Šumahovo sedlo - Veliki vrh (above Mežiška dolina)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Mežica, and then continue driving towards Črna na Koroškem. When Mežica ends, we quickly arrive at a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of the settlement Breg and CŠOD Mežica. From the crossroad onwards we start to ascend, at the hamlet Zgornji Breg we go left towards Marholče. Some more ascent follows, and then we arrive at Šumahovo sedlo, where there is the Šumahov križ cross. We park at a suitable place near the cross.
B) From Črna na Koroškem, from the settlement Mušenik we turn left onto the road in the direction of Pikovo. At the smaller crossroad we continue straight ahead (right to Igerčevo), on the road that continues through the valley, at the next crossroad we continue left in the direction of the forest road to Koča na Pikovem (right footpath to Koča na Pikovem). Further on the road temporarily ascends for a while, then mainly traverses the slopes to the right, meanwhile leading us past a few turn-offs to the nearby homesteads. From the crossroad where the road to Koča na Pikovem branches off slightly to the left, we continue slightly to the right, then past a few more turn-offs to homesteads and with further traversing we arrive at Šumahovo sedlo, where we park at a suitable place by the sign.

Path description:
From Šumahovo sedlo we head onto a wide cart track which branches off from the saddle towards the west. A little further a quite steep cart track splits off, but we continue left on the wider cart track, which then via yet another hairpin turn brings us to Veliki vrh, where there are transmitters, and on the nearby building there is also a registration box with a registration book.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in 2018 (May).
