Koča na Pikovem - Pikov vrh

Access to starting point:
We drive to Črna na Koroškem, and then we follow the signs for Podpeca and later Koča na Pikovem. We park on a parking lot near the mountain hut Koča na Pikovem.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the church of St. Helena and mountain hut Koča na Pikovem, after that behind the church we continue left on the path in the direction of Veliki vrh. The path ahead leads us on a worse macadam road which at first runs through the forest and then through meadows, from which a beautiful view opens up. Behind the homestead Pik the road changes into a cart track, and by the edge of the forest path on Pikov vrh branches off to the right.
We continue in the direction of Pikov vrh and we start ascending steeper through the forest on an unmarked path. Higher from the left joins the path from Pikovo znamenje, and in few minutes of additional walking, we get to Pikov vrh, where there is a lookout tower.
Description and pictures refer to a condition in the year 2018 (May).
