More information
After the bridge at the beginning of the lake you turn to the right along the lake, then below the hotel "Mondi-Hotel Seeblick" upwards and then leftwards to the street "Archkogelstraße". A bit downwards you reach a crossing, where you take the left turn in direction to Zlaim. After a short walk to the forest you turn to the right and via a bridge you get to the street "Grubenstraße". A this turn you take the graveld road to you left, pass a gate and walk until a waterbasin. At this bridge there you cross the Weißenbach and then take the right turn upwards. Along the fence of the water facility you will walk until the forest path. This forest path needs to be taken until the next bridge. About 100 meters after this bridge you turn to the right, were there are no markings, but small kind of buildings out of stones which lead you along the way. After a while you reach a forest road, the "Weißenbachalmstraße". This you will follow all the way to the mountain pasture "Weißenbachalm". Leaving this behind then, at the last hut turns the marked path number 259 left upwards. This leads along the hill and soon will be steep. In winds you will reach the mountain ridge and then you follow the first flat, later always more steep path to the peak of the Türkenkogel.
