Access to starting point:
A) We leave the highway at exit Slovenske Konjice and we go left, direction Žiče. In Žiče at the crossroad we turn left, direction Loče. In Loče at the roundabout, we turn in the direction of Poljčane - Zbelovo. We drive through Zbelovo, where on the end of the settlement, we see underpass under the railway track. We drive through the underpass and we immediately turn right, past the bus stop over an old wooden bridge and on the left we park on a smaller parking lot.
B) We leave the highway at exit Slovenska Bistrica-Jug (South) and we follow signposts in the direction of Poljčane. We drive through Poljčane, at the end of the settlement signs point us to right, direction Loče - Zbelovo. We follow the main road, until we get to the underpass under the railway. We don't turn right through the underpass, but left before the bus stop on the old wooden bridge, and then on the left we park on a smaller parking lot.
Path description:
When we park, we go on access road to a smaller company, where also a sign of the path Loško-Zbelovska pot point us to. At the company we stick to the left and we go by the fence to the forest, where there is the beginning of a macadam forest road. We all the time follow the road, until we get to a larger parking lot for foresters. Here the road ends, and we turn sharply right on a steep forest cart track. We all the time follow the cart track, because on part of the path due to a clearing the blazes are missing. If we carefully follow the main cart track, we soon get to a smaller panoramic part, and then again in the forest, where we turn right and we follow the blazes to the chapel of St. Hubert. Here at the crossing we turn right, and we all the time follow the blazes with letter L (path Loško-Zbelovska pot). We follow the forest path, until we notice on the left a smaller holiday cottage. By the holiday cottage we ascend on an asphalt road which we follow to the church of Holy Mary. Past the church a sign points us in the forest, where we are for some time ascending, and then we slightly descend to a cross on Marijine stopinje, where there is an inscription book.
