Access to starting point:
From the road Maribor - Dravograd, in the settlement Bresternica (on maps Brestrnica) we will notice signs for the village Gaj, which direct us to the right (from the direction of Dravograd to the left). After a few meters, at a poorly marked intersection, we continue left and follow the road that leads us through the settlement to the chapel, where we continue left. The mostly ascending road brings us higher to an intersection, where we notice mountaineering signposts for Tojzlov vrh. Here we continue left and follow the road that is still gradually ascending to the road sign 7.5 km. Just a few meters before the mentioned sign we will notice by the road a parking lot and hiking signposts.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we return a few meters back, cross a small bridge and head on a footpath in the direction of Žavcarjev vrh. The marked path, which runs on a cart track, soon goes into the forest, where it then moderately ascends. Higher the cart track turns to the left, exits the forest and shortly after brings us to a hamlet with a few houses.
We continue the ascent for some time on the road, then the blazes direct us left onto a footpath that ascends along the edge of the forest. The path soon goes into the forest, where we reach a chapel, at which the path turns slightly to the left. Further we ascend on an initially gentle path, which higher becomes somewhat steeper and then brings us to a forest road, which we only cross (right Sveti Duh na Ostrem Vrhu).
From the road we continue slightly left in the direction of Žavcarjev vrh, where we walk a few dozen steps on a wider cart track, from which we then go left onto a marked narrower cart track. Further we temporarily leave the forest, then return into it and after a short descent also return to the macadam road. We continue through the forest, from the nearby intersection we go right in the direction of the marked road (left continues Pot grebenskih kmetij) and then in a minute of further walking arrive at Koča na Žavcarjevem vrhu.
From the hut we continue right in the direction of Žavcarjev vrh, where we walk on a well-trodden path through the forest. After a few minutes of ascent we turn onto a slightly left cart track, on which we quickly reach the 915 m high summit.
We bypass the summit logbook on the left side, then begin descending through the forest on an unmarked trail. Lower we join a cart track, which we follow straight ahead (from the right a somewhat shorter path joins, which branches off from the marked path at picture no. 15). A little further the path stops descending, at the junction of cart tracks we take the one that begins ascending again. During the ascent we keep to the left directions, so that we reach the indistinct summit via the equally indistinct eastern ridge.
Starting point - Koča na Žavcarjevem vrhu 1:50, Koča na Žavcarjevem vrhu - Žavcarjev vrh 0:10, Žavcarjev vrh - Možičev vrh 0:15.
