Loke - Planinski dom Vrhe

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 left in the direction of the cottage Zajčeva koča (straight Krvavica) on the road which soon brings us to the next crossroad. Here we continue right in the direction of "Zajčeva koča - peš pot" (footpath) (straight - Zajčeva koča on the road) on the road which crosses a bridge and then on the other side of the meadow brings us to a smaller parking lot by the road.
B) From highway Maribor - Ljubljana we go to the exit Šentrupert, and then we continue driving on the parallel old road towards Trojane. Few kilometers we drive on the main road, and then signs for Tabor and Ojstriška vas point us to the left. 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 left in the direction of the cottage Zajčeva koča (straight Krvavica) on the road which soon brings us to the next crossroad. Here we continue right in the direction of "Zajčeva koča - peš pot" (footpath) (straight - Zajčeva koča on the road) on the road which crosses a bridge and then on the other side of the meadow brings us to a smaller parking lot by the road.

Path description:
Near the parking lot, we leave the road and we continue the ascent on a cart track which from the road branches off to the left. The cart track after few meters of walking descends to a stream, crosses it and on the other side it changes into a steep footpath which is higher ascending parallel with another cart track. The path which runs through the forest higher brings us on a partly overgrown clearing, behind which it turns slightly to the right and it brings us to a decaying house.
Here we continue on the right side of the house on a cart track which is diagonally ascending (this part of the path is poorly marked) and a little higher makes a left turn. A moderately steep cart track is then slowly turning right and higher brings us on meadows above which we cross a bad forest road.
We continue on a poorly marked cart track which is eventually starts descending and then joins the macadam road which we follow to the right to the next crossroad. At the crossroad which is situated in the middle of the turn, we continue and the road after approximately 100 meters of additional walking brings us to the spot, where right downwards a worse forest road branches off towards the cottage Zajčeva koča.
Here we continue straight in the direction of "Vrhe" and we still continue the ascent on the road. A little higher, the path brings us to the chapel, where we go straight, and we continue on the road which further leads past the farm Krvavičnik. A little above the farm, we get to the next crossroad, where we continue sharply left. The path ahead leads us on a panoramic grassy slope, and then the road brings us to the next crossroad, where we step on an asphalt road. We follow the road to the right, and it gradually passes on the other side of the peak Kisovec. Further, we are short time ascending diagonally through the forest and then past few houses and with a view on the nearby Javor we walk to the mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe.
