Podpeca (Mitnek) - Koča na Pikovem

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Črna na Koroškem (to here from Ravne na Koroškem or from Šoštanj over the mountain pass Spodnje Sleme), and then we continue driving towards Koprivna and Podpeca. Further on, we ascend along the river Meža, and we drive alongside it to the crossroad, where the road to Podpeca and Dom na Peci branches off to the right. Higher, near the homestead Mitnek, a macadam road towards Koča na Pikovem branches off to the right. Here we park in an appropriate place near the crossroad.
B) We drive to Luče (to here from Mozirje or from Kamnik over the mountain pass Volovljek (Kranjski Rak)), and then we continue driving towards Logarska dolina. In the village Solčava, we leave the main road towards Logarska dolina and continue driving to the right in the direction of Podolševa, mountain pass Spodnje Sleme and Črna na Koroškem. Further on, the road loses the asphalt covering, and after a few kilometers at the crossroad in Podolševa we turn right towards Črna na Koroškem. The road, which further mostly ascends transversely, brings us after some time to the mountain pass Spodnje Sleme. From the mountain pass, the road starts descending, and we follow it in the direction of Črna na Koroškem. When after a few kilometers we descend into the valley, at the crossroad we turn right towards Črna na Koroškem (left Koprivna). On the main road we descend towards Črna na Koroškem, and the road first leads us past the branch-off into the valley Topla, a little lower also to the branch-off of the road towards Podpeca and Dom na Peci. Higher, near the homestead Mitnek, a macadam road towards Koča na Pikovem branches off to the right. Here we park in an appropriate place near the crossroad.

Route description:
From the crossroad, we take the right road in the direction of Nagersko and Koča na Pikovem (straight ahead Mitnek and the road that continues towards Peca). At first we walk through the forest, after a few minutes we arrive out of the forest onto panoramic Nagersko, where there are a few homesteads. Behind the houses, the road returns into the forest, and we arrive along it at the church of St. Helena and a few steps further to the Koča na Pikovem.
