Mežica - Štalekarjev vrh (on ski slope)

Access to the starting point:
From Črna na Koroškem or from Raven na Koroškem, or via the Holmec border crossing or Mežica, drive to Mežica, where signs for the Mirje Cemetery direct you westwards onto the local road. Drive past the old cemetery and park in the marked parking area.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue up the asphalt road, and when the road turns left, leave it and continue straight on cart track in the direction of Pikovy. Continue along cart track, which climbs along the route of a former ski slope, and nowadays the Mežica disc golf course can be seen along the way. At first, looking back, you can still see Mežica and the surrounding hills, but then the trail, which has almost no markings, becomes a valley between a 729-metre-high hill on the left (an unnamed peak on the maps), and Štalekarjev vrh on the right. As the valley turns westwards, a marked path branches off the ski slope to the left, leading to Koča na Pikovem, and we continue along the former ski slope, which becomes a little steeper as it passes. Higher up, the ski slope narrows and turns sharply to the right, and when it widens again, in a few 10 steps we climb up to a lookout saddle.
From the saddle, which offers a beautiful view that reaches all the way to Golica / Koralpa, continue to the right and climb to the top of the former ski slope, and to climb to the highest point Štalekarjev vrh, look for the path on the right, which will take you to the top in a minute of further walking.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2018 (May).
