Turracher Höhe - Kornock (northern way)

Access to starting point:
From Kärnten: first we drive to the settlement Feldkirchen, from where we follow a well-marked road to the mountain pass Turracher Höhe.
From Steiermark and Salzburg we drive to the valley of the river Mur and follow the road to the settlement Predlitz (the settlement is located west of the town Murau). In Predlitz we leave the main road and continue driving towards the mountain pass Turracher Höhe.

Route description:
From the parking lot on Turracher Höhe we go on the path in the direction of the summit Kornock and Rinsennock. After a few minutes of walking on the road, we come to a crossing next to the summer sledding track. At the crossing there are signposts, where it says Kornock and Rinsennock left and right (a possible circular path). If we decide for the ascent on a somewhat more northern path, we continue right on the road which through the underpass crosses the sledding track and then turns left upwards. The slightly ascending road soon brings us out of the forest onto ample grazing areas. Further the road slowly changes into an increasingly steep cart track, which higher brings us to the next crossing. We again continue right (ascent to the summit is possible also to the left) and follow the cart track which ascends over grassy slopes to a concrete building (transformer) on which we already from afar see the blazes. Further, the path turns a little left and after a short ascent brings us to the upper slope of Kornock. There follows an ascent on a panoramic grassy slope to the mentioned summit, in the middle of which we see the upper station of the cableway. After the cableway the path narrows and brings us to information boards on the top.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Rinsennock ( 30 min)

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama
