Koča Planinc - Mala Kopa

Access to starting point:
We drive to Vuzenica, then follow the signs for Kope and the settlement of Sv. Primož na Pohorju. The road continues through Vuzenica for a while longer, then we arrive at the settlement of Sv. Primož na Pohorju. We then follow the signs for Kremžarjev vrh and Koča Planinc. Higher up, we follow the signs for the Kope ski resort and Koča Planinc; upon arriving at the parking lot at the base of the Kope ski resort, we turn sharply right towards Koča Planinc. A further few hundred meters of driving follows and we reach the parking lot located in front of Koča Planinc.

Route description:
From the parking lot we walk to Koča Planinc, behind the hut we cross a small flat grassy section, then arrive at a marked junction.
We continue left uphill towards Mala Kopa (straight ahead Koča pod Kremžarjevim vrhom and Vuzenica) and gradually ascend to the forested ridge of Tajzljev vrh, where at several junctions we follow the trail markings. The path ahead mostly follows cart tracks, higher up it levels off and then via a gentle trail leads us out of the forest, joining the path from over Kremžarjev vrh, or from the starting point at Brneško sedlo.
We continue straight across the road, then start ascending a cart track that initially leads through the forest. Higher up the cart track turns into a steep path, which continues ascending for a while along the edge of the ski slope, offering beautiful views. When we move slightly right from the ski slope, a marked footpath from Vuhred joins from the left, but we continue straight through a belt of raspberry bushes and in a few minutes of further walking ascend to Partizanski dom Kope.
We bypass Partizanski dom on the left and continue along the gravel road. Just a few dozen steps further the road forks, we continue straight on the unmarked road (right to Grmovškov dom and Velika Kopa and holiday houses settlement), which shortly ahead, where we return to the ski slope, ends or turns into a cart track. A steeper ascent follows along the ski slope route, but we follow the increasingly panoramic path to the indistinct summit of Mala Kopa.
Starting point - Partizanski dom Kope 1:20, Partizanski dom Kope - Mala Kopa 0:15.
