Etrachsee - Rudolf Schober Hütte

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Beljak / Villach - Salzburg take the St. Michael exit and follow the road until Tamsweg, where you turn left towards Sauerfeld. Follow this road to the village of Seebach (you can also reach it from Murau), where signs for Krakaudorf direct you to the left. Continue following the signs towards Lake Etrachsee, in front of which you park in the parking lot. The road is closed in winter.

Path description:
From the parking lot at Etrachsee, continue along the road towards the Bauleiteck summit and the Rudolf Schober Hütte. The way forward takes you past the lake mentioned above, behind which you reach a couple of private huts. Continue along the road, which after a few minutes' walk leads to a marked crossroads. Continue right up the cart track, which begins to climb steeply. After a short climb, the path leads back to the road, which you follow to the next crossroads. Here you have two options for continuing: you can climb up to the hut either by road (straight ahead) or by a pleasant footpath that turns left. If you choose the 5 minute shorter walk, continue left and then after a few steps right along the stream uphill. A beautiful path leads through pastures and, higher up, crosses the stream via a number of small bridges. The path, which has since turned into a forest, climbs steeply and leads us in a few minutes to the mountain home.
