Stubenbergsee - Stubenbergsee (path around the lake)

Access to starting point:
A) We leave the highway A2 Graz - Vienna / Wien at the exit for Gleisdorf, and then we follow the signs for Hartberg and Weiz, later only for Hartberg and Ilztal. From the roundabout in Ilztal we head onto the road towards Hartberg and Pischelsdorf. We leave the road towards Hartberg in the settlement Kaibing, where we turn left towards Fürstenfeld and St. Johan b.h., and at the next intersection we go left towards St. Johan b.h. From the settlement Sankt Johann bei Herberstein we drive to the nearby lake Stubenbergsee, at the end of which we turn left and park on a larger paid parking lot, where parking is allowed from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. The price for parking until 8 p.m. is 3 € (November 2022).
B) From Prekmurje we first drive to the border crossing Kuzma, then towards the settlement Jennersdorf, just before the mentioned place we turn onto the expressway in the direction of Vrbna / Feldbach. We soon leave the expressway as the signs for the motorway and the settlement Riegersburg direct us to the right. Along the main road we then drive to the settlement Hatzendorf, where we turn left, and when we reach Riegersburg we go right. This is followed by the drive to the settlement Ilz, where we go right and then immediately left towards the lake Stubenbergsee. From the roundabout on the edge of the settlement Großhartmannsdorf we take the exit towards the settlement Großsteinbach, but we continue along the main road all the way to the lake Stubenbergsee, at the end of which we turn left and park on a larger paid parking lot, where parking is allowed from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. The price for parking until 8 p.m. is 3 € (November 2022).

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the lake, which we reach at the toboggan. We continue right or straight on the asphalt path that runs between the lake on the left and the river Bistrica / Feistritz on the right. When we arrive at the southwestern edge of the lake, we go left (straight - gorge Klamm) and continue along the south side of the lake, from where a nice view opens up on the surrounding hills. We then arrive at the eastern side of the lake, where we pass several piers. A little further on, at a few junctions we keep to the left directions, and the path leads us along the northern side of the lake, where we cross a bridge from which a nice view opens up on the lake. Only a short walk follows and we arrive at the toboggan, where we go right and return to the starting point along the already known path.
