Oplotnica - Dom na Osankarici (po Kebeljski transverzali)

Access to starting point:
Highway Maribor - Ljubljana we leave at exit Tepanje. From the roundabout we drive to the village Tepanje and go in the direction of Slovenska Bistrica, but only to a crossing where we will notice signs for Oplotnica. Here we go left and on the road we drive to the mentioned settlement. We park in Oplotnica on one of the many parking lots (usually there is enough parking lots).

Path description:
The beginning of the path and first red hiking signposts we will notice in the center of Oplotnica, from where we continue towards the east on street Ulica Pohorskega bataljona. On the mentioned road, we walk to the spot, where signs for Lačna Gora point us to the left upwards on street Vinogradniška ulica, on which in two turns we get to the mentioned village.
For some time we are still relatively steeply ascending on asphalt, after that when asphalt road starts descending we leave it and we continue right past a religious symbol on a gentle path (by the path are signs for lake Črno jezero). After approximately a minute of additional walking, we go left into the forest (trail blaze and arrow on birch) through which we start ascending steeper to a forest road which we only cross. Above the road, the path turns left and gradually passes into more overgrown part, through which we quickly get to the church of St. Mohor.
From the church, we continue towards the north on at first gentle path, which passes into spruce forest and starts ascending steeper. The forest soon ends and the path through meadows brings us to the village Kebelj.
When we come to the first houses in the village we cross the main road (on the other side of the road are signposts, which show further path) and ascend towards the nearby residential house. Before yard we turn right on the path which leads on a larger meadow (this part isn't marked). We walk on a worse path through a meadow towards smaller wooden cottage, which is situated by first larger tree.
From the cottage, we walk to the nearby cross, where we go left (right cemetery at village Kebelj and water). Until now gentle path starts ascending steeper and passes into the forest. When we are in the forest almost unnoticeably Kebelj transversal joins (signs of the path are from here ahead for some time yellow-green). At the end of the steep part we will get to the ruins of the castle Zajčev grad.
Castle we bypass on the left side and we pass into the forest, where our path starts descending. At the end of the descent, we step on asphalt and we get to the village Nadgrad.
A little further, we get to the right turn, where we continue left in the direction of Kebelj transversal (right Sveti Trije Kralji and lake Črno jezero). The path ahead quickly brings us out of the forest and through a meadow brings us to the next farm. We continue past the farm on a gentle road which a little further leads past a smaller waterfall, after which we leave the road and we continue right. Next follows few minutes of ascent and we get to the farm Peterček, which we quickly bypass. The path returns into the forest and is further ascending towards the farm Grmi, by which there is situated old and big linden tree Grmova lipa. After the farm path returns into the forest and is ascending gently. Right before we step out of the forest, we cross a stream over a small bridge, and then through a meadow or on a grassy cart track we ascend to the farm Košir (during the ascent to the mentioned farm a beautiful view opens up towards Oplotnica).
From Košir we continue on a macadam road, on which we walk to the farm Adam (farm is situated in the settlement Kot), where we step on an asphalt road. On the asphalt we will walk to the farm Vršič (nearby are situated smaller lakes), from where we continue upwards. Next follows approximately 30 minutes of walking on an asphalt road to the mountain hut Dom na Osankarici (last 5 minutes isn't asphalted).
The path is recommended to walk in good weather, because during the ascent several times a nice view opens up.
