The Ribnica na Pohorju Mountain Lodge as well as the Kope Mountain Resort are both good starting points for hiking the trail. At the Kope Mountain Resort information centre the trail is complemented with an up-to-date multimedia presentation of the Pohorje Hills, with an actual bark-covered dwelling standing in front of it; the type of dwelling which once housed foresters working in the Pohorje Hills forests. It is also worth hiking a little further from the Ribnica na Pohorju Mountain Lodge and visiting Lake Ribnica na Pohorju.
