Roadbook
From Spital am Semmering train station, walk towards the church; there is already the first signpost hanging on a tree. After the church, turn right and then follow the road past the lift facilities to the Kaltenbachgraben. The path now runs almost all the way to the hut along the Kaltenbach, initially through the forest, later over lightly vegetated alpine meadows. The road soon becomes a forest road and later you turn onto a hiking trail. After a few switchbacks on the path, you reach the Karl-Lechner-Haus.
