Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Šentrupert, and then we continue driving towards Mozirje, Ljubno ob Savinji and valley Logarska dolina. When we get to Ljubno, we will notice signs for Smrekovec, which point us to the right in the center of the settlement, and there we turn left on a little narrower road which starts ascending above the settlement. Still before end of Ljubno, we will notice signs for a cemetery, which point us to the left on a little steeper road, from which we then once again turn left towards the cemetery. We park on a large settled parking lot by the cemetery and the local church.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk through the cemetery to the other side of the wall, where we step on a marked path which starts already a little lower in the center of Ljubno. We follow the path to the right, and it quickly brings us below the power line pole and a nearby chapel. From the chapel we continue in the same direction and we continue the ascent on a gently sloping meadow, through which leads a poorly visible footpath. Higher, we cross a grazing fence and we step on a cart track which we follow left upwards. Ahead we ascend through the forest, we cross a macadam road and we get to a memorial, which is placed in the memory of young boy.
The path ahead is for some time still ascending through the forest, after that widens into a cart track, on which with nice views, we walk to the near farm Sedelšak.
Above the farm, more precisely at the chapel, we leave the road and through a meadow we ascend to the edge of the forest, where we notice a wide, but a steep cart track. We continue on the mentioned cart track, and it quickly flattens and turns a little to the right. And after a shorter diagonal ascent we get to a marked crossing, where we continue left towards the church of St. Primož (right Koča na Travniku). From the crossing few minutes we cross the slopes towards the left and then we step out of the forest, where we get very close to near forest road.
We continue between the road and old house and through a meadow we walk to the church of St. Primož, from which a nice view opens up on surrounding hills.
