Access to the starting point:
Drive to the centre of Dravograd (to get here from Maribor via the Drava Valley or from Velenje via Slovenj Gradec), where the signs for Ojstrica direct us to the road which, after 6. 5 km, leads us to the Church of St John the Baptist on Ojstrica, near which we park in the parking lot.

Path description:
From the church parking lot, continue along the asphalt road, which quickly leads to a marked crossroads with a number of direction signs.

Continue right (straight on the usual route to Huhnerkogel) in the direction of the Church of St. Urban. The way ahead leads along a fairly scenic road, which you follow at the crossroads in the direction of St Urban. After the Lonhtar farm, the path to Huhnerkogel branches off to the left (past the hunting lodge Bivak Piramida), and a little further on, cross the Potoški graben stream. After the brook, at the marked crossroads, continue slightly left in the direction of St. Urban and Bogatec Farm (slightly right marked path to Pernice. Follow the signs towards the already known direction, but the higher path leads past a green barrier which prevents any further traffic. A little further on, at an unmarked junction, continue right, then climb gently for a while to the right. When the longer crossing is over, the road turns sharp left and leads to a meadow, in the middle of which stands the Church of St Urban.
To the right of the church, you will see signs for Pernice, which direct you to the path that continues along the border ridge. Climb gently through the forest for a while, then arrive at a marked crossroads where the signs for Kozji vrh direct you straight on (slightly left Pernice), on a path which will take you to the summit in less than a minute's walk.
