Access to the starting point:
We drive to the Ljubelj border crossing and on to the Austrian side. Shortly after, when you see a small church on the left side of the road, the road to the village of Žabnica / Bodental branches off to the left. At the crossroads after Slovenji Plajberk / Windisch Bleiberg turn left towards Žabnica / Bodental. In Žabnica / Bodental you will reach the mountain signs for Celovška koča / Klagenfurter Hütte to the left and right. Turn left and follow the road to the end of the asphalt, where you will park in the parking lot near the pasture fences.
Path description:
From the parking lot, take the forest road closed to traffic and marked "Marchenwiese". The forest road leads through the forest on a slight incline to a pleasant meadow, where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the northern walls of Vertatscha and Palec. Continue across the meadow where the path is more difficult to follow and on the other side look for cart track which goes slightly upwards into the forest. After walking for a few minutes along cart track, the signs direct us to the right onto a footpath which soon crosses a torrent along which it then climbs. The path then follows the torrent slightly to the right and leads us to a small clearing where the waymarked path directs us slightly further to the right. The path continues to climb steeply and after a good 30 minutes' walk leads us to a crossroads where we continue to the left (right Ogrisalm 5 minutes).
The steepness eases here and the path passes out of the forest between dwarf pines. Cross a scree slope and then descend gently downhill with the help of a rope ladder. From here on the path is exposed to falling rocks. Further on, the well-protected path starts to climb up a steep rocky slope. At the top of this easier climbing section, you will come to a sign-in box where you can sign in. The difficulty of the route disappears after this and in a traverse ascent you reach the Vrata saddle. The route continues to descend and in a few minutes leads to a crossroads where we continue right (straight Klagenfurter Hutte for 5 minutes).
The way forward begins to climb steeply up the less and less vegetated slope. After half an hour the steepness of the ascent eases slightly and the path continues along the grassy slope to the top of the hill on which the cross stands.
Starting point - Vrata 2:00, Vrata - Ovčji vrh 1:00.

Discussion about the trail Bodenbauer - Ovčji vrh (Kozjak) / Geissberg (Kosiak) (direct way)

V soboto prvič na Ovčjem vrhu. Vzpon opravil od Podnarja gor po Lovski poti do sedla vrata potem pa naravnost gor do vrha, od tam je sledil spust proti Celovški koči, od tam nazaj do sedla Vrata in potem po tej opisani poti do planine Ogris in nazaj v dolino. dolina Bodental malenkost spominja na Logarsko dolino. Z Ovčjega vrha je lep pogled proti Stolu, Bielščici, Celovški špici, Vajnežu, Vrtači in Palcu. Vsekakor tura, ki jo priporočam.
