Čemernica / Tschemernitzen - Arihova peč / Arichwand

Access to the starting point:
Take the Karawanks tunnel into Austria and leave the motorway at the exit Kot / Winkl. When you reach the main road through Roz / Rosental, turn right, then before the underpass under the motorway viaduct, turn left towards Svatne / Schlatten, Hodnina / Kanin and Čemernica / Tschemernitzen. There are two serpentines, then continue parallel to the motorway. Continue through an underpass to the east side of the motorway and turn right at a junction towards Hodnina. After the crossroads, pass through the underpass once more, then arrive in Hodnina, and follow the road to the next settlement, Čemernica, where the route described above begins by the yellow mountain signs. We park a little earlier at a suitable place along the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, follow the path towards Bleščeče mountain pasture / Rossalm, Koča Berta and Kepe / Mittagskogel. The trail initially leads along a rather slippery dirt road, which soon takes us into the forest, and at the crossroads we follow it in the direction of the markings. Higher up, go slightly left off the road onto the cart track, and soon left again off the cart track onto the forest path, which becomes quite steep. The path then ascends a steep slope below the cliffs Arihova peč, and splits when the slope switches to the downhill side at a small pass.
To the right the path continues towards Bleščeča mountain pasture, and we go to the left, where we follow the markings, which in a few minutes take us to the lookout point at the top of Arihova peč, where there is also a wooden hut.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2018 (August).
