Plešivška kopa (Kozarnica)

Description of mountain:
Plešivška kopa is part of the Uršlja gora range; more precisely, it is a prominent forested shoulder extending from the summit eastward. It has various appearances. From Mislinjska dolina, it looks like a high-rising peak (kopa) before Uršlja gora, while from Mežiška dolina it appears as an elongated forested ridge stretching east from Uršlja gora. With a bit of imagination, it may resemble a goat's back—perhaps the origin of its other name, Kozarnica, used in areas north below the mountain. Due to its proximity to the more famous neighbor, the peak is almost unknown and rarely visited; many hikers bypass it south of the summit on their way to Uršlja gora. Although forested to the top, the steep northern slope allows enjoyment of northern views through gaps in the trees along the summit ridge, encompassing much of Slovenian Koroška, Košenjak, Kozjak, and reaching the Lavanttal Alps in Austria. No marked path leads to this peak, but it can be visited with some effort via hunting and forest trails, offering serenity in the high forests. If quiet, one might spot chamois, capercaillie, or even a herd of mouflons.
