Access to starting point:
From the road Maribor - Dravograd, we will in the settlement Bresternica (on maps Brestrnica) notice signs for village Gaj, which point us to the right (from the direction Dravograd left). After few meters, at a poorly marked crossroad, we continue left and we follow the road which leads us through the village to the chapel, where we continue left. Mostly ascending road higher brings us to a crossroad by which we notice mountain signposts for Tojzlov vrh. Here, we continue left and we follow the road for approximately 1km to the next mountain signposts (this time for Žavcarjev vrh) by which we park on one of the smaller parking lots by the road.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a macadam road in the direction of Tojzlov vrh and hunting lodge. After 5 minutes of gentle walking on the road we come to the hunting cottage, where the path turns sharply left and the road changes into a cart track.
We continue the ascent on the mentioned cart track which is steeper and steeper ascending through the forest. The path higher brings us out of the forest, where it then continues by its edge. In moderate ascent by the edge of the forest, the path brings us to the road.
We can continue the ascent on a marked road, or on parallel cart track. In both cases we will after few minutes of additional walking come to the mountain hut.
From the hut, we continue on a cart track which slightly ascends and after few steps goes into the forest. This a gently sloping path we follow all the way to Tojzlov vrh, which we reach after less than 5 minutes of additional walking.
