Koča na Pikovem - Veliki vrh (above Mežiška dolina) (via Pikov vrh)

Access to the starting point:
Take the road to Črna na Koroškem, then follow the signs for Podpeca and later Koča na Pikovem. Park in the parking lot near the Hut na Pikovem.

Path description:
From the parking lot, walk to the Church of St Helena and Koča na Pikovem, then after the church, turn left on the path towards Veliki vrh. The way ahead leads along a less good macadam road, first through the woods and then across meadows, which offer a beautiful view. Behind the Pik homestead, the road changes to cart track, and at the edge of the forest, the path to Pikov vrh branches off to the right.
Continue in the direction of Pikov vrh and start climbing steeply through the forest on an unmarked path. Higher up, the path from the Pika's sign joins us from the left, and within a few minutes of further walking we reach Pikov vrh, where there is a lookout tower.
We go around the lookout tower on the right, then initially descend a little on the ridge, and then the trail continues with a few short ascents and descents. When we are quite close to the Veliki Top, the path to the Pikovi Caves branches off to the right, and we continue to the left and climb crosswise to the transmitters on Veliki Top, with the registration box a few steps further to the right.
Pikov Hut - Pikov vrh 30 minutes, Pikov vrh - Veliki vrh 40 minutes.
