Weinebene - Weinhofen

Access to starting point:
A) Over one of the border crossings with Austria (Korensko sedlo, Karawanks Tunnel, mountain pass Ljubelj, mountain pass Jezerski vrh, mountain pass Pavličev vrh) we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving on the so-called southern motorway towards Graz / Graz. On the mentioned motorway we drive to the settlement Volšperk / Wolfsberg, where we leave the motorway, 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 alpine pass Weinebene, which point us to the right on an ascending asphalt road. On the mentioned road, we drive approximately 18 km, and then we get to the mentioned alpine pass, which is situated at an altitude of 1668 m.
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 the alpine pass Weinebene, which point us to the right on an ascending asphalt road. On the mentioned road, we drive approximately 18 km, and then we get to the mentioned alpine pass, which is situated at an altitude of 1668 m.
C) First, we drive to Maribor, and then we continue driving on the motorway towards the border crossing Šentilj and ahead on Austrian motorway towards Graz / Graz. We leave the mentioned motorway at the exit for the settlement Lipnica / Leibnitz. When we leave the motorway 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 an industrial or commercial zone, and at the roundabout by the Hofer store we continue "straight" on the second exit in the direction of the settlement Lonč / Deutschlandsberg. Further, we drive for some time 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 pass Weinebene. From here, the road begins to ascend more steeply, and we follow it to the mentioned pass, which we reach after approximately 20 km of driving from the start of the settlement Lonč.

Path description:
From the mountain pass, we head south, where by the inn Weinofenblick we notice signs for the peak Gr. Spekkogel, which direct us onto a macadam road that begins moderately ascending along the ski slope route. After a few minutes of walking, the road flattens, and a few steps off the path, we notice several large rocks forming the peak Weinhofen.
