Kurnikovo sedlo - Eisenkappler Hutte (footpath)

Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Jezerski vrh or Pavličev vrh we drive to Železna Kapla / Bad Eisenkappel, from there we continue driving towards the west in the direction of »Hochobir«. We follow this road approximately 3 km to a crossroad, where a signpost for »Eisenkappler Hütte« points us right on still asphalted road which starts ascending steeper and higher brings us to the spot, where a road toll has to be paid. Here we park on a marked parking lot.
In the winter time it is forbidden to park or drive on the road.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road which is moderately ascending mostly through the forest. The road further crosses few torrent streams and after one hour of walking, it brings us on the mountain pasture Obirska planina.
From the mountain pasture, on which stands a shepherd hut we continue on the road which soon makes a large right turn. And after the turn marked footpath branches off to the left upwards, on which we go (it is possible to continue also on the road). The path which starts ascending a little steeper crosses a cart track and through the forest in a little less than 30 minutes brings us on a bad forest road. The road higher brings us out of the forest and then turns left. After few meters the footpath goes on grassy slopes below the mountain hut »Eisenkappler Hütte« to which we have only few steps.
