Koprivna (Kumer) - Velika glava (Peca) (via Knipsovo sedlo)

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

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue right on an ascending macadam road in the direction of the Ledrovec farm and the marked path to Peca, and we walk on it for approximately 10 minutes, then on the left side of the road we notice a signpost for Peca, which directs us left across a meadow. On the other side of the relatively overgrown meadow, the cart track on which we continue the ascent turns left and starts to ascend diagonally. Here a little view opens up from the path, and the cart track higher joins a worse forest road, which we follow to the left. The worse road, already almost a cart track, higher splits into two parts, and we continue straight on the ascending cart track, which higher turns sharply to the right. The worse cart track higher joins the next forest road, which we reach right at the bend. At the end of the bend, we leave the road and continue the path on the marked trail, which first ascends gently, then ever more steeply through the forest. Higher, the trail turns slightly to the right and gradually brings us to the edge of precipitous cliffs, from which a nice view opens up on the Topla valley and surrounding peaks. The path ahead leads us for some time along the edge of the cliffs, and it passes from increasingly sparse forest into a belt of dwarf pines. Further, we ascend on a trail that runs along the border line, and increasingly beautiful views open up from the path. Higher, the trail flattens and turns to the right, while the border line continues further in approximately the same direction.
When the path turns to the right, it for some time returns to the completely Slovenian side, and it crosses the slopes of Končnikov vrh. On sections somewhat less trodden but well-marked, the path brings us higher to the expansive summit ridge of Peca, which we reach just a little above Knipsovo sedlo.
When we reach the ridge, the path branches off to the left towards Bistriška špica and the nearby Končnikov vrh, and we continue slightly right in the direction of Kordeževa glava. After a short descent, we arrive at the already mentioned Knipsovo sedlo, where the path from the Topla valley also joins from the right.
On the saddle, where there are information boards, we continue straight on the barely visible and unmarked path (right Kordeževa glava, left Bistriška špica). After a few steps of walking, we notice on the right side a narrow clearing among the dwarf pines, along which a poorly visible little path runs. We head onto the mentioned path, along which after a good 10 minutes of ascent we arrive at the summit of Velika glava.
