Katarija - Dom na Slivni

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Celje we go to the exit Krtina and Moravče. We follow the road ahead towards Moravče, where we turn right towards the village Ribče. The road towards Ribče at first ascends after that descends. When again starts ascending it brings us into the forest, where after a time macadam road branches off to the right. We park on a parking lot by the road near the crossroad. The parking lot is located on Moravče side.
From Litija we drive towards Ljubljana but only to the village Ribče. Here we turn right and follow the road ahead towards Moravče. The road then runs over a 580m saddle (to it we return on foot) after which the road starts descending. After a short descent, we come to a crossroad, where we park on a parking lot by the road.

Path description:
From the parking lot on Moravče side of the road, we continue on the asphalt road upwards to the village Katarija, which we reach after good five minutes of walking. Here we come to the crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Slivna (right Miklavž, straight Ribče). The road soon behind the village becomes a macadam. The road which is mostly slightly ascending we follow to a larger meadow over which runs power line. Right at the spot, where the road crosses power line we leave it and go left on a footpath, that is gently ascending through a meadow. The path through a meadow with nice views in two minutes brings us to the mountain hut.
From the hut, we continue in the direction of Zgornja Slivna (Pivkelj) on the path which soon brings us on the forest road. After few minutes of walking from the hut, the road brings us to a crossroad, where we continue on the bottom road. Only few ten meters ahead we come to the next crossing, where we continue right in the direction of GEOSS. The road which is moderately ascending after a time brings us in Štance Laze (smaller hamlet). Only a little further signs for Slivna point us right on a cart track. Further, we walk on a cart track which goes from a meadow in the forest. Cart track, which runs through the forest has more crossings so we carefully follow the blazes. After few descents and ascents path brings us to the next crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Pivklja (Slivna). The path which here a little steeper ascends in five minutes from a crossing brings us on a vegetated peak.
From the top, we return back to a crossing and we continue right (straight in the direction of arrival). After few minutes walk on a cart track we come on an asphalt road, where we continue right. The road on which we walk in few minutes brings us to hut Dom na Slivni.
