From the outside, this church looks very unusual and interesting. It was only inaugurated in 2010. Unfortunately, it was closed so we couldn't visit it. What a pity.

The Grmovšek Hut (Slovene: Grmovškov dom pod Veliko Kopo) is a mountain hut below the Veliko Kopa at an altitude of 1,377 metres. The hut was built in 1937 and quickly became a popular stop for outdoor sports enthusiasts. In 1942 it burned down, in 1947 it was rebuilt – and unfortunately burned down again in the same year. The third hut was inaugurated in 1954 and named after Miloš Grmovšek, the then president of the Slovenj Gradec Hiking Association (PD Slovenj Gradec). The hut is a great stop on your hike with everything you need after a long day of hiking.

The church is the second highest church in Slovenia (the first is the church of St. Uršula on Uršlja gora).

Beautifully laid out with many informative boards on the houses, also in English.

Cool view of the area and a surprisingly long way up! Unlike the fancy new tower, this one doesn't have a slide, but at least it's free to visit.

Lookout and radio tower with a really worthwhile wide all-round view

Velika Kopa (1542 m) is the second highest peak of Pohorje and is only a meter lower than Črni vrh. The top is jagged and completely grassy. It has a beautiful view on all sides: Svinška planina and Golica in Austria, the border Košenjak and Kozjak in the north, on the back of Pohorje to the east with Črni vrh and Rogla, to the south on Paška Kozjak, Graška gora, Gora Oljko, Posavsko hribovje and Golte and to Uršlja gora, Peca and the Savinja Alps in the west. Below us lies the Mislinjska valley with Slovenj Gradec. On the south and north sides we see how strong streams cut the slopes into shoulder ridges, along which are scattered solitary farms, as well as the centers of decomposed hill villages, such as Sts. Primož on Pohorje and Planina (St. Anton) in the direction of the Drava. Towards the northeast, the narrow gorge of Črni potok with steep, sparsely populated slopes stretches.
