Leibnitzbachbrücke - Leibnitzalm

Access to the starting point:
Drive through the Karavanke Tunnel into Austria, then continue to Spittal and on to Lienz (the motorway ends a little after Spittal). We continue along a relatively nice and wide road through the Drava Valley. In the centre of Lienz, at the roundabout, turn right towards Matrei. From the roundabout, continue along the valley of the Isel for about 8 km, then turn right towards Oberleibnig. Follow the signs for the Hochschoberhütte on the ascending road. The road climbs steep slopes and is quite narrow most of the time. At the last part, the asphalt ends and you continue on a dirt road for a few kilometres until you reach the parking area by the bridge over the Leibnitzbach stream.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the macadam road for a few metres, which is then closed to traffic, and then signs direct you to the right onto a footpath. At first, you climb through the woods with the Leibnitzbach stream on your left. Later, a path called Eduard Jordan Weg leads to slightly flatter grassy terrain where you cross a bridge. Then the path climbs again a little steeper along the stream and leads to the mountain pasture Leibnitzalm.

We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Hochschoberhütte (1 h 15 min), Schoberlacke (2 h), Gartlsee (2 h 15 min), Barrenlesee (2 h 45 min), Hoher Prijakt (3 h 30 min), Hochschober (4 h 15 min)
