Bresternica (Šiker) - Koča na Žavcarjevem vrhu

Access to the starting point:
From the road Maribor - Dravograd, in Bresternica (Brestrnica on maps) you will see signs for the village of Gaj, which will direct you to the right (from the route of Dravograd, to the left). After a few metres, at a poorly marked crossroads, continue left and follow the road through the village to the chapel, where you will continue to the left. The ascending road leads us higher up to the crossroads at which we see the mountain direction signs for Tojzlov vrh. We continue here to the left and follow the road, which continues to gradually climb, to the road marker 7. 5km. Just a few metres before this marker we will see a parking lot and mountain direction signs along the road.

Path description:
From the parking lot, go back a few metres, cross the small bridge and then follow the footpath towards Žavcarjev Peak. The marked path, which follows cart track, soon enters the forest and then climbs moderately. At the higher cart track it turns left, comes out of the wods and leads to a hamlet of a few houses only a short distance afterwards.
We continue our ascent along the road for a while, and then the signs direct us to the left onto a footpath that climbs along the edge of the forest. The path soon goes into the wods, where we soon come to a chapel, at which the path turns slightly to the left. We continue up the initially gently sloping path, which climbs a little higher and leads us to a forest road, which we only cross (to the right, the Holy Ghost on Ostrem vrh).
Continue in the direction of Žavcar's Peak along the path, which continues with a few short ascents and descents. The path from which we occasionally open up some views, however, soon leads us to a forest road, which we then follow to the mountain home.
