Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Mežica, and then we continue driving towards Črna na Koroškem. When Mežica ends, we quickly get to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of the settlement Breg and CŠOD Mežica. From the crossroad ahead we start ascending, at the hamlet Zgornji Breg we go left towards Marholče. Next follows some ascent, and then we get to Šumahovo sedlo, where there is a cross Šumahov križ. We park on an appropriate place in near the cross.
B) From Črna na Koroškem, from the settlement Mušenik we turn left on the road in the direction of Pikovo. At the smaller crossroad, we continue straight (right Igerčevo), on the road which continues through the valley, and at the next crossroad, we continue left in the direction of forest road towards the mountain hut Koča na Pikovem (right footpath towards Koča na Pikovem). Further, the road for some time ascends, and then it mainly crosses slopes towards the right, and meanwhile leads us past few turn-offs towards the nearby homesteads. From the crossroad, where slightly to the left, the road towards Koča na Pikovem branches off, we continue slightly right, and then also past few turn-offs towards homesteads and in further crossing we get to Šumahovo sedlo, where on an appropriate place by the religious symbol we park.
Path description:
From Šumahovo sedlo we go from the cross left on a cart track which moderately ascends a little towards the left. After a short ascent, we reach the indistinct ridge, where the cart track turns a little to the right, and a little higher it ends. From the end of the cart track, we continue slightly right on a beaten footpath which ascends through the forest, and when it flattens, it brings us to a short panoramic part, from which a nice view opens up in the direction of Peca. Next follows about a minute of easy walking and the path brings us to a cross on Šumahov vrh, from which a nice view opens up also on the other side.
