Access to the starting point:
Cross the Korensko sedlo border crossing into Austria, then turn right before the main crossroads (Bialjak - Trbiž road junction) into Radna vas / Radendorf. At the next crossroads at St. Leonhard bei Siebenbrünn (St. Leonhard bei Siebenbrünn), turn right towards Grpiče (Korpitch) (on the left Ločilo / Hart). When you arrive in Grpice, follow the signs for Blekova planina - Blekowa Alm. There are no suitable parking places at the starting point.
Path description:
From the upper part of the village, cross the pasture fence and climb steeply across the pasture to the crossroads, at which there is a marked crossroads. From the crossroads, continue along the road to the left in the direction of "Pridou - Blekova", but we follow it for only a few minutes, as the signs then direct us to the right onto a footpath that crosses the forest road a few more times higher up. The path, which is less well marked in some places and is mainly very overgrown, then continues along the dirt road for some time and leaves it again from time to time. Higher up, the trail continues mainly on the road, and we follow it to a long left turn, at the end of which a marked trail branches off to the right. The way forward initially climbs through the forest, then passes into an overgrown valley, where we follow an overgrown path up to a nearby forest road, which we reach just at Pridovske huts.
Once on the road, join the slightly more frequented path from the village of Žužalče / Susalitch. Here you pass a few more cottages, then the road turns sharp right and after a few 10 steps leads to a place where signs lead you left onto a footpath which then climbs through the forest. After a short climb, we return to the road and leave it again after 20 m. Just a few metres higher, cross the road one last time and then start climbing steeply through the forest. Higher up, we climb over a steep grassy slope surrounded by lush scrub, and then the path returns to the forest. The path continues steeply, then crosses a grazing fence and lays down behind it. A steep climb to the border ridge follows, and an increasingly scenic path (view of Dobratsch and the Martuljka group) leads to the shepherd's hut at Blekova mountain pasture.
