Access to starting point:
We leave Štajerska highway at exit for Slovenske Konjice, and then we follow the signs for Zreče. When we get to Zreče, we park on a parking lot at spa Terme Zreče.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the road which continues towards the north, and we soon get to a marked crossing, where the marked path branches off to the right towards Gorenje and Rogla, and here we continue on the stairs downwards, where past NOB monument we get to another road which we follow to the right. The path ahead leads us past Petrol gas station, and when we get to a roundabout we go left in the direction of Brinjeva gora (sign of the path PP1). The path ahead leads us across the river Dravinja, and when a little ahead the road turns right we go slightly left, again in the direction of Brinjeva gora. Only a little further, the road once again splits, and this time we continue right in the direction of hiking path on Brinjeva gora (left - driving road towards Brinjeva gora), where the path leads us past the chapel. After the chapel, we continue slightly left and we start ascending on a narrower asphalt road which past the water supply structure brings us to the farm, after which we leave the road and we continue left in the direction of a marked path on Brinjeva gora. The path ahead leads us on a cart track which is diagonally ascending through the forest, and when we leave the forest, by the pasture we diagonally ascend to an asphalt road, where the path splits.
We continue right on the asphalt road (left downwards we can descend into Zreče, sharply right leads the path towards the church of St. Neža) and there past another turn-off of the path towards Brinjeva gora we ascend to a saddle near the farm Pudgrošek, where we go left in the direction of the inn Zimrajh and church of St. Martin (right - Brinjeva gora).
To the inn Zimrajh we get into few minutes, and we continue by the inn (to the left leads the road to Zreče, and right towards the settlement Zlakova) and we are then short time ascending by the edge of the forest and then through a meadow to the nearby church of St. Martin, which is situated on a panoramic hill.
