Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Šentrupert, and then we continue driving in the direction Mozirje and valley Logarska dolina. At the beginning of Mozirje from the roundabout we turn right in the direction of the settlement Bele Vode, and then we further follow the signs for Ljubijski graben. Higher, the asphalt ends and after shorter quite steep part the road flattens and past the homestead Rožman brings us to a water catchment, which is situated near the confluence of the rivers Ljubija and Kramarica. We park on an appropriate place by the water catchment.
B) From Ljubno ob Savinji or Gornji Grad we drive to Mozirje, and there from a roundabout near the store Hofer we continue in the direction of Bele Vode, and then we further follow the signs for Ljubijski graben. Higher, the asphalt ends and after shorter quite steep part the road flattens and past the homestead Rožman brings us to a water catchment, which is situated near the confluence of the rivers Ljubija and Kramarica. We park on an appropriate place by the water catchment.

After the bridge over the river Paka and behind the railway track at the crossroad we continue straight in the direction of Bele Vode and also in the next crossroads, we follow the mentioned direction. Further, we drive past the church in Bele Vode, and then we get to a saddle north from Sveti Križ. After the saddle, the road starts descending, and then in diagonal descent brings us into a valley of the stream Kramarica, where we continue left. Further, we are descending by the stream Kramarica, after we get to a confluence of the rivers Kramarica and Ljubija we park on an appropriate place by the water catchment.

Path description:
From the starting point by the water catchment we continue slightly right on a driving road (left source of Ljubija 3 minutes), which further leads along the stream Kramarica. After few minutes of walking, we get to a meadow, where there stands a smaller wooden cross, and when the road returns into the forest, on the right we notice a poorly visible beginning of the footpath which ascends in the forest. Signs for Šalek mountain trail quickly lead into a dense forest, where the footpath becomes easy to follow and leads us along the torrential riverbed. The path soon avoids the riverbed more to the left and then again gradually gets closer to it and higher crosses it, so that same as at the beginning we walk on the right side of the torrent. A well-settled footpath short time leads by the edge of the forest and then through a meadow we reach an asphalt road which we reach few 10 strides above the smaller mountain pass.
We continue on the road which we reached (from the mountain pass left there are homesteads Rebršak and Luka, from the mountain pass slightly right Savinek, and from the mountain pass right on a footpath continues Šalek mountain trail) and further we walk on an unmarked road which leads towards Sveti Križ. The path ahead leads us on a steep asphalt road or on a marked shortcut, which leads on a steep forest footpath. Further, the footpath few times crosses an asphalt road, and after approximately 30 minutes from the mountain pass Homec we reach the top of Sveti Križ, where there are a large number of ecclesiastical buildings and a transmitter.
