Pod Peco / Koprein-Petzen - Mountain hut on farm Kumer

Access to starting point:
A) Via the border crossing Jezerski vrh or Pavličev vrh we drive to Bela / Bad Vellach, and from there we continue driving towards Železna Kapla / Bad Eisenkappel. At the beginning of Železna Kapla we notice signs for Lepena / Leppen, which point us to the right. Further, we drive on a somewhat narrower asphalt road, which leads us first along the bottom of the valley, and then at the hamlet Koprivna / Koprein - Sonnseite it starts to ascend more steeply. Higher up, we arrive at the hamlet Pod Peco / Koprein - Petzen, where the starting point of the path to Topica / Topitza and the inn Riepl are located. Here we continue straight on the initially still asphalted road, which further leads past the church of all faiths. A little above the church the asphalt ends, and the road starts to descend. After a short descent we arrive at a smaller crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Peca and St. Anne (straight ahead on the main road to Globasnica / Globasnitz). From the crossroad we drive only a short time longer, then we arrive at a gate near which we park in a suitable spot.
B) From Dravograd or Slovenj Gradec we drive to Ravne na Koroškem, then we continue driving in the direction of the border crossing Holmec. When we enter Austria, we first drive towards Pliberk / Bleiburg, then we follow the signs for Globasnica / Globasnitz. After approximately 13 km from the border crossing Holmec we arrive in Globasnica, from where we continue driving left towards the upper part of the settlement. From Globasnica we continue on a narrower and ascending road in the direction of the hamlet Pod Peco / Koprein - Petzen. Further on, we ascend along Globaška grapa for quite some time, then the road brings us to an indistinct saddle, where we arrive at a smaller crossroad. Here, where we notice signs for Peca, we continue left onto a side road, along which we quickly descend to the nearby gate near which we park in a suitable spot.

Route description:
From the parking lot we continue past the gate and along the road in a few minutes descend to the crossroad at the edge of the mountain pasture Spodnja Luža.
Here to the left branches off the marked Austrian path to Peca or to Bistriška špica, while we continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut on the Kumer farm. The path ahead leads us across an extensive mountain pasture, then it passes along the edge of the forest and splits into two parts. We choose the lower worse road, along which along the edge of the forest we descend to the state border and also cross it. After a few meters of walking on the Slovenian side we join a wider macadam road, and we continue the descent along it. Somewhat lower we continue right uphill on the marked cart track towards St. Anne and the mountain hut on the Kumer farm (straight ahead the road continues towards Koprivna and the marked path towards Peca). After a short ascent the cart track along which we continue levels out, then continues traversely to the left. At the end of the traverse there follows a short descent to the nearby road, along which we walk to the nearby mountain hut.
