We follow the road ahead to the village Bistrica / Feistritz, where in the center of the village at the sharp right turn, the road branches off towards the village Blače / Vorderberg (at the crossroad we continue straight). In the village Blače / Vorderberg we turn left towards the church and follow the road ahead to the next crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of the mountain pasture Donice / Dolinza Alm. Asphalt road then runs past the cottage on Kočiška planina / Koutschitz Alm and only a little further brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue on the upper road and we drive for approximately 2km to the parking lot at the next crossing.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go right upwards on a steep macadam road following the signs Dellacher Alm. The road runs by a torrent and it brings us to a crossroad. We go left on the road which crosses a torrent and runs through the forest. At the left turn we leave the road and we continue right on a footpath which brings us to the cottage on the mountain pasture Dellacher Alm.
Here we come on an asphalt road on which we continue on the other side of the mountain pasture to a crossroad where there are also signposts. At the crossroad, we go left following the signs Poludniger Alm. At the first left turn we leave the road and we go right on a footpath. The path ahead runs through the forest and starts moderately ascending. In approximately half an hour of walking through the forest we get to the cottage on the mountain pasture Poludniger Alm. Here also a nice view opens up on surrounding peaks.
At the cottage, we go right following the signs Poludnig. The path ahead runs on grassy slopes below Poludnig and through a narrow lane of larch forest. In between we cross indistinct ridge on the southern slopes of the mountain. We soon come to a crossroad where we go left towards the summit of Poludnig. From the right joins the path from the lake Egger Alm See. Here the path starts ascending a little steeper and brings us on the western ridge of the mountain. Next follows only few minutes of walking on a panoramic grassy ridge towards the summit.
