Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Črna na Koroškem, where from the roundabout in the center of the settlement, we go to the exit towards Koprivna. At the next crossroad, we go slightly right, so that over the bridge we cross river Meža, and next to it we then continue driving. Črna na Koroškem then ends, on the main road, we drive to TIC Topla, where we go right into a valley Topla. Further, we drive through the valley Topla, where the road makes two hairpin turns, after that a little ahead from climbing area in Topla (climbing area Burjakove peči) we come out of the forest, and we drive to a smaller chapel, which is situated near the homestead Burjak. We park on an appropriate place nearby.
B) We drive to Solčava, and then we follow the signs for Črna na Koroškem. Next follows an ascent on the mountain pass Spodnje Sleme, and from there descent towards Koprivna. Lower, we drive by river Meža and we are still driving in the direction of Črna na Koroškem. When a road branches off to the left into a valley Topla we continue left, further we drive through the valley Topla, where the road makes two hairpin turns, after that a little ahead from climbing area in Topla (climbing area Burjakove peči) we come out of the forest, and we drive to a smaller chapel, which is situated near the homestead Burjak. We park on an appropriate place nearby.
Path description:
At the chapel, we continue right on a side road which over a bridge brings us to the farm Burjak. Structure we bypass on the right side and then starts ascending through meadow. Higher, the path brings us to the next farm, and a little ahead we reach an asphalt road which leads to the near farm Florin. Behind the houses, the asphalt ends, and blazes point us right on a cart track, and by it we notice also signposts for mountain hut Dom na Peci. We continue on at first still panoramic cart track, and then the path passes into the forest. Cart track we soon leave because blazes point us to footpath which higher few more times crosses a cart track. Higher for quite some time, we walk through the forest and we cross old, partly already fallen grazing fence, behind which we step on abandoned mountain pasture Javorje, which is today overgrown with fern. On the mountain pasture, where we again cross the cart track, stands a hunting cottage, and we continue on an overgrown footpath which on the right side bypasses the mentioned cottage. Above cottage we two more times cross the cart track, and then we continue on a footpath which is not overgrown with fern, but high grass. The orientation on this part is quite difficult, and we are ascending mostly upwards and slightly towards the right. On the upper part of overgrown part we notice big wooden blaze, and there path goes right in the forest, where becomes easier to follow. Next follows an ascent through the forest, and after the hovel we again step on a cart track which we few times cross, and higher marked path leads a little left from it. When the path higher brings us to wooden log cabin, which we bypass on the right side and on still quite an overgrown path we ascend to a marked path which starts at mine in Topla and leads towards the mountain hut Dom na Peci.
Well beaten marked path we follow to the right, and it quickly flattens and through a large clearing brings us to a marked crossing.
We continue sharply right in the direction of the cave of King Matjaž (left - Mala Peca 3 minutes, straight - Dom na Peci 5 minutes) and we slightly descend to the next crossing. We go again right (left - Dom na Peci) and in few minutes of crossing or light descent we get to the cave of King Matjaž.
