border crossing Matjaševci - Grenzgasthaus Mertschnigg

Access to starting point:
A) From the road Gorenji Petrovci - Kuzma, after the settlement Dolič we turn right towards Matjaševci. In Matjaševci we turn left in the direction of Austria and Tromejnik - Vinska turistična cesta Tromejnik (wine-tourist road) (straight - Trdkova and Tromejnik - Gozdna učna pot Tromejnik (forest learning trail)) and we drive to the border crossing Matjaševci, where we park.
B) We drive into the center of Kuzma, where at the roundabout we go to the exit in the direction of Tromejnik. At the next crossroads, we follow the signs for Tromejnik, when we get to the border crossing Matjaševci we park on an appropriate place.

Path description:
From the starting point, we head onto the road that continues southwest (the road northeast leads to Tromejnik) and initially offers beautiful views towards Austria, then arrives at a hamlet with a few houses in the settlement Matjaševci. When the hamlet ends, a beautiful view towards the Slovenian side opens on the left, and then at two consecutive crossroads, we keep to the slightly left directions. The road then enters the forest and, after a short descent, ascends to the saddle between Jaklovim breg on the left and the peak Schneiderkogel on the right Austrian side.
Here we turn right (left on the asphalt road to Kuzma) and bypass the nearby house on the Austrian side on the left. We continue on the macadam road, which still follows the national border; a little further, at a bench and table, an unmarked path branches off to the left downward towards the hamlet Samidraš. Next comes a short ascent, and at a smaller saddle, we reach an interesting sandy area noticeable by the path. An easy descent follows, and passing individual houses, we arrive at the inn Grenzgasthaus Mertschnigg.
