Access to starting point:
We drive to Slovenj Gradec, from where we continue towards the settlement Legen and ski slope Kope. We further follow the signs for Kope, and the ascending road we follow to a larger parking lot at the ski slope Kope.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk past Grmovškov dom pod Veliko Kopo and past other tourist and catering facilities to the saddle Pungart, from where we continue right in the direction of Črni vrh and Ribniška koča (left - Velika Kopa and Koča pod Kremžarjevim vrhom). At first, we ascend along a shorter ski lift, and then we continue on a worse macadam road which in few minutes brings us to a fenced area, where we continue by the wooden fence. A little higher, the road passes on the inner side of the fence, and we continue left by the fence, where the mountain path continues. A little higher we return on the road which meanwhile already became a wider cart track, and for some time we are still ascending by the fence, and then the path flattens and leaves the fenced area. At the gentle part, the path towards Mislinja branches off to the right, and we continue straight and we again start gradually ascending. A little higher at the crossing we continue straight (slightly left - Ribniška koča - path which bypasses Črni vrh) and on a more and more panoramic slope in few minutes we ascend to a viewpoint near the highest peak of Pohorje. From the viewpoint, we continue on a gentle grassy slope to the nearby peak, by which there is shelter škorjanka.
