Paka pri Velenju - Plakopec (Brezejec)

Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Žalec, and then we continue driving in the direction Velenje. In the main roundabout (2nd roundabout) in Velenje, below the ski jumping hill, we continue right in the direction of Slovenj Gradec. We drive through Velenje and settlement Paka pri Velenju. After approximately 2 km after the settlement Paka pri Velenju a sign with the caption Paški Kozjak points us right on a local road towards the quarry. We turn there and we park before or after the bridge over the river Paka.
B) From Koroška we drive through Slovenj Gradec towards Velenje. Between villages Gornji Dolič and Paka pri Velenju a sign with the caption Paški Kozjak points us left on a local road towards the quarry. We turn there and we park before or after the bridge over the river Paka.

Path description:
From the parking lot near the bridge over the river Paka we continue on the road past the quarry. Above the quarry we get to the first homesteads. Then we leave the road and we turn left on the mountain path.
First, we go on stairs, then on a steep meadow. We come back on the road and after 10 meters we again leave it and we turn left into the forest. The path takes us on a steep root path, vegetated with pine forest. We cross forest clearing and we again come back on the road.
From here we go on the road to a crossroad with signposts. At the crossroad, we turn left towards the plateau Visoko. Cart track after 15 minutes brings us to the top of grassy plateau Visoko.
From the top, we continue in the direction of signs for a vantage point (razgledna točka). From the vantage point, we descend to a saddle and then past some trees and rocks we ascend to the top of rocky ridge of Plakopec.
