Bergheimat - Unteralmhütte

Access to starting point:
Drive to Irschen (Austria). The fastest way to Irschen is via the motorway to Spittal and then along the regional road past the villages of Lendorf, Greifenburg and Dellach im Drautal all the way to Irschen. In Irschen, follow the signs for Leppner Alm. The steep road winds along the steep scenic slope past houses, then turns into the forest. The road is macadam in the last section, until after a few kilometres you reach the destination at the parking lot below the hut or the Bergheimat guesthouse.

Route description:
From the parking lot, follow the macadam road to the information boards and cross the small bridge. Immediately after the bridge, turn left onto the footpath, which steeply ascends past the signposts. After a few minutes, the path merges with the road, where the signpost directs left. Along the road you soon reach houses, behind which turn right at the signposts. The path then ascends through the forest in steeper sections. Soon it reaches a pasture and bypasses the hut, behind which you need to turn right. The path then gently ascends and merges with the cart track. Before the barrier, the path branches off to the left. Further on, the path crosses several springs and numerous pasture areas. Finally, the signposts a minute before the hut direct left. A short descent to the hut follows.
