Rein - Mühlbacher Hütte (Hunting path / Jägersteig)

Access to starting point:
From the highway Maribor-Graz-Salzburg (A9), we head to the exit Gratkorn-Nord, 2nd turnoff after the Plabutschtunnel. We turn right in the direction of Rein. We drive through three roundabouts. In the first we choose the 1st exit, in the second the 2nd exit, and in the third the 1st exit towards the place Rein. There follow two more junctions, where in the 1st we turn right and in the 2nd left. After 2.5 km we arrive in the place Rein, where we park on a large parking lot intended for visitors of the monastery.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we go along the sidewalk in the direction of the monastery. At the junction, we turn right across the bridge over the Mühlbach stream. Immediately after the first house we again turn right. A few meters after the path changes from an asphalt surface to gravel, we turn right onto the hunting path (sign Jägersteig). We follow the path along the fence for 100 meters and then turn sharply right into the steep slope. At the top of the slope, we arrive at the ridge, where we turn left. Along the ridge we first continue steeply upwards, then slightly up/down, until the path joins the road. We continue upwards along the road and after approximately 800 m a sign directs us again onto a forest path. We follow the path to the road, which we cross. There follows a fork, in which we choose the left path. We follow the signs. After the steep section of the path, we arrive at a macadam road, where we continue left. We follow the road for approximately 2.5 km and in good weather admire the view into the valley. A sign on a rock directs us onto a wider forest path, which we follow to the hut.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Mühlbacher Kogel ( 10 min)
