Šumahovo sedlo - Pikov vrh (via Veliki vrh)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Mežica, and then we continue driving towards Črna na Koroškem. When Mežica ends, we quickly get to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of the settlement Breg and CŠOD Mežica. From the crossroad ahead we start ascending, at the hamlet Zgornji Breg we go left towards Marholče. Next follows some ascent, and then we get to Šumahovo sedlo, where there is a cross Šumahov križ. We park on an appropriate place in near the cross.
B) From Črna na Koroškem, from the settlement Mušenik we turn left on the road in the direction of Pikovo. At the smaller crossroad, we continue straight (right Igerčevo), on the road which continues through the valley, and at the next crossroad, we continue left in the direction of forest road towards the mountain hut Koča na Pikovem (right footpath towards Koča na Pikovem). Further, the road for some time ascends, and then it mainly crosses slopes towards the right, and meanwhile leads us past few turn-offs towards the nearby homesteads. From the crossroad, where slightly to the left, the road towards Koča na Pikovem branches off, we continue slightly right, and then also past few turn-offs towards homesteads and in further crossing we get to Šumahovo sedlo, where on an appropriate place by the religious symbol we park.

Path description:
From Šumahovo sedlo we go on a wide cart track which from the saddle branches off towards the west. A little further quite a steep cart track splits, and we continue left, on a wider cart track which then through one more hairpin turn brings us on Veliki vrh, where there are transmitters, and on the nearby building also an inscription box with an inscription book.
Before the transmitters on the right we notice a footpath which diagonally descends on a smaller saddle west from Veliki vrh, and from the nearby crossing, we continue right in the direction of Pikov vrh (slightly left caves Pikove jame). The path continues with few ascents and descents, and mostly runs on a forested ridge. The path which isn't marked, only on few crossings it is marked, we then follow to a lookout tower on Pikov vrh.
Šumahovo sedlo - Veliki vrh 15 minutes, Veliki vrh - Pikov vrh 40 minutes.
