Path description:
From the border crossing, we continue right on the path which continues towards the north. The path goes into the forest and is at first slightly ascending, and during the ascent, we cross few gullies. Next follows a shorter descent all the way to a stream Klavžni potok / Klausenbach.
The path ahead runs by the stream and we soon leave the forest and we get to a meadow. At the end of the meadow trail blaze on a pole points us sharply right (trail blaze often isn't visible because of high grass) and becomes pretty steep, and we get help from few stairs. Steepness higher for some time decreases and we continue by the national border with Austria. Next follows an ascent in few hairpin turns on the path which runs through mixed forest and on cart tracks.
Next follows for approximately 20 minutes of a steeper ascent and in front of us, we already notice a lookout tower, to which we have only a short walk.
Despite the modest height, the peak is outstanding vantage point.
