Access to starting point:
We drive to a border crossing Ljubelj and ahead on the Austrian side. Soon after that, when on the left side of the road, we notice a smaller church road towards the village Žabnica / Bodental branches off to the left. At the crossroad after the village Slovenji Plajberk we continue straight in the direction of Strugarje / Strugarjach. We follow this road to the beginning of the mentioned village and we park only few ten meters ahead on a parking lot by the road near the mountain signposts (on map marked as Križnik).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road ahead, which after 20 minutes of a light ascent with nice views brings us to a hamlet in the village Strugarje / Strugarjach. We continue here among houses still on the road. We leave the road few ten meters after the village at the spot, where blazes point us to the right.
The path ahead after few meters of walking through a meadow brings us on the edge of the forest, where on the right side we notice a hunting observatory. Here our path points us left slightly downwards and after few meters of descent it brings us on a cart track which we follow to the right. And this cart track already after few steps has a crossing, where we continue straight upwards (left downwards Bistrica v Rožu / Feistritz). Further, we continue on a cart track which is relatively steeply ascending and a little higher it brings us on a larger with a high grass overgrown clearing. At the end of this clearing we leave the cart track and we go left on a marked path. Then the path already after a shorter gentle ascent crosses a cart track (to here possible also on a cart track). Here the path brings us on the western ridge on and by which we are then ascending. The path ahead mostly runs through the forest, which gets thinner few minutes below the summit. Ahead follows a light ascent on the more and more panoramic upper slope to a cross, which stands on the top.
