Spodnje Sleme - Govca (Olševa)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Luče (to here from Mozirje or from Kamnik over the Volovljek pass (Kranjski Rak)), then continue driving towards Logarska dolina. In the village Solčava we leave the main road towards Logarska dolina and continue driving right in the direction of Podolševa, Spodnje Sleme pass and Črna na Koroškem. Further on the road loses the asphalt surface, and after a few kilometres at the junction in Podolševa we turn right towards Črna na Koroškem. The road, which further mainly ascends transversely, brings us after some time to the Spodnje Sleme pass. We park at a suitable place on the mentioned pass.
B) We drive to Črna na Koroškem (to here from Ravne na Koroškem or from Šoštanj over the Spodnje Sleme pass), then continue driving towards Luče. Initially still an asphalt road, higher up it becomes macadam and brings us to the junction of several roads on the Spodnje Sleme pass. We park at a suitable place on the mentioned pass.

Path description:
From the starting point on the Spodnje Sleme pass we head onto the narrow road following the Olševa signs. Initially we walk along the road, then the markers lead us transversely into the forest, where we continue very briefly on the forest path. The path then returns to the road, and we walk along it for about half an hour, i.e., to the junction on Zgornje Sleme.
We continue on the marked path in the direction of Olševa, which quickly brings us to a pasture along which we then ascend. Initially we ascend along the pasture fence, then the path turns slightly to the right and through the forest begins to ascend somewhat more steeply. Further on we ascend steeply for quite some time, then, when we emerge from the forest just below Lepi vrh (1616 m), it levels out and transitions to a moderate and panoramic ridge.
From Lepi vrh onwards we walk along the panoramic ridge, the path is gentle, so we can peacefully observe the peaks above Logarska dolina and Robanov kot. Further the path leads us over the indistinct summit Odenični hriber (1863 m) and the somewhat more pronounced Gladki vrh (1850 m), where the path from Podolševa joins from the left.
A short descent follows and we arrive at a small saddle, where the path to the Planinski dom on the Kumer farm branches off to the right downwards, and we continue straight in the direction of Govca.
The path ahead continues along the left, mostly southern side of the ridge, where it crosses some steeper and at two points also exposed slopes (especially in wet conditions and snow risk of slipping). Further on the slope levels out somewhat, the path ascends somewhat more steeply. With nice views towards the mountains above Logarska dolina we quickly reach a kind of side ridge, along which we ascend in a few minutes to the main ridge of Olševa. Here the path turns left and after some 10 steps of further walking brings us to Govca.

On the way: Zgornje Sleme (1308m), Odenični hriber (1863m), Gladki vrh (1850m), Visoka peč (1849m)
