Access to starting point:
A) From the road Slovenj Gradec - Dravograd, from a bigger roundabout we drive on exit in the direction of Ravne na Koroškem, and then we drive towards the mentioned settlement. When we get to Ravne na Koroškem, behind the Petrol gas station, at the crossroad, where on the right is situated Spar store, we turn left on a marked free parking lot, where we park by the river Meža.
B) From Črna na Koroškem or through the border crossing Holmec we drive on Prevalje, from where we continue driving towards Dravograd. When we get to Ravne na Koroškem, at Spar store, which we notice on the left side, we turn right on asphalt parking lot, which is located between the main road and river Meža.

Path description:
From the parking lot first at the pedestrian crossing we carefully cross quite busy main road, and then we continue on a sidewalk in the direction towards Dravograd. After Petrol gas station we continue left on the road, where by the underpass under the railway track, we notice the first signs for Šteharski vrh. After the underpass, we continue right in the direction of the path Malgajeva pot and we steeply ascend on stairs. Stairs quickly end, and when at the hayrack we reach the macadam road we follow it to the right to the near residential houses, where signs point us to the left below the route of a high voltage power line. Next follows quite panoramic walk below the power line, and then the path splits.
We continue left (right path Malgajeva pot), and then we on the right side bypass the nearby house and business building, behind which we cross a macadam road. Next follows an ascent through the forest, where at the crossings we follow quite frequent blazes. Higher, the path brings us on a panoramic grassy slope, from which a nice view opens up towards Uršlja gora and Peca. A little above the nearby chapel from the right also the path from tourist farm Spodnji Lečnik joins, and after the crossing, we on the right side bypass also the homestead.
Next follows a short ascent on the asphalt road, and then signs for Šteharski vrh point us to the left in the forest. Through the forest, we are for some time steeper ascending, and then we reach the macadam road, on which we continue to the farm Šteharnik, which we bypass on the left side. We continue on a cart track, at first with nice views on Koroška's hills, and then the path passes into the forest. Follows few minutes of a moderate ascent and mostly asphalted path brings us on Šteharski, or Šteharnikov vrh.
