Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Celje we go to the exit Šempeter and follow the road ahead in the direction of Šempeter. In Šempeter we turn right in the direction of village Šešče pri Preboldu and then we drive towards the village Matke. When we come to Matke, we continue driving by the stream to a crossroad, where it says Matke left and right (house numbers left 56, right 55). Here we continue left (straight) and we follow the road to the parking lot by the road near the bee house.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road, but only to a spot where the road crosses a smaller stream. Here we continue straight, on a cart track which is ascending by the stream full of tires. Cart track then crosses the stream and then it relatively steeply ascends to the house, where we step on the road. Next follows 10 minutes of walking to a crossing (here we notice the first signposts and blazes), where we continue left in the direction of Kamnik. The path ahead runs on a gentle cart track which we after few minutes leave. Here the marked footpath points us left upwards on a steep vegetated slopes. The path ahead runs on a slope straight upwards, so the path is very steep and in wet dangerous for slipping. After a good half an hour of steep ascent we step on the summit, where in front of us we notice a small bivouac.
