Access to the starting point:
Cross the Ljubelj border crossing and descend to the Austrian side, then take the Bistrica v Rožu / Feistritz exit at the second roundabout (just before the bridge over the River Drava). Continue to the above-mentioned place, where signs for Rute / Bärental direct you to the left on the ascending road, which after a few km leads you to the above-mentioned village, where you park in a roadside parking lot (there are signs for Barentaler Kotschna / Barentaler Kotschna next to the parking lot).
Path description:
From the parking lot, turn right onto the asphalt road towards "Bärensattel". After a few dozen steps, the road leads to the Stouhütte inn, after which you leave the inn and take the footpath in the direction of "Bärensattel". The path then turns left just after a small flight of steps and crosses a dirt road at a slightly higher level. Continue up a pleasant forest path, which leads you higher up to the partly abandoned Žnidar farm, where you take a sharp left. The path goes on into the forest again and, after a short moderate climb, leads us to a hunting observatory (if we climb to the top, we get a nice view across the Drava Valley). The way forward gradually becomes steeper and steeper and leads us higher under smaller cliffs, where our pleasant walk is stopped by rubble, after which we have to climb steeply up (taking care especially when descending). The steepness then subsides and the path leads us past an intermittent spring to the Medvedjak / Bärensattel saddle.
Here we continue straight on (right Barentaler Kotschna) and after some 10 steps of further walking, we reach the hut at mountain pasture Seča.
