Access to starting point:
From the road Maribor - Dravograd, we will notice in the settlement Bresternica (on maps Brestrnica) signs for the village Gaj, which direct us to the right (from the direction Dravograd to the left). After a few meters, at a poorly marked crossroads, we continue left and follow the road which leads us through the village to the chapel, where we continue left. The mostly ascending road brings us higher to a crossroads by which we notice mountain signposts for Tojzlov vrh. Here, we continue left and follow the road which continues gradually ascending to the road sign 7.5km. Only a few meters before the mentioned sign we will notice by the road a parking lot and hiking signposts.
Route description:
A warning! Due to passage through private property, the path is no longer passable and is closed. Data from the year 2024.
From the parking lot, we return a few meters back, cross a small bridge, and then proceed on a footpath in the direction of Žavcarjev vrh. The marked path which runs on a cart track, soon goes into the forest, where it is then moderately ascending. Higher, the cart track turns to the left, comes out of the forest and only a little after that, it brings us to a hamlet with a few houses.
We continue the ascent on the road for some time, and then blazes point us to the left on a footpath which ascends by the edge of the forest. The path soon goes into the forest, where we soon come to the chapel, where the path turns a little towards the left. Further, we are ascending on at first gently sloping path, which higher a little steeper ascends and then it brings us to a forest road which we only cross (right Sveti Duh na Ostrem vrhu).
We continue in the direction of Žavcarjev vrh on the path which continues with some shorter ascents and descents. The path from which occasionally a view opens up, soon brings us to a forest road which we then follow to the mountain hut.
From the mountain hut, we continue past the chapel on a marked path in the direction of Žavcarjev vrh. The path goes immediately into the forest and starts moderately ascending. This path, which all the time runs through the forest, we follow to the top.

Hiked this on Sunday, excellently marked, interesting places, no views on the path itself nor at the summit. The video recording is of course weather-appropriate

The path is not passable, as after about 30 minutes of walking it is blocked by signs private property, fierce dog and electric fence.

ap21 - Where is the path blocked? When you reach the meadow after the first steep section from the forest to the first houses?
That it would really be blocked would surprise me, since path no. 1 runs through Kozjak here. Of course, the sense of private property often blinds other interests.

Yes, it's closed there and markers removed.

Their dog attacked me and my friend at that house.
The mountaineering club, as far as I know, later slightly changed the path. Now it goes right along the forest.

Under the house across the road there is an electric fence and a sign, private property, beware of fierce dog, passage at own risk. Continued on the cart track, unleashed German shepherd luckily with owner. He warned that there is no longer a path here. At the houses warned again if I hadn't seen the sign and that there is no longer a path here. Unfortunately, I didn't see any alternative path at the closure. The cart track, access road has been widened here.
