstein and Hüttenberg. Still before Hüttenberg, more precisely after the settlement Mösel we turn right towards the mountain pass Klippitztörl and settlement Lölling. Further, we start considerably ascending through the valley of the stream Löllingbach, and higher after the settlement Lölling, we gradually go away also from the stream. We follow this road all the way to the Klippitztörl pass, from where we start descending. During the descent, the path leads us past the Naturfreundehaus hut, then we descend to the settlement of Klippitztörl, where the described route begins next to the Seetalerhütte hut.
B) Over the border crossing Jezerski Vrh, Holmec or Vič we drive to Austria, and then we follow the signs for Velikovec / Völkermarkt, and from there we follow the signs for Mostič / Brückl. When we get to Mostič we follow the signs for Svinec / Eberstein and Hüttenberg. Still before Hüttenberg, more precisely after the settlement Mösel we turn right towards the mountain pass Klippitztörl and settlement Lölling. Further, we start considerably ascending through the valley of the stream Löllingbach, and higher after the settlement Lölling, we gradually go away also from the stream. We follow this road all the way to the Klippitztörl pass, from where we start descending. During the descent, the path leads us past the Naturfreundehaus hut, then we descend to the settlement of Klippitztörl, where the described route begins next to the Seetalerhütte hut.
c) We leave the Klagenfurt am Wörthersee – Graz motorway at the Bad St. Leonhard im Lavanttal exit, then follow the signs for Zeltweg and Reichenfels. Further on, we drive along Obdacher Straße, but after a good 2 km we leave it and turn left towards the Klippitztörl pass. Next comes an ascent along the ascending asphalt road, which we follow to the settlement of Klippitztörl, where the described route begins next to the Seetalerhütte hut.

Path description:
From the mountain hut Seetalerhütte we go on the road upwards in the direction of the mountain hut Naturfreundehaus. At first, we walk along the edge of the road, and then on the right side, only a few steps away from the road, a footpath appears which continues parallel to the road. Higher up, we slightly move away from the road, and then we reach a side gravel road, along which we continue the ascent. The road then leads us to the right of a holiday cottage, where it changes into a cart track; higher up the cart track turns left and then continues ascending diagonally to the left. When the cart track ends, we diagonally descend a short distance along the marked path; when the path widens, we easily ascend to the mountain hut Naturfreundehaus.
