Vitanje - Viewpoint on Stenica

Access to starting point:
From Vojnik, Mislinja or Slovenske Konjice, we drive to Vitanje, where we park on the parking lot in the center of the settlement, we park on a marked parking lot by Hudinja (at the starting point, there is parish church of St. Peter and Pavel). In the settlement it is possible to park also elsewhere.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the bridge over Hudinja, where at the crossroad we continue left in the direction of Slovenske Konjice and the path on Stenica. After the nearby chapel we at the pedestrian crossing carefully cross the main road and few 10 strides we still continue on a sidewalk in the direction of Slovenske Konjice, and then blazes lead us slightly right on a steeper narrow road, on which we quickly ascend on the nearby hill, where there is the church of the Assumption of Mary.
Before the church we continue left and on an asphalt path we return to the main road, where we few steps still continue on the sidewalk, and then signs for Stenica point us to the right. Only a little further, we over the bridge cross the stream Hočna, and a narrower asphalt path in a gentle to moderate ascent past the trough brings us to a crossroad, where we go left in the direction of Stenica. At the next crossroad, we go slightly right, and then on an asphalt road, we ascend to the left turn, where we leave the road and we continue on a wider cart track in the direction of Stenica.
The wide cart track after few steps, we leave and we continue left into the forest, where we immediately start ascending steeply. Next follows a steep ascent on with a forest covered northwestern ridge and when the path flattens, we quickly get to the vantage point on Stenica, where there is an inscription box.
