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. 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.

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 get to the main part of the mountain pasture, and a little towards the left there is a newer religious symbol.
Kumer - Repija 45 minutes, Repija - Govševa planina 1:00.
