Teichalm (Teichalmsee) - Zum Guten Hirten

Access to the starting point:
From Border crossing Šentilj, continue along the motorway to Graz and on to Linz and Salzburg. The A9 motorway is soon exited and the drive continues slightly to the right in the direction of Vienna and continues on the S35 expressway. Leave the expressway at the exit for Mixnitz and then take the exit towards Teichalm from the roundabout. Continue following the signs for Teichalm. At the end of the village of St. Erhard, turn right once more towards Teichalm and then start climbing steeply. When you reach mountain pasture Breitalm, you gradually start to descend, and we follow the road until we reach the parking lot at Lake Teichalmsee.

Path description:
From the parking lot, walk to the Almgasthof Zum Teichwirt, where you will see the first yellow mountain direction signs. Take the path in the direction of the Hochlantsch summit, and the path splits behind the buildings.
Take the path slightly to the left in the direction of the Rote Wand summit and the Guter Hirte hut and the Bärenschützklamm gorge. The path ahead leads first across a large meadow and then into the forest, where it descends gently along the Mixnitzbach stream. There are a few small crossroads where you follow the signs for the Zum Guter Hirte hut, and the road gradually moves away from the stream and starts to climb gently. After a while the path splits again, and we choose a path that continues straight ahead (right Schüsserlbrunn and Hochlantsch). The path continues to climb gently for a few minutes, then starts to descend and leads us past the cross to the Zum Guter Hirte hut.
