Access to starting point:
From four-lane road between Maribor and Slivnica, at the traffic light crossroad we turn right in the direction of village Hoče (from Sllivnica direction left). We follow the road ahead through Spodnje and Zgornje Hoče towards Slivniško Pohorje. At the next crossroads, we continue in the direction towards Areh and then we park on a large parking lot between the mountain hut on Areh and the ski slope Areh.
The access is possible also from Fram.
Path description:
At the mountain hut Ruška koča we notice numerous signposts, among others also for Žigartov vrh. The path at first leads on the road in the direction of Šumik and Osankarica slightly upwards. After 15 minutes of walking, we come to a crossing, where we continue in the direction of "vrh 15 minutes", far left - mountain hut Koča na Šumiku. The path ahead soon brings us to a ski track, by the edge of which we then ascend to the top of a ski lift, which comes from the right side. The path ahead for some time continues on the forest road which then brings us to a crossing.
We continue right upwards on a moderately steep marked path, which in few minutes brings us on Žigartov vrh.
