Mountain hut on farm Kumer - Govca (Olševa)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Luče (to here from Kamnik over mountain pass Volovjek (Kranjski Rak) or from Štajerska highway and past Mozirje and through Ljubno ob Savinji), and then we continue driving in the direction of valley Logarska dolina. When we get to Solčava we leave the main road and we continue driving right towards Črna na Koroškem. Further, we drive on an ascending road which at the crossroads we follow in the direction of Črna na Koroškem and mountain pass Spodnje Sleme. From the mountain pass ahead the road starts descending, and we follow it to the spot, where we join the road Črna na Koroškem - Koprivna. Here we continue left and then at the next crossroad approximately 1 km ahead right towards the mountain hut on farm Kumer. Further, we are ascending by the stream Koprivna, and we follow the road to a crossroad, where the road branches off sharply to the left towards the earlier mentioned mountain hut. Here we continue left and we drive to the mentioned mountain hut.
B) From Koroška we at first drive to Črna na Koroškem, and then we continue driving towards Podpeca and Koprivna. At the crossroad, where a road towards Podpeca branches off to the right, we continue slightly left, and also at the next crossroad, where a road branches off to the right into a valley of Topla. Ahead we for some time still drive by the river Meža, and then we first get to a crossroad, where a road branches off to the left towards the mountain pass Spodnje Sleme and forward towards the valley Logarska dolina. Here we continue straight, and then at the next crossroad approximately 1 km ahead right towards the mountain hut on farm Kumer.

Path description:
From the mountain hut, we continue in the direction of Olševa, and the path ahead still leads on the road. Behind the hut we at first bypass a chapel, a little ahead a cross, and later also a smaller hunting observatory. When the road which continues without large changes in altitude passes into the forest, splits into two parts, and we continue on the upper right road in the direction of Olševa (slightly left church of St. Ana with black Mary 2 minutes). Further, we are slightly to moderately ascending, and then after a little more distinct right turn the road flattens and brings us out of the forest on the mountain pasture Rep or Repija.
Behind the mountain pasture, the road descends a little and then after the left turn splits. We continue on a slightly right road which is further ascending diagonally, and then quickly ends and changes into a mountain path. We continue through the forest, and we walk diagonally towards the left without large changes in altitude. Over two anthills the passage is a little clumsy, because the needles of the anthill are slippery, otherwise the crossing is undemanding. When the slope flattens we quickly get to a grazing fence, where by the path, we notice a warning, that on the mountain pasture there is a dangerous bull. We cross a grazing fence and we step out of the forest, where a nice view opens up towards Olševa, and the footpath on this part becomes a little harder to follow. During the crossing of the mountain pasture we stick a little more to the right, and then we get into a lane of a forest, where we descend to a trough for livestock. When above the trough we step out of the forest we still stick more to the right, and then the path which runs near the national border starts turning to the left. A cross, which we see in the middle of the mountain pasture we bypass much higher on the right side of the mountain pasture. When the marked path returns into the forest, soon worse cart track branches off to the right, on which it is possible to continue towards Špičasti vrh / Spitzberg, and we continue straight on a wider cart track, on which we quickly get to some sort of the parking lot on Zadnji travnik.
From an unregulated parking lot we continue left in the direction of Olševa on the path which continues on a cart track and which after few meters goes into the forest. About 3 minutes we walk on a cart track, and then blazes point us slightly to the left on a beaten and with arrows marked footpath. A little higher again blazes show up, and the path returns on a cart track. We continue the ascent on a gradually steeper cart track which higher flattens a little and turns to the right. From the spot, when the cart track turns to the right, we walk there only few 10 meters and then blazes point us to the left on again steeper footpath, and it quickly brings us to the hunting bivouac Foršnerca.
From the hunting bivouac we continue straight and then after few meters left uphill. Further, the path starts ascending steeper through partly larch forest, which higher gets thinner. After few minutes of the ascent, the path flattens and brings us into a smaller cirque. Next follows few minutes of a moderate ascent, and then the path again becomes a little steeper, and it leads over more panoramic shady slopes of Olševa. Higher, the path turns left and it ascends diagonally to a smaller gully, through which on a gravel we ascend on the ridge of Olševa.
We reach the ridge at the marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Govca, highest peak of the before mentioned ridge (left saddle Spodnje Sleme and Raduha). The path ahead continues on the left, mostly south side of the ridge, where it crosses some even steeper and on two spots also exposed slopes (mainly in wet and snow dangerous for slipping). Further slope flattens a little, and the path a little steeper ascends. With nice views towards the mountains above the valley Logarska dolina we quickly reach some kind of side ridge, on which we ascend in few minutes to the main ridge of Olševa. Here the path turns to the left and after few 10 strides of additional walking brings us on Govca.
