Path description:
From the center of Ribnica na Pohorju we at first continue on an ascending asphalt road, from which we soon go right in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Pesniku. We quickly get to the foot of the ski slope, where we leave the road and we continue the ascent left by the edge of the ski track. When we ascend to the top of the ski slope, we cross also a lane of a forest and then we reach the macadam road, where the path flattens. We for some time continue on the road which leads through the forest, and higher we get to a crossroad from which we continue straight on a footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Pesniku. Next follows approximately 15 minutes of a moderate ascent and the path brings us out of the forest, where in front of us we already notice the mountain hut, to which we have only few minutes of easy walking.
