Path description:
From the bus stop, we continue towards the center of Bukovica, and after approximately 50 meters we go left on a side road, on which we walk past few more houses. At the smaller crossroad, we continue on a slightly right road which past the last house leads in the forest, where we continue walking on the forest road. The road continues without large changes in altitude, at the crossroads we follow it in the direction of Mlinčki. A little further, the road changes into a cart track, and it leads past a swamp and later over short open terrain. Cart track soon widens into a macadam road, and we walk there to marked turn-off to the right. A sign for Mlinčki point us on a footpath which after few 10 strides joins the cart track which comes from the direction Suhadole. On the cart track, we walk about a minute and the path brings us to Mlinčki.
At Mlinčki we continue left and start ascending diagonally towards the left. We soon join the cart track, on which we start ascending steeper, by the path, we are accompanied by stations of "Way of the cross of Slovenianness", which also help us with orientation at some crossings. During the ascent occasionally a view opens up a little towards Kamnik Savinja Alps, and higher when the path flattens it passes into the forest. During the ascent through the forest we join also other marked path, and we continue straight and also past last two stations of "Way of the Cross" we quickly get to panoramic peak.
