GEOSS - Dom Ušte - Žerenk (via Pivkelj)

Access to starting point:
A) From the road Ljubljana - Litija, in the settlement Spodnji Hotič we go left (from the direction Litija right) in the direction of the settlement Vače. Next follows an ascent to the mentioned village, from where we go left and then we follow the signs for GEOSS. In the settlement Spodnja Slivna we get to the inn Gostilna Vrabec, from where there is to the parking lot by GEOSS only good 100 meters of driving.
B) From the road Moravče - Izlake, in the settlement Kandrše, at Trata bar we turn right (from the direction Izlake left) on the road in the direction of GEOSS. Next follows a relatively short ascent, and then from the crossroad we continue right (left Vače) and in the next crossroads as well, we follow the signs for GEOSS. We park on the settled parking lot next to GEOSS.

Path description:
From GEOSS we return to the inn Gostilna Vrabec, and from there we continue left (straight - Zgornja Gora and Sveti Florjan) and we start ascending diagonally. At the end of the right turn, we leave the asphalt road and we continue left on a marked footpath which starts ascending through the forest. Higher, we come out of the forest and at the chapel we continue left and we ascend to the abandoned mountain hut Dom na Zgornji Slivni, where we again step on an asphalt.
From here we can in a minute ascend to the near church of St. Neža, from which a beautiful view opens up, otherwise we continue right and we short time continue on the road. From the road soon a wide marked cart track branches off to the left (we don't go on the road which leads to the nearby transmitters), on which we continue the ascent, and at the crossings we follow the blazes. Higher from the left also a marked path without blazes from the hamlet Vrtače joins, and we continue slightly right, where we quickly get to the next crossing.
From the crossing, we continue left in the direction of Pivkelj, to which we ascend in 5 minutes, and then we return to a crossing and we continue left (straight, if we didn't ascend to the summit).
A little further, we go from the cart track right downwards (straight - nearby quarry Ušenišče), and the descent quickly ends and then some ascending follows. Higher, the path turns left, flattens and brings us out of the forest. By the edge of the forest, we continue to a macadam road, where from the right side an unmarked path joins, which leads past Sveti Florjan.
We follow the road to the left, and there past a religious symbol we get to a hamlet Štance Laze, after which the road starts considerably descending. Before the sharp right turn, a nice view opens up on surrounding hills, and the macadam road lower becomes asphalted. We continue the descent, and at the crossroads, we continue straight. Lower, the road flattens and then leads past the ranch Pr Oselet, after which we go slightly right, on the path which crosses a lane of a forest and it quickly brings us to the mountain hut Ušte - Žerenk.
