Access to the starting point:
Caution: please note that the road is in bad shape!

Drive to Irschen (Austria). Once in Irschen follow the signs for Weneberger and than for Weneberger Alm. The last 6 kilometers of the dusty road are in really bad shape! There is a parking at the destination and the hut Unteralmhütte in the vicinity.

Path description:
From car continue to the hut Unteralmhütte. A trail to the hut Bergheimat begins by the slope behind the hut. After one minute you will reach the signs where you should turn left in direction Lamnitzsee or Scharnik.

In the continuation, enjoy the trail which opens up while it slowly ascends. The trail crosses a mountain spring and then it reaches a spot with cosy recliners. After 45 minutes of walk (from last signs by the Unteralmhütte) the trail joins with the one from Ochsnerhütte.

Continue left and after 30 minutes of a slightly steeper trail turn left (right is Scharnik). After 15 minutes of walk you will reach the top.
