St. Corona am Wechsel - Arabichl

Access to starting point:
Leave the A2 motorway Graz - Vienna at the Aspang Markt exit and follow the road to the mentioned place. When we arrive in the town, we follow the signs to the Mariensee settlement, at the end of the town we go straight towards St. Corona am Wechsel. We then begin to climb more steeply, but we follow the road to the center of the St. Corona am Wechsel settlement, where we park in one of the parking lots.

Path description:
From the parking lot we walk to the church of St. Corona, then go left onto the side road, along which there are signs for Hochwechsel, Kampsteiner Schwaig, Herrgottschnitzerhütte and many other signs. Initially we still climb past a few houses, at a small cross we go right and continue to follow the signs for Hochwechsel. The path further crosses the ski slope and summer toboggan run track, then it forks.
Slightly to the left from the road a path branches off that leads past the Orthof inn, we follow the path signs along the forest road and continue walking along the road, from which soon to the right another path branches off towards the Odenhof guesthouse.
We continue further along the forest road, which climbs moderately, higher up at a few junctions we follow the signs for Kampsteiner Schwaig.
Higher up we leave the road for a cart track, where the path leads us past the "starting stone" Antrittsstein (St. Wolfgangs Fußabdruck), after which we soon leave the forest. From here there is still some ascent through the forest, then the forest ends and through the meadow section we quickly reach the Kampsteiner Schwaig hut.
We bypass the hut on the left side and follow the signs for Hochwechsel, the path ahead first gently climbs the meadow section surrounded by sparse forest. When the path returns to the forest we bypass the Frauenalpe summit on the right side and begin to descend towards the west. Lower down the path stops descending, but when we start ascending again we reach the junction at the Schwarzer Herrgot cross, from where we continue straight in the direction of the Arabichl summit (left Feistritzer Schwaig).
A panoramic ascent follows on the grassy slope, where higher up we cross a forest road, we continue straight at the junctions and follow the markings towards the Arabichl summit, the path returns to the forest for a while.
A little below the summit we bypass the Steinernes Kreuz cross on the left side and climb the grassy slope to the panoramic summit.
