A) From highway Ljubljana - Maribor, we go to the exit Šentrupert, and then we continue driving in the direction Mozirje and valley Logarska dolina. Immediately after settlements Ljubija and just before the beginning of Mozirje, at the roundabout, we turn right in the direction of Bele Vode. Further, we again drive through Ljubija, and at first still asphalt road we follow through the valley of river Ljubija and higher stream Štajerska Kramarica. At the homestead Rebršak from the right joins asphalt road from Bele Vode, and we still continue straight. Further, we again follow the macadam steeply upwards and then at the first crossroad, we continue left (right a homestead Prevnik), in second right (left homestead Zgornji Brložnik) and in third left (right road towards Andrejev dom na Slemenu).

Path description:
From the saddle Kramarica we continue on a macadam road in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Smrekovcu. Already after few 10 meters of walking, we will get to a marked crossing, where we have two options to continue.
We continue on the right path in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Smrekovcu over Bukov stan (straight Dom na Smrekovcu on the road). From the crossing ahead, the path starts ascending steeply over steeper slope. During the ascent at first we cross steep cart track, and when we get to other cart track, we follow it to the left. Here the path flattens, and the cart track which crosses slopes towards the left, we follow only few minutes, and then we continue on at first parallel marked mountain path, which from the cart track branches off slightly to the left. Next follows crossing of forested slopes, and meanwhile path is turnning more and more to the right. A little higher we get to panoramic grassy meadow, behind which, the path returns into the forest and only a little further joins the macadam road, on which we quickly walk to the nearby mountain hut Dom na Smrekovcu.
