Kurnikovo sedlo - Eisenkappler Hutte (footpath)

Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Jezerski vrh or Pavličev vrh we drive to Železno Kapla / Bad Eisenkappel, from there we continue driving towards the west in the direction of »Hochobir«. We follow this road approximately 3 km to a crossroad, where a signpost for »Eisenkappler Hütte« points us right onto the still asphalted road, which starts to ascend more steeply and brings us higher to the spot where a road toll is collected. Here we park on the marked parking lot.
In the winter time driving and parking are forbidden.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road which moderately ascends mostly through the forest. The road further crosses a few torrent streams and after one hour of walking brings us to Obirska planina.
From the mountain pasture, on which a shepherd hut stands, we continue on the road which soon makes a large right turn. After the turn, a marked footpath branches off to the left upwards, on which we go (it is also possible to continue on the road). The path, which starts to ascend a little steeper, crosses a cart track and through the forest in less than 30 minutes brings us to a poor forest road. The road brings us higher out of the forest and then turns left. After a few meters, the footpath directs onto the grassy slopes below the hut »Eisenkappler Hütte« to which only a few steps remain.

Along the route: Pečnikovo sedlo (1169m), Obirska planina (1272m)
