Mountain hut on farm Kumer - Govca (Olševa)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Luče (from Kamnik over the Volovjek pass (Kranjski Rak) or from the Styrian motorway past Mozirje and through Ljubno ob Savinji), then continue driving towards Logarska dolina. When we arrive in Solčava, we leave the main road and continue driving right towards Črna na Koroškem. Further on, we drive along an ascending road, which we follow at the crossroads towards Črna na Koroškem and the Spodnje Sleme pass. From the pass onwards, the road starts to descend, and we follow it to the point where we join the Črna na Koroškem - Koprivna road. Here we continue left, then at the next crossroad about 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 off sharply to the left towards the earlier-mentioned hut. Here we continue left and drive to the mentioned mountain hut.
B) From Koroška, we first drive to Črna na Koroškem, then continue driving towards Podpeca and Koprivna. At the crossroad where the road to Podpeca branches off to the right, we continue slightly left, likewise at the next crossroad where the road into the Topla valley branches off to the right. Further, we drive along the Meža river for some time, then first arrive at the crossroad where the road branches off to the left towards the Spodnje Sleme pass and further towards Logarska dolina. Here we continue straight, then at the next crossroad about 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 off sharply to the left towards the earlier-mentioned hut.

Path description:
From the hut, we continue in the direction of Olševa, the path still leading along the road. Behind the hut, we first bypass a chapel, a little further a cross, later also a smaller hunting observation post. When the road, continuing without major elevation changes, enters the forest, it splits into two parts, and we continue on the upper right road towards Olševa (slightly left church of St. Ana with black Madonna 2 minutes). Further on, we ascend slightly to moderately, then, after a somewhat more pronounced right bend, the road levels out and takes us out of the forest onto the Rep or Repija pasture.
Behind the pasture, the road descends slightly, then splits after a left bend. We continue on the slightly right road, which ascends transversely further on, then quickly ends and turns into a mountain path. We continue the path through the forest, walking transversely to the left without major elevation changes. Crossing two ant hills is somewhat awkward, as the needles on the ant hills are slippery, otherwise the crossing is undemanding. When the slope levels out, we quickly reach a pasture fence, where we notice a warning by the path that there is a fierce bull on the pasture. We cross the pasture fence and step out of the forest, where a nice view opens towards Olševa, and the trail becomes somewhat harder to follow on this section. While crossing the pasture, we keep somewhat more to the right, then arrive at a strip of forest where we descend to a livestock trough. When we step out of the forest above the trough, we still keep more to the right, then the path running near the state border starts to turn left. The cross we see in the middle of the pasture, we bypass considerably higher on the right side of the pasture. When the marked path returns to the forest, a worse cart track soon branches off to the right, along which it is possible to continue towards Špičasti vrh / Spitzberg; we continue straight on the wider cart track, along which we quickly reach a kind of parking lot on Zadnji travnik.
From the unregulated parking lot, we continue left towards Olševa along the path that continues on the cart track and enters the forest after just a few meters. We walk about 3 minutes on the cart track, then the blazes direct us slightly left onto a beaten footpath marked with arrows. A little higher, blazes reappear, and the path returns to the cart track. We continue the ascent on the gradually steeper cart track, which higher on levels out somewhat and turns right. From the point where the cart track turns right, we follow it only another 10 or so meters, then the blazes direct us left onto the again steeper footpath, which quickly brings us to the Foršnerca hunting bivouac.
From the hunting bivouac, we continue straight, then after a few meters left uphill. Further on, the path starts to ascend more steeply through partly larch forest, which thins out higher up. After a few minutes of ascent, the path levels out and brings us to a small cirque. A few minutes of moderate ascent follow, then the path becomes somewhat steeper again, leading us over increasingly panoramic shady slopes of Olševa. Higher up, the path turns left and ascends transversely to a smaller gully, up which we climb over scree to the Olševa ridge.
We reach the ridge at a marked junction, where we continue right towards Govca, the highest peak of the aforementioned ridge (left Spodnje Sleme saddle and Raduha). The path ahead continues along the left, mostly southern side of the ridge, crossing some steeper slopes and at two points also exposed ones (especially in wet conditions and snow, risk of slipping). Further on, the slope levels out somewhat, the path ascends a bit more steeply. With nice views towards the mountains above Logarska dolina, we quickly reach a kind of side ridge, up which we ascend in a few minutes to the main Olševa ridge. Here the path turns left and after a few 10 steps of further walking brings us to Govca.
