Path description:
On the other side of the railway line, turn right and then left before the Agricultural Forestry Cooperative Koroška onto the ascending asphalt road. Continue on the asphalt road to a serpentine on the near right, from where you continue straight ahead in the direction of the marked trail (there are some parking possibilities near the crossroads). Follow the dirt road uphill to a nearby house, after which the road turns into a cart track, after which you continue climbing through the woods. Climb cart track for a few minutes and then reach the area affected by the windstorm. Here, take the cart track to the right onto a well-maintained path which, with fine views, climbs over a slope that is slowly becoming overgrown. The well-maintained path makes a few serpentines, then climbs crosswise to the Skala lookout point, where there is a registration box and from where a fine view opens up in the direction of Dravograd.
