Path description:
On the other side of the railway track we go right, and then before Agricultural forestry cooperative Koroška left on an ascending asphalt road. On the asphalt road, we continue to the near right hairpin turn, from where we continue straight in the direction of a marked path (near the crossroad there are few options for parking). Next follows an ascent on the macadam road to the near house, behind which the road changes into a cart track, on which we continue the ascent through the forest. Few minutes we are ascending on a cart track, and then we get to area, which was damaged by strong winds. Here we go from the cart track right on a nicely settled path, which is with nice views ascending on a slope, which is slowly getting overgrown. Well repaired path makes few hairpin turns, and then it ascends diagonally to the vantage point Skala, where there is an inscription box and from where a beautiful view opens up in the direction of Dravograd.
