Weinebene Straße - Jagdhaus Straßerhalt

Access to starting point:
A) Through one of the border crossings with Austria (Korensko sedlo, Karawanks Tunnel, Ljubelj mountain pass, Jezerski vrh mountain pass, Pavličev vrh mountain pass), we drive into Austria, and then we continue driving on the highway towards Graz. On the mentioned highway we drive to the settlement Volšperk / Wolfsberg, where we leave the highway, and when we get to the old or regional road we continue driving in the direction of the settlement St. Gertraud. In the settlement St. Gertraud, we notice signs for the Weinebene Alpine mountain pass, which direct us to the right onto an ascending asphalt road. On the mentioned road, we drive approximately 13.5 km, or until a right turn, where a forest road branches off to the left, and near the yellow hiking signposts, there is a parking lot for a few cars.
B) Over the border crossing Holmec or Vič we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving towards the settlement Volšperk / Wolfsberg. From Volšperk we continue on a regional road in the direction of the settlement St. Gertraud. In the settlement St. Gertraud we notice signs for Alpine mountain pass Weinebene, which point us to the right on an ascending asphalt road. On the mentioned road, we drive approximately 13.5 km, or until a right turn, where a forest road branches off to the left, and near the yellow hiking signposts, there is a parking lot for a few cars.
C) First, we drive to Maribor, and then we continue driving on the highway towards the border crossing Šentilj and ahead on Austrian highway towards Gradec / Graz. We leave the mentioned highway at exit for settlement Lipnica / Leibnitz. When we leave the highway at the roundabout, we continue in the direction of the settlement Lipnica / Leibnitz and further we drive south from the village Gralla, which is today already some kind of peripheral part of Lipnica. Further, the road leads us past industrial zone, and at the roundabout by store Hofer we continue "straight" on the second exit in the direction of the settlement Lonč / Deutschlandsberg. Further, we for some time drive on the main road, and after the village Graschach we turn right in the direction of the settlement Lonč / Deutschlandsberg. In a roundabout right next to the settlement Lonč / Deutschlandsberg, we continue "straight" in the direction of the alpine mountain pass Weinebene. From here, the road begins to ascend more steeply, and we follow it to the mentioned mountain pass, which we reach after approximately 20 km of driving from the start of the settlement Lonč. From the mountain pass, we continue driving forward and begin descending, descending for approximately 4.5 km, when, at a left turn, we drive right onto a smaller parking lot, where we also notice the Bärofen hiking signposts.

Path description:
From the starting point, we head onto a side road where we parked, marked with signs for Wildbachsattel, Bärofen, and Weinebene, and begin moderately ascending along it. A little further, the road flattens, then moderately ascends again, leading us near the hunting cottage Jagdhaus Straßerhalt, where there is a crossing. Here we go left and in a few dozen strides we reach the cottage, while to the right the marked path continues.
