At the end of the settlement (approximately 20 meters before the crossroad, where the road and footpath branch off to the left towards Koča na Pikovem) Črna na Koroškem, it turns right on a larger parking lot, where we park.
C) From Solčava over mountain pass Spodnje Sleme we drive to Črna na Koroškem, where at the roundabout we take the exit in the direction of Mežica. At the end of the settlement (approximately 20 meters before the crossroad, where the road and footpath branch off to the left towards Koča na Pikovem) Črna na Koroškem, it turns right on a larger parking lot, where we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the main road, where at the pedestrian crossing we carefully cross the main road, and then we continue right towards Mežica to the nearby crossroad, where we already notice signposts for mountain hut Koča na Pikovem, which point us to the left on a side road. The path ahead leads us on the asphalt road, where we go past few houses, and at the smaller crossroad, we continue right in the direction of Igrčevo (straight a marked path towards Koča na Pikovem).
Next follows an ascent in few hairpin turns and we get to Igrčevo, where we go past the entrance into an abandoned lead and zinc mine (today through the mentioned mine runs a tourist cycling path) and past few houses. Here, the asphalt ends, and the next house we bypass on the left side. Next follows some ascent, where when we look back a nice view opens up towards Črna na Koroškem, and the path only a little further brings us to the spot, where the cart track branches off slightly to the right. Here we continue slightly left, and at the next crossroad, we go right, where we go by the power line pole. We short time still continue through the forest and then we get to meadows, where the path branches off to the right towards another entrance into the mine, and we continue straight and we ascend to the next crossroad.
Here we go left (right another entrance into the mine) and we diagonally ascend to the homestead Merkač (as on the maps), where there is a smaller cross. From the mentioned homestead follows a little more of an ascent and we get to the homestead, for which on the maps we notice the name Mlačnik, where by the fenced area for wild animals continues a footpath which leads towards the homestead Šumah.
We continue on the mentioned footpath which in the forest goes a little away from the fenced place and is few minutes steeply ascending. Higher, we return to the fenced place and we quickly reach the macadam road which we follow to the left (right a homestead Šumah), and then we quickly get to a crossroad from which we continue sharply right in the direction of Mežica. A little further, the path leads us above the homestead Šumah, from where a beautiful view opens up, and at the smaller crossroad, we continue on a wider road, and only a little further we already get to a saddle Šumahovo sedlo, where there is a crossing.
From Šumahovo sedlo we go left on a wide cart track which from the saddle branches off towards the west. A little further quite a steep cart track splits, and we continue left, on a wider cart track which then through one more hairpin turn brings us on Veliki vrh, where there are transmitters, and on the nearby building also an inscription box with an inscription book.
Before the transmitters on the right we notice a footpath which diagonally descends on a smaller saddle west from Veliki vrh, and from the nearby crossing, we continue right in the direction of Pikov vrh (slightly left caves Pikove jame). The path continues with few ascents and descents, and mostly runs on a forested ridge. The path which isn't marked, only on few crossings it is marked, we then follow to a lookout tower on Pikov vrh.
The starting point - Šumahovo sedlo 1:30, Šumahovo sedlo - Veliki vrh 0:15, Veliki vrh - Pikov vrh 40 minutes.
