Bresternica (Šiker) - Koča na Žavcarjevem vrhu

Access to starting point:
From the road Maribor - Dravograd, we will in the settlement Bresternica (on maps Brestrnica) notice signs for village Gaj, which point us to the right (from the direction Dravograd left). After few meters, at a poorly marked crossroad, we continue left and we follow the road which leads us through the village to the chapel, where we continue left. Mostly ascending road higher brings us to a crossroad by which we notice mountain signposts for Tojzlov vrh. Here, we continue left and the road which continues gradually ascending we follow to the road sign 7.5km. Only few meters before the mentioned sign we will notice by the road parking lot and hiking signposts.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we return few meters back, we cross a small bridge and then we go on a footpath in the direction of Žavcarjev vrh. The marked path which runs on a cart track, soon goes into the forest, where it is then moderately ascending. Higher, the cart track turns to the left, comes out of the forest and only a little after that, it brings us to a hamlet with few houses.
We for some time continue the ascent on the road, and then blazes point us to the left on a footpath which ascends by the edge of the forest. The path soon goes into the forest, where we soon come to the chapel, where the path turns a little towards the left. Further, we are ascending on at first gently sloping path, which higher a little steeper ascends and then it brings us to a forest road which we only cross (right Sveti Duh na Ostrem vrhu).
We continue in the direction of Žavcarjev vrh on the path which continues with some shorter ascents and descents. The path from which occasionally a view opens up, soon brings us to a forest road which we then follow to the mountain hut.
