Path description:
Before the mountain hut on the right side, where there is also an information board, we go slightly uphill through the forest. Then the path starts slowly descending to monument, which marks the last battle of Pohorje battalion ("20 min). Immediately after the main monument, the path goes right - signpost for Pesek and Ribniška koča - and in few minutes brings us to the cart track, on which signpost for Tri žeblji points us left downwards to a stream ("10 min). We cross the stream and we start slightly ascending, the path bypasses the peak on the right side, and again follows a descent to the next stream ("25 min). We bypass Jodlov vrh on the western side and we get to Tri žeblji, characteristic area of Pohorje clearings on a light plain ("20 min). From the right side joins the path from Šumik, and we continue straight to the next crossing ("15 min). Signpost for Klopni vrh points us right downwards on the path through wet terrain, and then we for a short time again ascend on the eastern slope of Kurji hrib and then through a wide clearing we descend to a forest road which a little ahead ends ("20 min). If we have enough time, we view lake Tiho jezero, to which on a marked path we come in 5 minutes, which is also pointed out by signpost, and then we return on the same path. Our path crosses a forest road and turns into the forest, where at first it is along the stream slightly rising, then follows a light descent. From the right side joins a marked path from Areh and Šumik, which is part of variant SPP number 1, we cross two more smaller streams and we get to a good cart track which on the plain brings us to NOB monument on the left side ("25 min). At this spot on 1941/09/17 Pohorje unit the first time in open combat defeated the Germans, in the battle died Franc Soklič–Brko. Further our path leads straight and slightly downwards and passes on the forest road, and from the right side a view starts opening up. On the left side, we get to the turn-off of the path for Pesek, at the crossroad of forest roads we go straight and we get to the destination (" 15 min).
