Pod Peco / Koprein-Petzen - Mountain hut on farm Kumer

Access to the starting point:
a) Via the Jezerski vrh or Pavličev vrh border crossing, drive to Belo / Bad Vellach and from there continue to Železna Kapla / Bad Eisenkappel. At the beginning of Železna Kapla, you will see signs for Leppen, which point you to the right. Continue along a slightly narrower asphalted road, which initially runs along the valley floor and then begins to climb steeply at the hamlet of Koprivna / Koprein - Sonnseite. Higher up, you reach the hamlet Pod Peco / Koprein - Petzen, where the starting point of the route to Topitza / Topitza and the Riepl Inn is. Here you continue straight on the initially still asphalted road, which leads you past the Church of All Faiths. Just above the church, the asphalt ends and the road begins to descend. After a short descent, you arrive at a small crossroads, where you continue to the right in the direction of Pec and St. Anna (further along the main road Globasnica / Globasnitz). From the crossroads, you drive for a short distance and then arrive at a ramp near which you park in a suitable space.
b) From Dravograd or Slovenj Gradec, take the Ravne na Koroškem, then continue in the direction of Border crossing Holmec. Once in Austria, first drive towards Pliberk / Bleiburg, then follow the signs for Globasnica / Globasnitz. After about 13 km from Border crossing Holmec, you will arrive in Globasnitz, from where you continue driving to the left towards the upper part of the town. From Globasnica, follow the narrower and ascending road towards the hamlet of Pod Peco / Koprein - Petzen. Continue climbing along the Globasnica ravine for some time, and then the road leads to an undistinguished precipice, where you reach a small crossroads. Here, where you see the signs for Peca, continue left onto a side road, which quickly leads down to a nearby ramp near which you park in a suitable place.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue past the ramp and follow the road down to the junction at the edge of mountain pasture Spodnja Luža in a few minutes.
Here the marked Austrian trail to Pec or Feistritzer Spitze branches off to the left, and we continue straight on in the direction of the mountain home on the Kumer farm. The path leads us across the vast mountain pasture, then passes along the edge of the forest and splits into two parts. Take the lower, less favourable road, which descends along the edge of the forest to the state border and cross it. After a few metres of walking on the Slovenian side, we join a wider macadam road, and we continue our descent. A little lower down, continue right up the marked cart track towards St. Anne and Mountain hut on farm Kumer (the road continues straight on towards Koprivna and the marked path towards Pec). After a short climb, the cart track, which we follow, is laid down, and then continues cross-wise to the left. At the end of the crossing, there is a short descent to a nearby road, after which you can walk to the nearby mountain lodge.
