Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Šentrupert and we follow the road ahead towards the valley Logarska dolina. In the village Ljubno ob Savinji signpost for Smrekovec points us right. The road then runs through the center of the village, where we turn left again following the signs for Smrekovec. The road then brings us in Ljubenske Rastke, where at the crossroad near the church we continue left. We follow this road to the sharp right turn, in the middle of which macadam road branches off straight which we follow to mountain signposts for Žep, Robnik and hunting cottage. We park on one of the smaller parking lots by the road (more appropriate space is a little higher).
Path description:
First, with the help of wooden bridge we cross the stream Žep, after that signpost point us on at first quite overgrown and steep footpath. The path quickly passes into dense spruce forest, where continues steeply ascending. We soon step out of the forest on grassy slopes, where the footpath vanishes. Here we will a little higher, on a tree notice a blaze, which points us on a slope straight upwards. After a short ascent, we cross the cart track and the path brings us to the ruins of former farm.
Further, we continue on a poorly visible but marked path, which is ascending parallel with a little wider cart track. Higher, the path joins the cart track, and it immediately splits. We continue sharply left, on a little steeper cart track which higher changes into a footpath, and it soon brings us to a forest road which we follow to the right. After few minutes of walking on the road, we come out of the forest, where in front of us we notice ample mountain pasture Počka planina.
