Matkov kot - Veliki vrh above Matkov kot

Access to the starting point:
We drive to Luce (to get here from Mozirje or over the Volovljek (Kranjski Rak) pass) and onwards towards the Logar valley. Shortly after the village Solčava, we reach a crossroads where the road to the Logarska dolina turns left, and we continue straight for about 1 km towards Pavliče sedlo and then turn left over a bridge towards Matkovem kot. Park in a suitable place.

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the road to Matkov kot, keeping to the lower road where there is a barrier. The road leads us along the edge of the meadow, crosses a gravel field and turns into a meadow. Then cross the wide gravel field again, rejoin the road, which in time leads to a gravel field by a cottage in the centre of the Mother's Corner. Here we have a view of the peaks surrounding Matkov kot.
Cross the gravel path in the direction of the hunting hut (báj). Behind the hut, on the right, look for a wide forest road cut into the hillside. The road climbs, sometimes very steeply, and you walk along it, keeping straight ahead. It takes you very high up, almost to a saddle. When the road ends (the mogic), turn right uphill. There is no beaten track, keep to the ridge. There are rocks sticking out of the ridge, which tells us that we are in the right direction. Higher up we reach a saddle at 1400 m, where we turn left (east). Further on the terrain becomes rocky and grassy, and the steepness increases. Follow the direction along the ridge, where a path appears, as well as hunting signs (blue stripe). The trail bypasses the first rise in the ridge on the north side and leads to the next saddle just below the slopes of the Velika summit. Here we are again biting into the slope and looking for the easiest passages. Soon we are in front of the dense dwarf pines, which shows the route. The steepness increases, and we use dwarf pines to help us climb. Once over this slope, you will find yourself at a vertical wall, and on the left is a steep grassy ridge sloping upwards for about 10 m. Climb it (a little bit of a scramble and very exposed) to a foothill covered with dwarf pines vegetation over a steep grassy ridge. Descend eastwards from this, again aided by dwarf pines. After a few minutes of further ascent, we reach the Velika summit at 1539 m.
