Stage 6 | Route description

From the Dom na Smrekovcu mountain hut we set off along the access road then turn left towards Črna na Koroškem. At the Kramarica pass we keep to the left and follow the signs for Črna towards the Silvester farm (Ludranski vrh 9). The trail continues past Grabnar (Ludranski vrh 12) all the way to the settlement of Prhanija, where we should take a left towards the Vesevk farmstead (Ludranski vrh 20). Follow the signs for the Najevska lipa linden tree – the tree with the largest circumference in Slovenia. The tree stands beside the road near the Najevnik farm. Follow the road slightly to the left to a 150 metre-distant house – Podvršnik – where a trail marker shows the way towards Ludranski vrh. Follow the trail markers on the logging trail and at the shrine/cross turn right onto a single track trail that leads downhill. After a few minutes, we cross the forest road and follow the path onwards and downhill. Continue on the path to the Kogelnik farm. We walk to the left across the courtyard and continue to the centre of Črna na Koroškem. From this pleasant tourist settlement continue alongside the main road in a northerly direction (towards Mežica) for one kilometre, then follow the signs for Pikovo (turning on the left uphill on a road) and soon crossing the courtyard of the Kordež farm (Podpeca 15), from where the single track path continues past the Božiček farm and after approx. 1 hour leads to St. Helen's church and the Koča na Pikovem mountain hut. We turn right at the church along the macadam road and after approx. 1 kilometre of gentle inclines and declines we reach the Partisan memorial monument. From the monument the footpath leads past a cross and slightly downhill to a junction of paths (Junčarjeva grapa/Junčar gorge). Turn right at the junction and follow the path to Jesenik and continue along a beautiful ridge into a pine forest overgrown with heather and juniper until we reach a forest logging trail where we turn left towards the former ski piste (today a Disc golf place) and continue all the way to Mežica.
