Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the macadam road in the direction of Šteharski vrh. We soon get to the right hairpin turn, from which a nice view opens up on Dravograd Lake. A little further, we get to a crossroad, where we go left, and then the road flattens and leads us through a larger plain, where on the right we see forested Šteharski vrh. At the end of the plain we get to the settlement Dobrova pri Dravogradu, where at the crossroads we follow the signs for Šteharski vrh and Sv. Križ.
At one of the houses in the settlement we continue left on a macadam road, on which we diagonally ascend to a water catchment, and after the water catchment we continue right upwards. Next follows a short steeper ascent, crossing of an asphalt road, and then we already get to the church of Sv. Križ, from which a beautiful view opens up.
From the church, we descend on stairs to the inscription box, and then we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of Šteharski vrh. Higher, the asphalt ends, and the road leads us past a few more smaller crossroads, where we follow the signs for the already several times mentioned summit. A quite panoramic road, a little further from the homestead Lagojet, gradually passes into the forest, where we go right on a cart track. After a short ascent, from the left a marked path from the farm Lipovnik also joins, and the path a little ahead brings us by the upper edge of a panoramic hay meadow, from which a nice view opens up towards Uršlja gora, Kamnik-Savinja Alps and Peca. Above the marked part the path passes into the forest and continues ascending on and along the east to southeast ridge of Šteharski vrh. Next follows some ascent on the part which was in December 2017 heavily damaged by windthrow, therefore in some parts it is necessary to make a few detours left or right from the marked path. In the last part, the path flattens and with a passing view on Golica / Koralpe brings us to the 1018 meters high peak.
