Access to the starting point:
Drive to the centre of Dravograd (to get here from Maribor via the Drava Valley or from Velenje via Slovenj Gradec), where the signs for Ojstrica direct us to the road which, after 6. 5 km, leads us to the Church of St John the Baptist on Ojstrica, near which we park in the parking lot.
Path description:
From the church parking lot, continue along the asphalt road, which quickly leads to a marked crossroads with a number of direction signs.
Continue right (straight on the usual route to Huhnerkogel) in the direction of the Church of St. Urban. The way ahead leads along a fairly scenic road, which you follow at the crossroads in the direction of St Urban.
After the Lonhtar farm, leave the signs for St. Urban and continue left on cart track in the direction of Košenjak.
The way ahead leads us on the wider newer logging trail, which climbs quite steeply, then go left on the marked path, which returns to the wider logging trail higher up. There are a few more switchbacks, where you follow the markings, and then through a slightly more sparse forest you reach the hunting lodge Bivak Piramida.
