Path description:
From the Ribnica na Pohorju centre, initially continue along the ascending asphalt road, from which you will soon turn right in the direction of Koča na Pesniku. You will quickly reach the foot of the ski slope, where you will leave the road and continue your ascent to the left along the edge of the ski slope. When you reach the top of the ski slope, you will cross another lane of forest, and then reach a dirt road where the trail ends. Continue along the road for a while, which leads through the forest, and higher up you will reach a crossroads from which you continue straight on the footpath towards the Hut na Pesniku. This is followed by about 15 minutes of moderate ascent and the path leads us out of the forest, where we can already see the mountain hut in front of us, which is only a few minutes' easy walk away.
