Access to starting point:
From Kärnten: at first we drive to the settlement Feldkirchen, from where we follow a well-marked road to mountain pass Turracher Höhe.
From steiermark and Salzburg we drive to valley of river Mur and we follow the road to the settlement Predlitz (settlement is located west from the settlement Murau). And in Predlitz we leave the main road and we continue driving towards the mountain pass Turracher Höhe.
Path description:
From the parking lot on Turracher Höhe we go on the path in the direction of the summit Kornock and Rinsennock. After few minutes of walking on the road, we come to a crossing next to the summer sledding track. At the crossing there are signposts, where it says Kornock and Rinsennock left and right (a possible circular path). If we decided for the ascent on a little more southern path, we continue left and then immediately right over a grazing fence on a footpath. Further, the path which is moderately ascending through the forest brings us in the area, where the sign warns, that we are entering the area of falling stones. The path ahead leads us past a well and the earlier mentioned avalanche terrain. After that, the path starts ascending steeper and it quickly brings us to a bench, on which we can sit and enjoy the view of surroundings.
Further, the path brings us on more plain terrain, on a partly abandoned mountain pasture, in the middle of which we notice a decaying shepherd hut. Only a little before the mentioned hut we turn left, we cross the stream and we ascend on with bushes vegetated path. After few minutes of a diagonal ascent, we pass from bushes on ample grassy slopes on which we for some time continue a quite gentle ascent. And soon the path starts ascending steeper, turns right and brings us on the upper slope of the mountain. This panoramic and not too steep ridge path we follow all the way to a grassy peak.
