Dolina potoka Žep - Komen

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Šentrupert and we follow the road ahead towards the valley Logarska dolina. In the village Ljubno ob Savinji signpost for Smrekovec points us right. The road then runs through the center of the village, where we turn left again following the signs for Smrekovec. The road then brings us in Ljubenske Rastke, where at the crossroad near the church we continue left. We follow this road to the sharp right turn in the middle of which a macadam road branches off straight which we follow to a smaller parking lot at the end of it.

Path description:
From the parking lot at an old mill over a small bridge we cross the tributary of the stream Žep and then we ascend on a cart track which is ascending by the stream Žep. After few minutes of walking, we will notice a footpath which turns sharply right and for a short time steeply ascends. After a short ascent, the path brings us out of the forest on a smaller clearing on which stands log cabin Planinc.
We continue slightly left on a worse cart track, that starts gently ascending parallel with a torrent gully, which we notice right below. Cart track then eventually crosses the mentioned torrent and right after it, it brings us to a crossing. We continue on the right cart track which at first crosses slopes towards the right, and then in numerous zig-zags starts ascending steeper. Higher, we get to a forest road on which leads a marked path towards hospital Celje, and we continue straight. Only a little higher we cross another forest road, and then on a little worse visible path we start steeply ascending. The path which runs through the forest higher joins the marked path from Ljubenske Rastke. We continue on the path which is ascending diagonally through the forest, and when comes out of the forest it turns sharply left, where bypasses the peak Bezovec on which there is situated hunting observatory.
Ahead we carefully follow the blazes because the path leads us over numerous crossings of forest roads and cart tracks. Not very steep path then brings us to Telečje peči, where there stands a smaller wooden cottage. Here the path turns right and starts ascending steeper. Higher, the path joins the cart track which we then follow to the upper slope of Komen. Higher, the path passes out of the forest on more panoramic grassy slopes on which we ascend to a smaller wooden chapel (dedicated to St. Cyril and Methodius), where there is also a crossing. We continue straight upwards in the direction of Komen (left Travnik, right Smrekovec) on the path which after 10 minutes of additional walking brings us on a panoramic peak.
In the lower part, where the path isn't marked because of numerous cart tracks and the forest roads orientation is very difficult.
