Access to starting point:
We drive to Slovenj Gradec, from where we continue towards the settlement Legen and the ski resort Kope. We further follow the signs for Kope, while we follow the ascending road to a larger parking lot at the ski resort Kope.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk past Grmovškov dom under Velika Kopa and past other tourist and catering facilities to the saddle Pungart, from where we continue right in the direction of Črni vrh and Ribniška koča (left Velika Kopa and Koča pod Kremžarjevim vrhom). At first, we ascend along a shorter ski lift, then we continue the path on a poorer macadam road, which brings us in a few minutes to a fenced area, where we continue along the wooden fence. A little higher, the road passes to the inner side of the fence, but we continue left along the fence, where the mountain path continues. A little higher, we return to the road, which has meanwhile become a wider cart track, and we still ascend along the fence for some time, then the path flattens and leaves the fenced area. On the flat section, the path towards Mislinja branches off to the right, and we continue straight and gradually start to ascend moderately again. A little higher from the junction we continue slightly left (straight Črni vrh) and through the meadow we enter the forest, where we cross the slopes of Črni vrh. After a shorter crossing, a few minutes longer path also joins us from the right, which leads over Črni vrh, and we continue straight and gradually start to descend. On a smaller saddle, the path from Mislinja also joins from the right, and we follow the blazes and signs for Ribniška koča and gradually start to ascend easily. Higher, we bypass a fenced private cottage on the right side, behind it we arrive at the accumulation lake on Mali Črni vrh, from where a beautiful view opens up.
From Mali Črni vrh we continue slightly left from the poor road onto a marked path, along which we quickly descend to Ribniška koča.
Starting point - Mali Črni vrh 1:35, Mali Črni vrh - Ribniška koča 0:05.
