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 aforementioned fast road at the exit for Mixnitz, and then from the roundabout we take the exit in the direction of Teichalm. We also 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 mountain pasture Breitalm we gradually start descending, 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 to 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, the cottage Zum Guten Hirten, and the gorge Bärenschützklamm. The path ahead first leads us through a larger meadow, then passes into the forest, where it gently descends along the stream Mixnitzbach. Further, we reach a junction, where we leave the road and continue left over a small bridge, beside which are signs for the footpath to Tyrnaueralm and Rote Wand (straight ahead leads a few minutes longer path along the road and the path towards the cottage Zum Guten Hirten and the summit Hochlantsch).
We continue over the small bridge, then proceed along the edge of the pasture, with the path mostly leading through the outskirts of the forest. Higher up, we return to the road where the blazes reappear, and we continue along it through a small grassy valley. Higher up, at the edge of the forest, the path turns right and moves onto a slope, where it leads us through a mostly coniferous, partly larch forest. Further, we follow a wider macadam road, which we follow to the cottage Tyrnauer Almhütte.
