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.
From the mountain hut, we continue straight in the direction of Zgornja Slivna and the peak Pivkelj, where through a lane of a forest we reach an asphalt road. Further, we walk past the ranch Pr Oselet, where at the smaller crossroad we go on the bottom road, and at the next crossroad, we choose the upper right road, on which also signs for GEOSS point us to. Next follows an ascent through the forest, and the road quickly turns right and splits. We choose the left macadam road (the right road leads to the near house), on which we are ascending to a hamlet Štance Laze. In the mentioned hamlet, the road flattens, and we walk there to a marked crossing, where the marked path from the road turns right.
At the mentioned crossing, we leave the marked path which leads towards GEOSS and Pivkelj and we continue walking on the road, and it gradually starts descending. The mentioned road in a moderate descent we follow all the way to the church of St. Florjan, from which a beautiful view opens up.
From the church, we continue the descent to a hamlet Zgornja Gora, where the road becomes asphalted. Behind the houses, we leave the asphalt road and we continue right on a narrower macadam road which for some time passes into the forest, and there we continue to Spodnja Slivna, where past the turn-off towards the adventure park GEOSS, we get to a marked crossing at the inn Gostilna Vrabec.
We continue in the direction of GEOSS, to which we get in few minutes of walking on the asphalt road.
