Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Žalec and follow the road towards Arja vas. At the crossroad at the end of the Arja vas, we continue left towards Celje. Further, the road through the village Levec brings us in Celje, where at big crossroad (almost at the beginning of Celje) we continue left towards the village Lopata. Only few ten meters after the village Lopata, the road towards Šentjungert branches off to the left. We park on a parking lot by bus stop at the beginning of the road towards the village Šentjungert.
From Maribor side we can leave the highway at exit Celje - center, and then to the above mentioned crossroad we drive in the direction of Ljubljana. Further, follow the upper description.

Path description:
From the bus stop, we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of Gora. The road which is at first ascending gently leads us through the village Gorica, after which we come in dispersed settlement Šentjungert, where blazes point us to the left, at first past houses and then through a meadow upwards. On the top of the meadow we come on the road, where we continue right on a yard of one of the houses and then immediately left on a footpath which higher ascends by the grazing fence. Only a little further, we again step on the road which we follow few steps, to the next crossing. Blazes point us on a footpath which ascends steeper through the forest. After a short ascent, we again step on the road which we follow upwards. We continue on the road which from just summited secondary peak, in a gentle descent brings us on the saddle between the both peaks. Further, we continue on the road which ascends a little steeper and in few minutes brings us to the mountain hut Šentjungert.
