Jelovec - Možičev vrh

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Maribor, and then we continue driving towards Dravograd. When we get to the settlement Jelovec, at the crossroad where the road branches off to the right towards the settlement Srednje, there is the beginning of the described path. We can park at the crossroad, where the road branches off to the right towards the settlement Srednje, or on the opposite side of the road on an asphalt parking lot by the bus stop.
B) From Dravograd we drive towards Maribor, when we get to the settlement Jelovec we turn right and we park on a parking lot by the bus stop.

Path description:
If we've parked on the southern side of the road, we first carefully cross the main road, and then we go on the main road towards the settlement Srednje and mountain path to Žavcarjev vrh. The path ahead at first leads on an asphalt road which is ascending through the settlement Jelovec, where we follow the blazes and signs for settlement Srednje. Next follows a few hairpin turns, after that a nice view opens up in the direction of Maribor. Further, we still walk on an asphalt road and at the crossroads, we follow the blazes. Higher, we pass on a macadam road, and along it we get to a pasture, which we bypass on the lower side. Behind the pasture follows a shorter descent, and past a few houses we get to a crossroad from which we continue straight (left downwards along the stream Habidov potok we get into the valley or to the main road). Next follows some walking through the forest and then through a meadow we ascend past the homestead Rušnik.
Above the homestead, we get by the edge of the forest, and from the road we go on a cart track, on which continues the marked path. Next follows a diagonal ascent, and in a few minutes we get to a pasture, from where again a nice view opens up.
On this part from the left joins the path from Spodnje Sleme, and we continue by the pasture to a smaller hamlet, where we reach the macadam road. We continue right upwards and we are still ascending diagonally towards the right. Higher, we leave the forest, and the path from which a nice view opens up on Pohorje turns sharply to the left and after some 10 steps of additional walking brings us to Koča na Žavcarjevem vrhu.
We bypass the mountain hut on the left side, and at the chapel we go straight into the forest on the path towards Žavcarjev vrh, where we walk on a well-beaten path through the forest. After a few minutes of the ascent, we go on a slightly left cart track, on which we quickly reach the 915 meters high peak.
We bypass the inscription box on the left side, and then we start descending through the forest on an unmarked footpath. Lower, we join the cart track, and we follow it straight. A little further, the path stops descending, and at the crossing of cart tracks we go on the one which starts ascending again. During the ascent, we stick to the left directions, so that we reach an indistinct peak along the equally indistinct eastern ridge.
