Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Luce, then continue on to the Logar Valley. In the village Solčava, before the bridge over the river Savinjek, leave the road towards the Logar valley and continue to the right in the direction of Podolševa and Črna na Koroškem. After a climb of about 5 km, you reach a crossroads where you turn left towards the Holy Spirit (right Črna na Koroškem), and then take the Solčava panoramic road to the Strevc Tourist Farm, located below the Church of the Holy Spirit. From the main road to the starting point is about 8 km.
b) Take the Črna na Koroškem, then continue in the direction of Koprivna and Solčava. Continue along the valley of the Meži River for some time, then turn left towards Solčava and the Logarska dolina. From there it is a short descent to a crossroads, where you turn right towards Sv. Duh, and then follow the Solčava panoramic road to the Strevc Tourist Farm, which is located below the Church of Sv. Duh. From the centre of Črna na Koroškem, the starting point is about 23 km.
c) Via Border crossing Pavličev Vrh, we enter Slovenia and start descending towards Solčava. Shortly after the Majerhold Mountain Lodge, turn left towards Podolševa and Solčava panoramic road.

Path description:
From the starting point, follow the path in the direction of Olševa, St. Lenart and Potočka zijalka. Go around the Strevc Tourist Farm on the left, and the trail goes above the farm into the forest, where you continue for a short distance along cart track. You quickly reach a macadam road, which you follow up to a small crossroads.
From the crossroads, take a sharp right (straight ahead to St Lenart) and continue the ascent along the dirt road, where there are no signs. After a few minutes, we join the marked path that leads past the Rogar Tourist Farm, and we continue left on the path in the direction of Potočka zijalka, Obel kamna and Govce. We continue along a well-trodden and gradually steeper path, which reaches the state border at a higher altitude. After a few minutes of steep climbing, the path from Austria joins from the left.
Continue to the right and after another 10 minutes of climbing, you will reach the archaeological site Potočka zijalka.
Continue on the marked path, which bypasses the cave on the right and climbs up the right-hand side of a fairly steep ravine using the fixed safety gear. A little further on, cross the gully with the help of wedges and then climb steeply out of the gully. The path continues to be quite steep, and with every metre gained in altitude it becomes more and more scenic.
At a small ridge, the path splits and we continue straight towards Govca (left Obel kamen). Then we cross the steep slopes of Olševa, and on the more exposed parts, we are helped by a few rocks. The path then turns left and leads to a marked crossroads.
This time, continue left towards Obel kamen (straight Govca), where you first cross the slopes to the left and then start climbing steeply. The last part of the climb before reaching the ridge is technically more difficult and not guarded. Above the short, difficult part, you reach a scenic ridge, along and over which you continue until you reach Obel kamen, which you can identify by the boundary stone with No XXII 1.
From the top you can continue to the cross about 10 minutes away, where there is also a registration box.
