Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Ljubelj we descend to Austrian side, and then in second roundabout (which is located a little before the bridge over the river Drava) we go to the exit Bistrica v Rožu / Feistritz. Further, we drive to the mentioned settlement, and there signs for Rute / Bärental point us to the left on an ascending road which after few km brings us to the mentioned village, where we park on a parking lot by the road (by the parking lot there are signposts for Struška / Barentaler Kotschna).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go right on an asphalt road in the direction of "Bärensattel". After few ten strides, the road brings us to the inn Stouhütte, behind which we leave it and we go on a footpath in the direction of "Bärensattel". After that, the path immediately after smaller stairs turns left and a little higher crosses the macadam road. Further, we are ascending on a pleasant forest path, which higher brings us to partly abandoned farm Žnidar, where we turn sharply left. The path ahead goes again in the forest and after shorter moderate ascent it brings us to the hunting observatory (if we ascend to the top, a nice view opens up on the valley Drautal). The path ahead gradually becomes increasingly steep and higher it brings us below smaller cliffs, where a pleasant walk gets interrupted by gravel, on which we have to ascend steeply upwards (carefully mainly at the descent). The steepness then decreases and the path past an intermittent well brings us to a saddle Medvedjak / Bärensattel.
Here we continue right on the border ridge in the direction of "Barentaler Kotschna" (straight mountain pasture Seča 5 minutes) on the path which is ascending among dwarf pines. A relatively steep path higher brings us on the secondary peak of Struška, from which we descend few ten strides. After this descent we cross a smaller valley and after few steep strides we ascend on a ridge which we follow through dwarf pines to the grassy and panoramic summit.
The starting point - Medvedjak 1:45, Medvedjak - Struška 1:00.
