Access to starting point:
Highway A2 Graz - Vienna / Wien we leave at the exit for Gleisdorf West, and then we follow the signs for Hartberg and Weiz, and later only Weiz. Through Weiz, we follow the signs for Passail. For the gorge Weizklamm, we turn right from the main road towards Sommeralm and surrounding settlements (straight for Passail). We gradually start ascending more noticeably, and we follow the signs for Sommeralm. Before reaching the alpine meadow or settlement Sommeralm, we arrive at the mountain cottage Stoakoglhütte, where we park in a parking lot near the cottage.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the cottage Stoakoglhütte, bypass it on the left side, and continue slightly to the right toward Sommeralm and Plankogel. The path ahead leads us along a grassy cart track, which brings us to a crossroads on a small saddle in about five minutes.
We continue on the slightly left path in the direction of the path to Sommeralm (slightly right to Plankogel), the path past a smaller cross leads us into the forest, where we get very close to an asphalt road. The path ahead leads us parallel to the main road, guiding us a few meters above the road. When we leave the forest, we first cross a grazing fence, then lightly descend to the parking lot on Sommeralm. From here, we continue in the same direction, walking past some structures on Sommeralm to the central part of the settlement, or we can continue for about a minute further to the chapel, which is located at the edge of the forest.
