Access to the starting point:
a) Take the road to Črna na Koroškem, then follow the signs for Koprivno. At the forks where the roads to Podpeca, Topla, Logarska dolina branch off and at the following crossroads follow the signs for Olševa. Higher up, the asphalt finally ends, and we continue our ascent along the forest road, which we follow to the mountain signs at Zadnji travnik, where we park.
b) Drive to Solčava, then follow the signs for Črna na Koroškem. Then ascend to the pass Spodnje Sleme and descend to Črna na Koroškem and Koprivna. When you reach the valley, continue left to the junction with the road leading from Koprivna to Črna na Koroškem, and at the next junctions follow the signs for Olševa. Higher up, the asphalt finally ends, and we continue our ascent along the forest road, which we follow to the mountain signs at Zadnji travnik, where we park.
Path description:
From the starting point, the signs for Olševe direct us to the folded cart track, which we walk along for a few minutes, and then the signs direct us to a footpath that climbs through the forest. At a higher level, return to cart track and follow the signs at the crossroads. When the cart track turns slightly to the right, the markings point slightly to the left, onto a path that begins to climb steeply through the forest. A few minutes of ascent through the forest is followed by reaching the hunting bivouac of Foršnerca, where you leave the marked trail.
To the right of the hut, you will see a well-worn path which continues quite gently for a short time, then leads under the cliffs, where the path turns right and crosses a small scree slope. After the scree, the path returns to the forest, and continues to climb crosswise to the right. During the crossing, two overgrown streams are crossed, and then the path splits.
The overgrown hunting trail continues straight ahead, and we continue left on a less well-beaten, but at first still mostly traceable, path that begins to climb through the forest. Higher up, the track starts to disappear, but soon we emerge from the forest, where we see a hunting observation post. Climb up to the observation post, then continue the cross-climb to the right. A faint track leads across an abandoned pasture to the right, where the track becomes traceable again. Higher up, the path turns right again, and then follows an occasionally overgrown path up to the ridge of Olševa, where it joins the marked Sveti Duh - Olševa trail.
Follow the trail to the left, and within a few minutes' scenic walk you will reach the top of Govca, the highest peak of Olševa.
Last meadow - hunting bivouac 0:40, hunting bivouac - Govca 1:05.
