Podpeca (Helenski potok) - Dom na Peci (via Mirjance)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Črna na Koroškem, where from the roundabout in the center of the settlement, we take the exit towards Koprivna. At the next intersection, we go slightly right, so that over the bridge we cross the Meža River, and next to it we then continue driving. Črna na Koroškem then ends, and we drive to the road sign 5.5 km, where still before crossing the Helenski potok stream we park in an appropriate place by the road.
B) We drive to Solčava, and then we follow the signs for Črna na Koroškem. This is followed by an ascent to the mountain pass Spodnje Sleme, and from there a descent towards Koprivna. Lower down, we drive along the Meža River and continue driving in the direction of Črna na Koroškem. When the road towards Podpeca branches off to the left, we continue straight and then after crossing the Helenski potok stream we park on a parking lot by the road. At the starting point, there is a road sign 5.5 km.

Path description:
From the starting point, we walk to the nearby intersection and continue in the direction of Podpeca, Peca and Pikovo. The asphalt path first leads alongside the Helenski potok stream, and after approximately 15 minutes we arrive at the mine gnome - Perkmandeljc.
From the gnome we walk along the road by the Helenski potok stream only to the nearby intersection, and then we go sharply left onto the road in the direction of homesteads Rajzer, Žačen, Štopar and Mihev (straight the usual path to Peca, Pikovo, Terčovo, Najbrževo and refreshment spot Okrepčevalnica pri Matjažu). The path ahead leads us along the forest road, alongside which we notice some old, already entirely faded blazes. Higher up, the road splits, and we continue along the left road in the direction of Peca and homesteads Mihev and Žačen (right Rajzer, Sajler Vesničar and Lesjak).
Below homestead Mihev the forest thins out and we arrive at the next intersection. We continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Peci (left Bricman and Žačen, right Mihev) and for a few minutes continue across panoramic meadows. The path soon returns to the forest, and blazes from the road direct us left onto a wide cart track, from which we soon go right onto a poorly beaten path. The path ahead mostly leads through the forest, and at junctions we follow the not very frequent blazes. This is followed by walking through dense forest, where there are several fallen trees across the path, after which follows crossing a wider macadam road that leads towards the starting point Jakobe.
We continue along the grassy cart track, which higher turns left and alongside which it is hard to notice any blaze. When the cart track splits after a few minutes, we choose the right path, and alongside the path after a longer time we again notice a blaze. This is followed by a few minutes of ascent along a poorly beaten path, and then we arrive at Tomaževa bajta (on the hut the inscription "Ninotova koča"), where we join the better beaten path from Mitnek.
Before the hut we go left and ascend to a rough road, where the path from Mežica also joins from the right.
We merely cross the road and continue in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Peci, to which we have about 50 minutes of ascent left. The path ahead leads along a wide cart track, which, except for a few hairpins, ascends diagonally towards the left. During the ascent, nice views open up towards Uršlja gora several times, otherwise the path mostly runs through forest. Higher up the path levels out, bypasses the chapel of St. Cyril and Methodius on the right side, and then ascends to the mountain hut Dom na Peci in a few dozen steps.
Starting point - Tomaževa koča 2:20, Tomaževa koča - Dom na Peci 50 minutes.
