Access to starting point:
A) From the Gorenjska side we go over the border crossing Ljubelj to Celovec / Klagenfurt or through the Karawanks to Beljak / Villach. Next we head onto the motorway in the direction of the signs for Gradec / Graz. We leave the motorway before the approximately 2 km long tunnel in the direction of Bad St. Leonhard. Further, we drive past the village St. Peter and the smaller town Obdach. Through Obdach we continue driving to Judenburg. All the time we follow the signs for Judenburg until we get to the center of Judenburg. In the roundabout, where there is a gas station in the middle, we turn left in the direction of Seetaler Alpe. We follow the road 17 km and the signs for Winterleiten Hütte and park on the large parking lot before the road closure.
B) From Koroška we first drive to Dravograd and further into Austria. We follow the road ahead towards St. Paul, St. Andrä and Wolfsberg. In Wolfsberg we head towards Bad St. Leonhard and further towards St. Peter. Further, we follow the description from Gorenjska.
C) From the Štajerska side we drive to Maribor and further over the border crossing Šentilj into Austria. We follow the motorway in the direction of Celovec / Klagenfurt. We leave the motorway at the exit Bad St. Leonhard. Further, we follow the description from Gorenjska.
D) Access from Austria: First, we drive to Judenburg, which is situated by the river Mur in Austria. Further, we drive to the southern part of the town, where we notice a hospital. Near the hospital a mountain road branches off towards Seetaler Alpe. The road is marked with signs "Seetaler strasse". We follow the nice and initially asphalted road towards the signs for Winterleiten Hütte. We park on the large parking lot before the road closure.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road which is closed with a barrier. After a short ascent on the road we come out of the forest, where in front of us we see a lake and to the right of it the hut.

Access to the starting point is written completely confusing and misleading, specifically from here on:
""A few kilometers after the tunnel at Obdach, the road brings us to a roundabout, where we take the exit to Judenburg. The road then takes us to the suburb of Judenburg and immediately after to an intersection, where we turn left. Then soon we notice signs for the hospital (left), past which we continue. Further we drive on a narrow road that brings us to an intersection at a small chapel. We continue left and follow the road towards the signs for Winterleiten Hütte. We park at the larger parking lot before the roadblock.""
A simpler and more logical description is the following:
Through Obdach (don't know why it's necessary to mention it at all) we continue driving to Judenburg. All the way we follow the signs for Judenburg until we reach the center of Judenburg. At the roundabout where there is a gas station in the middle, we turn left towards Seetaler Alpe (there are no signs for Winterleiten Hutte anywhere). We follow the road 17 km and the signs for Winterleiten Hütte and park at the larger parking lot before the roadblock.

Thanks for the warning, I've corrected it.

In winter, you need to follow this description, in summer - dry conditions it is possible to use the shorter variant directly from Obdach to the hut (15km).
