Koprivna (Kumer) - Čofatijev vrh (via Šoparjev vrh)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Luče (to here from Kamnik over mountain pass Volovjek (Kranjski Rak) or from Štajerska highway and past Mozirje and through Ljubno ob Savinji), and then we continue driving in the direction of valley Logarska dolina. When we get to Solčava we leave the main road and we continue driving right towards Črna na Koroškem. Further, we drive on an ascending road which at the crossroads we follow in the direction of Črna na Koroškem and mountain pass Spodnje Sleme. From the mountain pass ahead the road starts descending, and we follow it to the spot, where we join the road Črna na Koroškem - Koprivna. Here we continue left and then at the next crossroad approximately 1 km ahead right towards the mountain hut on farm Kumer. Further, we are ascending by the stream Koprivna, and we follow the road to a crossroad, where the road branches off sharply to the left towards the earlier mentioned mountain hut, straight the road continues towards the mountain pasture Luža, and to the right, a marked path branches off on Peca (the latter at first runs on the road as well). We park on an appropriate place by the road.
B) From Koroška we at first drive to Črna na Koroškem, and then we continue driving towards Podpeca and Koprivna. At the crossroad, where a road towards Podpeca branches off to the right, we continue slightly left, and also at the next crossroad, where a road branches off to the right into a valley of Topla. Ahead we for some time still drive by the river Meža, and then we first get to a crossroad, where a road branches off to the left towards the mountain pass Spodnje Sleme and forward towards the valley Logarska dolina. Here we continue straight, and then at the next crossroad approximately 1 km ahead right towards the mountain hut on farm Kumer. Further, we are ascending by the stream Koprivna, and we follow the road to a crossroad, where the road branches off sharply to the left towards the earlier mentioned mountain hut, straight the road continues towards the mountain pasture Luža, and to the right, a marked path branches off on Peca (the latter at first runs on the road as well). We park on an appropriate place by the road.
C) First, we drive to Šoštanj, and then we continue driving on a winding road towards Črna na Koroškem. In Črna na Koroškem we continue left in the direction of Podpeca and Koprivna. At the crossroad, where a road towards Podpeca branches off to the right, we continue slightly left, and also at the next crossroad, where a road branches off to the right into a valley of Topla. Ahead we for some time still drive by the river Meža, and then we first get to a crossroad, where a road branches off to the left towards the mountain pass Spodnje Sleme and forward towards the valley Logarska dolina. Here we continue straight, and then at the next crossroad approximately 1 km ahead right towards the mountain hut on farm Kumer. Further, we are ascending by the stream Koprivna, and we follow the road to a crossroad, where the road branches off sharply to the left towards the earlier mentioned mountain hut, straight the road continues towards the mountain pasture Luža, and to the right, a marked path branches off on Peca (the latter at first runs on the road as well). We park on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point in Koprivna we continue on the right road in the direction of Šopar, Ledrovec, Topla and the marked path on Peca (straight and then after few meters sharply left Kumer). The road, on which we continue quickly splits, and we choose a slightly left road (right Šopar and Debelak), from which after approximately 10 minutes marked footpath branches off to the left on Peca.
We still continue on the macadam road which past the chapel comes out of the forest, where with nice views, we reach homestead Ledrovec. Above the homestead road makes few hairpin turns, and then it returns into the forest. When we return into the forest, the road gradually flattens, after that for some time in a gentle ascent crosses slopes towards the left.
When the road starts lightly descending, we reach the saddle between the valleys Koprivna and Topla, and by the snow gauge we continue right on a cart track. Cart track quickly passes into a dense forest and then we follow unmarked path to the nearby Šoparjev vrh, from which a nice view opens up towards Peca and Topla.
From Šoparjev vrh, where there is a larger clearing and to where lead few wider cart tracks, we continue towards the south to southeast, where we at first walk on a cart track by the edge of the forest, and the cart track quickly passes into the forest. Through the forest the path continues mostly on a forested ridge and the direction most of the time remains the same. At first the path is quite gentle, occasionally it even descends a little, and in the second part, the path starts at first lightly, and in the last part a little steeper ascending. At few crossings we follow the ridge path, on which we then get to a panoramic, but still a little vegetated Čofatijev vrh.
The starting point - Šoparjev vrh 1:10, Šoparjev vrh - Čofatijev vrh 35 minutes.
