Access to starting point:
From Kamnik or Vransko we drive to valley Tuhinjska dolina. Soon after the village Zgornji Tuhinj (from Vransk a little before) at the gas station to the left (from Vransko to the right) a road towards the village Češnjice branches off. Further, we drive through the village Češnjice on the road which soon behind the village becomes a macadam and above the village brings us to a smaller crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Menina planina. The road that is mostly ascending we follow to the mountain pasture Biba and further to Dom na Menini planini, where we park on a settled parking lot.
From Mozirje or Gornji Grad, we drive to Zadrečka dolina, there in the settlement Bočna we notice signs for Menina planina, which point us on an ascending road. We then follow this road to the settled parking lot near the mountain hut on Menina planina.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we at first walk to the mountain hut, and from there we continue on a marked path in the direction of Vivodnik. After a few 10 strides of easy walking, the path for a short time steeply ascends, and then it flattens and brings us on a larger grassy slope, where we run into the signpost with the caption "Vivodnik - krožna pot (circular path)". We continue slightly left (on the right path we can return) on a relatively gently sloping path, which quickly brings us in a short lane of a forest. Here the path for a short time ascends again, and then it brings us out of the forest, where in front of us we already notice a lookout tower on Vivodnik, which we reach after few steps of additional walking.
