Koprivna (Kumer) - Feistritzer Spitze (Austrian path)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Luče (from Kamnik over the Volovjek pass (Kranjski Rak) or from the Štajerska motorway past Mozirje and through Ljubno ob Savinji), then we continue driving towards Logarska dolina. When we arrive in Solčava, we leave the main road and continue driving right towards Črna na Koroškem. Further, we drive on an ascending road, which we follow at the crossroads in the direction of Črna na Koroškem and the Spodnje Sleme pass. From the pass onwards, the road starts descending, and we follow it to the spot where we join the road Črna na Koroškem - Koprivna. Here we continue left, then at the next crossroad approximately 1 km ahead right towards the mountain hut on the Kumer farm. Further, we ascend along the Koprivna stream, and we follow the road to the crossroad where the road branches sharply left to the aforementioned hut, straight the road continues to the mountain pasture Luža, and to the right branches a marked mountain path to Peca (this one initially runs on the road as well). We park at an appropriate place by the road.
B) From Koroška, we first drive to Črna na Koroškem, then continue driving towards Podpeca and Koprivna. At the crossroad where the road towards Podpeca branches right, we continue slightly left, and likewise at the next crossroad where the road branches right into the Topla valley. Further we drive by the Meža river for some time, then we first arrive at a crossroad where the road branches left towards the Spodnje Sleme pass and further towards Logarska dolina. Here we continue straight, then at the next crossroad approximately 1 km ahead right towards the mountain hut on the Kumer farm. Further, we ascend along the Koprivna stream, and we follow the road to the crossroad where the road branches sharply left to the aforementioned hut, straight the road continues to the mountain pasture Luža, and to the right branches a marked mountain path to Peca (this one initially runs on the road as well). We park at an appropriate place by the road.
C) First, we drive to Šoštanj, then continue driving on a winding road towards Črna na Koroškem. In Črna na Koroškem, we continue left towards Podpeca and Koprivna. At the crossroad where the road towards Podpeca branches right, we continue slightly left, and likewise at the next crossroad where the road branches right into the Topla valley. Further we drive by the Meža river for some time, then we first arrive at a crossroad where the road branches left towards the Spodnje Sleme pass and further towards Logarska dolina. Here we continue straight, then at the next crossroad approximately 1 km ahead right towards the mountain hut on the Kumer farm. Further, we ascend along the Koprivna stream, and we follow the road to the crossroad where the road branches sharply left to the aforementioned hut, straight the road continues to the mountain pasture Luža, and to the right branches a marked mountain path to Peca (this one initially runs on the road as well). We park at an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue straight ahead, i.e. on the road ascending parallel to the nearby stream. The path further leads us past the Žegnan studenec spring and somewhat higher past the turn-off of the cart track to sv. Ana. Higher up, the road makes a sharp left turn, beside which there are information boards, and we leave it right at that spot and continue straight on a worse road, which shortly further crosses the state border. When we enter Austria, we continue for a short time on the worse road, then join a wider macadam road, on which we walk to the central part of the mountain pasture Luža in a few minutes.
From the alpine hut, we walk to the second part of the mountain pasture, there at the crossroad we continue right in the direction of Peca (slightly left Železna Kapla / Bad Eisenkappel and Topica / Topitza). We continue the ascent on the macadam road, which gently to moderately ascends along the edge of the mountain pasture. After approximately 15 minutes of further walking, we will notice mountain signs for Peca on the left side of the road, which direct us sharply left onto an ascending cart track. The mentioned cart track brings us quickly in a traverse ascent to a newly built forest road, which we follow to the left. After some 10 m of walking on the mentioned road, we turn right onto an ascending cart track, on which we ascend through the spruce forest. After approximately 1 hour of walking from the starting point, we step again onto a macadam road, on which in a few steps we ascend to the mountain pasture Zgornja Luža.
From the mountain pasture, we continue on the marked path (initially still on the road) in the direction of Peca. After some 10 steps, the road turns right, and we continue left on a footpath, which starts to ascend moderately through the forest. The path gradually starts to ascend more steeply, and it brings us higher out of the forest onto slopes covered with dwarf pines. Further, we ascend the increasingly panoramic slopes of Peca on the path, which after some time brings us to the main ridge, where we also arrive at a junction.
We continue right in the direction of Bistriška špica and Peca (left Globasnica/Globasnitz) on the path which levels out completely and continues first along a precipitous ridge, then on the plateau-like terrain of Peca. Somewhat further, the path from the lower cableway station on Peca joins us from the left, and we continue straight on the path, which rises slightly and brings us to Bistriška špica after less than 5 minutes of further walking.
