From the surroundings of the state capital Klagenfurt, one can see the Wintertalernock far to the northwest. It is especially easy to recognize in spring when its slopes are still deeply covered with snow. We best reach the mountain from the Flattnitz, a high plateau with the small namesake village located on the road that already led from the Gurk valley to the Mur valley in Roman times. Large parts of the area belong to the Diocese of Gurk, whose prince-bishops were probably also the namesakes for the Fürstenhütte, past which our hike leads.
From the Alpengasthof Isopp, we follow the road closed to general traffic (Kalkbrandweg), whose switchbacks we can also shorten, over a gentle saddle and past an old lime kiln down to the Fürstenhütte, 1456 m. On the road, we walk with trail no. 129 (also the Carinthian border trail) initially level downhill. After about 20 minutes, we turn right at a signpost onto another road (still trail 129), from which we then branch left onto a path at a signpost at the Wintertaler and Deckerhütte, 1530 m. This leads us soon to a cart track and immediately after to a road on which we reach the Steringer Alm, 1712 m, also called Steringer Hütte. The forest becomes lighter; we come through open terrain onto the ridge, 1892 m, over which we – sometimes somewhat steeper – ascend to the east summit of the Wintertalernock, 2394 m. The west summit, also called the Styrian summit or Strassburger Spitz, is about 500 m from the east summit. At 2404 m it is slightly higher and, besides a summit cross, bears
