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 the road which leads us through the settlement we follow 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 is still gradually ascending we follow to the road sign 7.5 km. 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 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, passes out of the forest and only a little after that, it brings us to the 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 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 the forest road which we only cross (right - Sveti Duh na Ostrem Vrhu).
From the road, we continue slightly left in the direction of Žavcarjev vrh, where we few 10 strides walk on a wider cart track, and from there we then go left on a marked narrower cart track. Further, we for some time leave the forest and then we return into the forest and after a short descent, we return also on the macadam road. We continue through the forest, and at the nearby crossroad, we go right in the direction of marked road (left continues the path Pot grebenskih kmetij) and then in a minute of additional walking, we get to Koča na Žavcarjevem vrhu.
From the mountain hut, we continue right in the direction of Žavcarjev vrh, where we walk on a well-beaten path through the forest. After few minutes of the ascent, we go on a slightly left cart track, on which we quickly reach the 915 meters high peak.
We bypass the inscription box on the left side, and then we start descending through the forest on an unmarked footpath. Lower, we join the cart track, and we follow it straight (from the right joins a little shorter path, which from the marked path branches off at picture number 15). A little further, the path stops descending, and at the crossing of cart tracks we go on the one, which starts ascending again. During the ascent, we stick to the left direction, so that we reach an indistinct peak on also indistinct eastern ridge.
The starting point - Koča na Žavcarjevem vrhu 1:50, Koča na Žavcarjevem vrhu - Žavcarjev vrh 0:10, Žavcarjev vrh - Možičev vrh 0:15.
