Path description:
From the center of Moravče we continue by the main road which leads towards Izlake. We at first walk on a sidewalk, a little after company Nissan Krulc, we go slightly right on the road in the direction of settlements Ribče and Dešen and mountain hut Planinski dom Ušte - Žerenk. The path ahead starts ascending on a little narrower asphalt road, from which when we look back a nice view opens up towards Limbarska gora, and in good visibility, the view reaches all to the highest peaks of Kamnik Savinja Alps. Soon after Moravče ends, we get to a hamlet Podbrdo, where we leave the asphalt road and we continue left in the direction of the mountain hut and Sveti Miklavž.
Behind the houses, which we bypass on the left side, the path goes into the forest and starts ascending a little more, and quite quickly it also splits.
We choose the left path (right Sveti Miklavž), which is ascending diagonally towards the left, and higher it widens into a newer cart track. Few minutes we are ascending on the mentioned cart track, and then again on a footpath which higher crosses the macadam road, and few 10 strides higher we reach an asphalt road which we follow to the left. We walk on the road to a smaller saddle, where blazes point us to the left, on the path which crosses a panoramic meadow, through which with nice views, we walk to the nearby mountain hut.
