Access to starting point:
We drive to Črna na Koroškem, and then we follow the signs for Podpeca and later Koča na Pikovem. We park on a parking lot near the mountain hut Koča na Pikovem.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the church of St. Helena and mountain hut Koča na Pikovem, after that behind the church we continue left on the path in the direction of Veliki vrh. The path ahead leads us on a worse macadam road which at first runs through the forest and then through meadows, from which a beautiful view opens up. Behind the homestead Pik the road changes into a cart track, and by the edge of the forest path on Pikov vrh branches off to the right.
We continue in the direction of Pikov vrh and we start ascending steeper through the forest on an unmarked path. Higher from the left joins the path from Pikovo znamenje, and in few minutes of additional walking, we get to Pikov vrh, where there is a lookout tower.
We bypass the lookout tower on the right side, and then we at first descend a little on the ridge and then the path continues with some shorter ascents and descents. When we already get quite close to Veliki vrh, the path branches off to the right towards the caves Pikove jame, and we continue left and we diagonally ascend to the transmitters on Veliki vrh, and the inscription box is situated few steps ahead towards the right.
From Veliki vrh on a wide cart track we in 10 minutes descend to Šumahovo sedlo, where there is a crossing of multiple paths and roads.
From Šumahovo sedlo we go from the cross left on a cart track which moderately ascends a little towards the left. After a short ascent, we reach the indistinct ridge, where the cart track turns a little to the right, and a little higher it ends. From the end of the cart track, we continue slightly right on a beaten footpath which ascends through the forest, and when it flattens, it brings us to a short panoramic part, from which a nice view opens up in the direction of Peca. Next follows about a minute of easy walking and the path brings us to a cross on Šumahov vrh, from which a nice view opens up also on the other side.
