Path description:
From the starting point in Koprivna continue along the right road in the direction of Šopar, Ledrovec, Topla and the marked path to Pec (straight ahead and then after a few metres sharp left Kumer). The road we are following quickly splits, and we choose a slightly left road (right Šopar and Debelak), from which after about 10 minutes the marked footpath to Pec branches off to the left.
We continue on the macadam road, which leads us past the chapel out of the forest, where we reach the Ledrovec homestead with beautiful views. Above the homestead, the road makes a few serpentines and then returns to the forest. When we return to the forest, the road gradually lays down and then crosses the slopes to the left for some time in a gentle ascent.
When the road starts to descend gently, we reach the Preval between the valleys Koprivna and Topla, and we continue right at the snowmaker to cart track. Cart track quickly turns into a dense forest, and we then follow the unmarked path to the nearby Šoparjev vrh, from which we have a fine view towards Pec and Topla.
From Šoparjev vrh, where there is a larger clearing and some wider tracks lead to it, continue south to the south-east, initially following cart track along the edge of the forest, where the track quickly turns into forest. Through the forest, the path continues mostly on a wooded ridge, but the direction remains the same most of the time. At first the path is quite steep, occasionally it even descends a little, but in the second part the path starts to climb gently at first, and then a little steeper in the last part. At a few crossroads, follow the ridge path, which then leads to the scenic, but still somewhat overgrown, Čofati Peak.
