Access to starting point:
From Mozirje we drive to Nazarje and we follow the road ahead towards Gornji Grad and Šmartno ob Dreti. Only a little after Lačja vas road in the direction of Čreta and Farbanca branches off to the left (turn-off is marked). The road which becomes a macadam and starts ascending, we then follow in the direction of Farbanca, where near the mountain hut we also park (we park a little below the hut on one of the parking lots by the road).
From Kamnik over mountain pass Črnivec we drive to Gornji Grad and follow the road ahead in the direction of village Bočna, Šmartno ob Dreti and Nazarje. Only a little after the village Pusto polje we notice a road which goes right in the direction of Čreta and Farbanca. Further, follow the upper description.
Path description:
From the mountain hut Dom planincev Farbanca we go on a footpath in the direction of Čreta and Tolsti vrh. The path goes already after few steps in the forest, where it starts moderately to steeply ascending. Only a little further, the path joins a wide cart track which is at first gently, after that steeply ascending and higher joins the macadam road (to here possible also on the road).
We continue straight and the road after 2 minutes of additional walking brings us to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Čreti (right Tolsti vrh). The road which is further only gently ascending then brings us out of the forest, where after few additional minutes of walking, we come to a crossroad near the church of St. Katarina.
We again continue left and the road which for a short time a little steeper ascends quickly brings us to the mentioned church. We still continue on the road which soon brings us to a marked crossing, which is located right next to monument.
We have two options to continue. We can continue straight and to the mountain hut Dom na Čreti we descend past the church of the Holy Mother of God, or we continue right and to the mountain hut descend on a wide cart track.
On the way: Sveta Katarina (900m)
