Teichalm (Parkirišče Heulantsch) - Haberlstall Alm

Access to starting point:
From the border crossing Šentilj we continue driving on the highway towards Graz and further towards Linz and Salzburg. We soon leave highway A9 and we continue driving slightly right in the direction towards Vienna / Wien and we continue driving on the fast road S35. We leave the mentioned fast road at the exit for Mixnitz, and then at the roundabout we go to the exit in the direction of Teichalm. Further, we continue to follow the signs for Teichalm. At the end of the settlement St. Erhard we once again turn right towards Teichalm, and then we start ascending steeply. When we reach the mountain pasture Breitalm, we gradually start descending but we follow the road to the parking lot Rastplatz Heulantsch, which is situated somewhat before the Almwellness Hotel Pierer.
To the starting point, we can also arrive from the direction of Weiz or Frohnleiten.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we follow a cart track with signs for the mountain hut Stoahandhütte, and soon turn left onto a marked path that runs alongside a grazing fence. Higher up, after a short traverse across slopes, we cross another grazing fence and begin a steep ascent along the grazing fence. For a few minutes, we ascend steeply on a grassy slope, and upon reaching the ridge, we turn right (to the left is the peak Frießenkogel, which is not accessible) and in a few minutes of further walking, we arrive at the panoramic peak Heulantsch.
At the summit, by the cross, we turn left into the forest and begin descending. Upon exiting the forest, a little lower, we reach a cart track, which we follow to the right, continuing a gentle descent to a nearby crossing, where we turn left upward onto a marked path leading toward the mountain hut Stoahandhütte.
The path ahead, on the right side, with scenic views, bypasses Grubbauerkogel (1424 m), passing two benches. Next, we descend briefly, then ascend through the forest to an indistinct peak, Nestlbodnerkogel (1393 m), and after passing a bench, we emerge from the forest. A short descent follows along the forest edge. After crossing a grazing fence, from the crossing we continue slightly left (to the right leads downward to Pension Camping Holzmeister), and in a minute of further walking, we reach the mountain hut Stoahandhütte.
We bypass the mountain hut Stoahandhütte on the right, then ascend gently at first, followed by a steeper climb, initially along a grazing fence and higher up along the forest edge. When the steepness eases, we arrive at an artificial lake near the summit Mooskogel. From here, we first descend gently along a panoramic ridge to a saddle, then moderately ascend to the 1410-meter-high Kulmkogel. We continue walking alongside a grazing fence and soon reach a peak with a cross, where there is a marked crossing.
We continue in the direction of the mountain pass and settlement Straßegg and we start descending.
Next follows an approximately ten-minute descent, which ends at the hut on the mountain pasture Haberlstall Alm.
Starting point - Stoahandhütte 1:40, Stoahandhütte - Haberlstall Alm 1:20.
