Bresternica (Šiker) - Planinski dom Kozjak

Access to starting point:
From the road Maribor - Dravograd, we will, in the settlement Bresternica (on maps Brestrnica), notice signs for the village Gaj, which direct us to the right (from the direction of Dravograd, to the left). After a few meters, at a poorly marked intersection, we continue left and follow the road which leads us through the village to the chapel, where we continue left. The mostly ascending road brings us higher to an intersection by which we notice mountain signposts for Tojzlov vrh. Here, we continue left and follow the road for approximately 1 km to the next mountain signposts (this time for Žavcarjev vrh) by which we park on one of the several smaller parking lots by the road.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the macadam road in the direction of Tojzlov vrh and the hunting lodge. After 5 minutes of gentle walking along the road, we reach the hunting cottage, where the path turns sharply left and changes from road into a cart track.
We continue the ascent along the mentioned cart track, which ascends ever more steeply through the forest. The path brings us higher out of the forest, where it then continues along its edges. In a moderate ascent along the edge of the forest, the path brings us to the road.
We can continue the ascent along the marked road or along the parallel cart track. In both cases, after a few minutes of further walking, we will arrive at the mountain hut.

We recommend: similar trips, panorama, summit register
