Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we drive on the highway towards Beljak, which we leave on the first exit. From the point, when we left the highway, we follow the signs for Šentjakob v Rožu / Sankt Jakob im Rosental. When we get to the mentioned settlement we leave the main road and we continue driving right in the direction of the settlement Podrožca / Rosenbach. After few kilometers of additional driving, we get near the railway station in Podrožca, where we continue left downwards, and then at the next crossroad right in the direction of valley Medji Dol / Bärental. Further, we drive on a little narrower asphalt road which we follow to the first crossroad, by which we notice hiking signposts. We park at an appropriate place by the road.
From toll station in Hrušica to the starting point, there is approximately 23 km.
Path description:
From the starting point, we go on the left road following the signs Rožca / Rosenbachsattel (straight Kepa / Mittagskogel). The road at first crosses a bridge through stream Gračenica / Schönbrunnen, and then starts at first gently, and later moderately ascending through the forest. Further, we are for quite some time ascending on the forest road, and then we get to a marked crossroad at an altitude 900 meters.
Here a road towards Golica / Kahlkogel branches off to the left, and we continue slightly right in the direction of Rožca. From the crossing ahead the road for some time descends to the nearby stream, which then also crosses. On the other side of the stream, we again start ascending, and marked path splits into two parts. We can continue further on the road, or left on a marked footpath which starts ascending steeper and continues through the forest. The path higher returns on the road and at the sharp right turn again leaves it. We continue through the forest, on occasionally steeper and in the upper part also more overgrown slope. Higher, we join the cart track and we follow it to the left. From the cart track soon the path branches off to the left towards Rožca, and we continue straight and we follow the cart track almost to its end. At the end of the cart track stands a smaller wooden cottage, and only few meters before it we turn right on again steeper footpath. The path soon gets very close to the nearby forest road, and we still continue on a marked path, and it turns a little to the right. Higher, the path flattens and crosses a grazing fence, and behind it we quickly step on already several times mentioned road. We reach the road at the memorial plaque, and we only cross it and we continue the ascent on a poorly visible footpath which ascends on the pasture to the near cottage.
Above cottage marked path turns to the right and it ascends diagonally through a lane of a forest. When we step out of the forest, the footpath starts vanishing. We continue the ascent on a grassy slope, on which we start ascending steeper by rarer blazes. Mostly grassy slope higher flattens, and footpath becomes a little easier to follow. The path ahead leads us also past a watering-place for animals, after which we gradually pass on a ridge, on which we then in few minutes ascend on a panoramic peak.
From Koprivnjak we continue towards the southwest, at first on the path which continues on a ridge and then from the ridge we gradually avoid a little to the left, where we cross at first gentle, after that little steeper slopes. In the last part of the crossing, the path from pastures passes on a slightly vegetated slopes, after which we continue all the way to the spot, where we reach the national border.
When we reach the border ridge we continue left (right mountain pasture Dovška Rožca and Dovška Baba), and the path on which we continue immediately splits.
We still continue on a border ridge (right path bypasses Hruški vrh), only that the path gradually starts moderately ascending. After approximately 10 minutes of a moderate ascent, with increasingly beautiful views, which reach far on all sides, we reach the chapel of St. Izidor on Hruški vrh.
Podrožca - Koprivnjak 3:30, Koprivnjak - Hruški vrh 30 minutes.
On the way: Kleiner Frauenkogel/Koprivnjak (1754m)
