Teichalm (Teichalmsee) - Gasthaus Steirischer Jockl

Access to starting point:
From the border crossing Šentilj we continue driving on the highway towards Graz and further towards Linz and Salzburg. We soon leave highway A9 and continue driving slightly right in the direction towards Vienna / Wien and continue driving on the expressway S35. We leave the mentioned expressway at the exit for Mixnitz, and then from the roundabout we take the exit in the direction of Teichalm. Further on, we continue to follow the signs for Teichalm. At the end of the settlement St. Erhard we once again turn right towards Teichalm, and then we begin to ascend steeply. When we reach the alpine pasture Breitalm we gradually begin to descend, and we follow the road to the parking lot at the lake Teichalmsee.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the inn Almgasthof Zum Teichwirt, where we notice the first yellow hiking signposts. We head onto the path in the direction of the summit Hochlantsch, and behind the buildings the path splits.
We choose the slightly left path in the direction of the summit Rote Wand and hut Guter Hirte and gorge Bärenschützklamm. The path ahead first leads us through a larger meadow, then it passes into the forest, where it gently descends along the stream Mixnitzbach. Further on, there follow a few smaller intersections, where we follow the signs for hut Zum Guter Hirte, the road then gradually moves away from the stream and begins to ascend gently. After some time, the path splits once again, and we choose the path that continues right in the direction towards Schüsserlbrunn and Hochlantsch (straight to Zum Guten Hirten).
The path ahead leads us on a macadam road that ascends transversely, and higher up a path joins us from the left that leads past the hut Zum Guten Hirten.
From here we walk a few more minutes on the macadam road, which leads us along an abandoned pasture, then the blazes direct us slightly left onto a footpath that passes into a strip of forest and ascends somewhat more steeply. After a few minutes of ascent through the forest we return to the road, and the path splits.
We continue left along the road (slightly left across the road Hochlantsch) and follow it to the hut Gasthaus Steirischer Jockl, from where a beautiful view opens up.
