Unterauerlinger Hütte - Bernsteinhütte

Access to starting point:
Highway A2 Klagenfurt - Graz we leave at the Packsattel exit, and then we follow the signs for Auerling. Next follows some descent, and then we follow the signs for the settlement Unterauerling, and from there the signs for Liedel, cottage Schrottalmhütte, and cottage Unterauerlingerhütte. Higher up, the road splits, and we go right towards cottage Unterauerlingerhütte (left cottage Schrottalmhütte) and then drive to the parking lot near the mentioned cottage.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the chapel of St. Hubert, which is situated above the cottage Unterauerlinger Hütte and continue left by the chapel (straight to the cottage Knödelhütte). Next follows an ascent on a rough macadam road, and shortly after the hunting observatory, we veer slightly right from the road onto a marked path that cuts through a right turn. We quickly return to the road and continue ascending along it; after crossing a grazing fence, we leave the road at a left turn and proceed right toward the cottage Bernsteinhütte (continuing on the road leads to the cottages Liedelhütte and Schrottalmhütte). Next, we walk along a footpath that leads through the forest; we initially ascend a bit further, then follow a gentle descent to a junction at a small saddle, where we join the path from the cottage Knödelhütte.
Here, we cross over a grazing fence and, in a minute of further walking, arrive at the cottage Bernsteinhütte.
