Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway we take the exit Kranj - east and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. From Zgornje Jezersko we continue driving over the alpine pass Jezerski vrh to Železna Kapla / Bad Eisenkappel, where we turn left in the direction of the settlement Šajda / Zell Schaida. Further, we drive through the valley of the Obirski potok stream, and we follow the road only to the inn Obir Pepi, where we turn right in the direction of the mountain hut Eisenkappler Hütte. The road then starts ascending steeper and brings us higher to Kurnikovo sedlo (997 m), where a road toll is collected. A few more kilometers of driving follow and a quite winding road brings us to a large parking lot at the mountain hut Eisenkappler Hütte.
B) From Štajerska we first drive to Mozirje, then continue driving towards Logarska dolina and later towards Pavličevo sedlo. From Pavličevo sedlo we descend into Bela / Bad Vellach, then continue driving towards Železna Kapla / Bad Eisenkappel, where we turn left in the direction of the settlement Šajda / Zell Schaida. Further, we drive through the valley of the Obirski potok stream, and we follow the road only to the inn Obir Pepi, where we turn right in the direction of the mountain hut Eisenkappler Hütte. The road then starts ascending steeper and brings us higher to Kurnikovo sedlo (997 m), where a road toll is collected. A few more kilometers of driving follow and a quite winding road brings us to a large parking lot at the mountain hut Eisenkappler Hütte.
Path description:
From the parking lot we first walk to the nearby mountain hut, then continue on the marked path in the direction of the summit Ojstrc / Hochobir. The path soon goes above the hut into the forest, through which it then ascends for some time. Higher, the path, along which we notice a larger number of educational-natural history panels, flattens out and brings us out of the forest into the belt of dwarf pines. A few minutes of easy walking follow and the path brings us to benches on the panoramic summit Kraguljše.
From Kraguljše, from which a nice view of Ojstrc opens up, the path first slightly descends, then brings us past a smaller watering place for animals to a spacious ridge. When we step onto the ridge, the wide marked path turns left and then ascends traversely to the left. After a short ascent we arrive at the saddle "Kalte Quelle", and the path then ascends traversely to the left for some time. Higher, the path turns right and ascends along the edge of a smaller valley to the ruins of the former hut at 2040 m (Rainer Schutzhaus). The path ahead ascends to a smaller saddle in the main ridge of Obirja, where the path from the saddle Šajda / Zell - Schaida joins from the left, and we continue right along and beside the increasingly panoramic ridge, which is mainly dangerous for slipping in snow, to the 2139 m high summit.
