Bad Gleichenberg (Eichgraben Weg) - Mühlsteinbruch

Access to starting point:
We drive to Gornja Radgona, from where we drive into Austria. Through Radgona / Bad Radkersburg we follow the signs for the highway, and after the settlement Halbenrain we turn right in the direction of the town Vrbna / Feldbach. When we get to the settlement Bad Gleichenberg after the car wash Eurowash, we turn right onto the road Badstraße, and then we drive on Ringstraße, Bernreither Straße, Steinriegelstraße and here we turn left onto Eichgraben Weg. Along the mentioned road we drive a few hundred meters and then we park on the parking lot by the edge of the forest.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto a marked footpath which ascends through the forest, and at the very beginning on the left side we bypass a smaller recreation park. Next follows an ascent through the forest, where the path leads us past numerous informative-educational panels, and at the crossings we follow the blazes of path number 13.
Higher, the path splits, and we choose the right path, beside which there are signs for Gleichenberg Dorf (straight - Alte Wasserstelle), along which we continue ascending through the forest. A little further, the path splits once again, and this time we continue left in the direction of Mühlsteinbruch and Enzianhütte.
There follows only a shorter ascent and past a lookout tower we arrive at the cross on Mühlsteinbruch, the mountain hut Enzianhütte is located a little further.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in December 2022.
