Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Krtina, and then we continue driving in the direction of Moravče. In Moravče we continue left in the direction of Limbarska gora and Sveti Mohor, at the next crossroad, where the road branches off to the left towards Sveti Mohor, we continue slightly right in the direction of Limbarska gora. Further, the road gradually starts ascending, and we are driving there through the settlement Zalog to the settlement Gabrje pod Limbarsko, where the forest ends, and the road flattens, or even descends a little. When we get to moderate right turn, where on the right side we notice a built chapel we continue left on the road with speed bumps. Few 10 meters further we are at the beginning of the described path at the next chapel. At the starting point, there aren't any parking spots.
B) From the direction Zasavje at first we drive in Izlake, and from there we continue driving towards Moravče. When the road already starts descending towards Moravče, we need to pay attention to the right turn-offs, because we will leave the main road towards Moravče at the turn-off towards the settlement Peče. In Peče at the church we continue left and then we continue driving through the settlement Zgornje Koseze and Mošenik and we reach Gabrje pod Limbarsko goro, where at the smaller crossroad opposite of the chapel we continue right on the road with speed bumps. Few 10 meters further we are at the beginning of the described path at the next chapel. At the starting point, there aren't any parking spots.
Path description:
The beginning of the mountain path is a little left from the chapel, where on a power line pole we notice signposts for Limbarska gora, which tell us, that to the top we have 45 minutes of walking. After few steps of walking, the path goes into the forest, through which we are ascending for few minutes, and then we already get to an asphalt road which we follow to the right, and we walk there to the left turn. At the mentioned turn the marked path continues in the direction of straight, at first by the nearby fence. The path which at first is a little overgrown soon turns left and starts ascending through the forest. Higher, we step on a cart track which for a short time still continues through the forest and then it starts ascending diagonally through a larger meadow. When the crossing ends, we get to a smaller hamlet (hamlet Globočica), where we continue left on a wide cart track or a bad road. The road higher turns right and a little further flattens at the next hamlet. Next follows an easy walk past few houses, and then we continue on a little steeper cart track which higher changes into asphalt road, and it joins the main asphalt road which leads towards the top of Limbarska gora.
On the mentioned road, we ascend past few more houses, and then with increasingly beautiful views we quickly ascend to the church of St. Valentin and inn on Limbarska gora.
