Bresternica (spodnji Rušnik) - Koča na Žavcarjevem vrhu

Access to the starting point:
From the road Maribor - Dravograd, in Bresternica (Brestrnica on the maps) you will see signs for the village of Gaj, which direct you to the right (and from the route of Dravograd, to the left). After a few metres, at a poorly marked crossroads, continue to the left and follow the road through the village to the chapel, where you 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 for about 1km to the next mountain signs (this time for Žavcarjev vrh) at which we park in one of several small parking lots along the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, follow the macadam road in the direction of Žavcarjevje vrh. The road initially leads us along a stream, then turns right and climbs steeply. Follow this road, which mainly passes through a forest, to a small hamlet, where it turns into a wide cart track. The ascent continues along the above-mentioned cart track, which leads us higher up past a lonely farmhouse and leads us to a forest road, which we only cross.
We continue our ascent along cart track, which climbs transversely through the forest, and we follow it only as far as a point where signs direct us to the right onto a footpath.
The path widens higher up to cart track and then to a road, which we quickly leave as the markings lead us back to the footpath. Higher up, the path joins the road, which continues the ascent for the next few minutes.
Son we will see the following markings for Žavcarjev vrh, which direct us to cart track, which will take us up to the mountain hut in a few minutes.

We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Žavcarjev vrh ( 10 min)
