Loke - Krvavica (through window)

Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Vransko and we continue driving on the parallel old road towards Celje. Few kilometers we drive on the main road, and then signs for Tabor and Ojstriška vas point us to the right. Further, we drive through Ojstriška vas to the settlement Tabor, and from there we continue in the direction of village Loke. In Loke we come to a crossroad, where we continue straight (left - cottage Zajčeva koča) and we follow the road to the next crossroad, which is situated after the village Loke. Here we continue straight (slightly left) in the direction of "Presedle" and we follow the road to the parking lot on the right side of the road, by which we notice signposts for Krvavica.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we cross the road and go on a marked path in the direction of Krvavica. The path already at the very beginning goes into the forest and starts relatively steeply ascending. Higher, the steepness decreases a little and the path at the notification sign (walk on the path because of the nesting of rare birds species) turns sharply left. The path further again starts ascending steeply and after few minutes of additional walking brings us on an indistinct side ridge, where it turns to the right. We continue ascending through the forest on the path which higher brings us to a very steep slope. The steepness for a short time decreases, because the path leads us on an exposed and often muddy ledge. Next follows a steep ascent on a grassy slope, which is overgrown by a thin forest. On the top of this steep part, which in wet is dangerous for slipping, the path brings us to a natural window, through which runs a secured mountain path. With the help of stemples and a steel cable, we ascend on the top of the window, after which follows few 10 strides of walking on a steep grassy slope. The steepness then decreases and the path which still runs through the forest soon brings us to the summit of Krvavica.
