Teichalm (Teichalmsee) - Gerlerkogel (past Gerlerkreuz)

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 to the right in the direction towards Vienna / Wien and continue driving on the fast road S35. We leave the mentioned fast road at the exit for Mixnitz, and then from the roundabout we take the exit in the direction of Teichalm. 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 start ascending steeply. When we reach the mountain pasture Breitalm we gradually start descending, and we follow the road to the parking lot at the lake Teichalmsee.

Path description:
On the south side of the expanded parking lot, a macadam road branches off towards the west, marked with signs for Gerlerkreuz and Tyrnauer Alm. The road splits after a few steps, and we continue sharply left (slightly right Tyrnauer Alm). The path ahead leads us along a gently sloping macadam road, offering beautiful views of the mountains above Teichalm and guiding us through expansive pastures. After some time, the path splits again, and we continue straight on a rougher road (slightly right on a cart track to the cottage Gerlerkogelhütte), which continues to ascend gently. When we enter the forest a little further, we climb somewhat steeper, and at a small crossing, we turn sharply right (left Angerwirt). A little further, we cross a grazing fence, then walk along the fence to a crossing by the cross Gerlerkogelkreuz.
Here we leave the marked path and continue right, where through the pasture we steeply ascend towards the nearby summit, to which we ascend in a few minutes of additional walking.
The description and pictures refer to the condition in October 2023.
