Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Maribor motorway, take the Šentrupert exit and then continue in the direction of Mozirje and Logarska dolina. Follow the main road to Letuš, and turn left just before the main road crosses the Savinja River, and then immediately left again. Park a few 10 m higher in the parking lot under the church or next to the home of the Letuš Singers' Society.
Path description:
From the parking lot we continue along the road, which soon ends, and we continue along the marked cart track, which turns into a forest. We continue through the forest, following the markings carefully so as not to stray from the right path, due to the many forks in the trail. Initially quite a zložna path, then climbs more moderately and leads us to the farm Ujčnik. Here, turn right and then, just after the house, turn left on the path which climbs along the pasture fence. The path ahead leads us through the forest, which begins to climb slightly steeper. After a few minutes of moderate ascent, the path leads us to an asphalt road where we join the path from Braslov Lake.
We just cross the road and continue our climb on a ladder, which helps us with the steep climb, and then we continue our climb through the forest. The path ahead leads us past a bench, after which we are soon back on the road. Follow the road to the left, and we walk along it for a few metres, then continue right on the footpath, which soon crosses the road again. The way forward leads us through a short, partly overgrown clearing, which opens up a view of Bezovec. Continue along the road for a few minutes, then follow the marked shortcut up to Covnik's Cross.
Here you continue straight on past a small shelter (Čreta and Dom na Dobrovljah on the right) and climb over a meadow to the edge of the forest. Here you cross a pasture fence, and then, after a 15-minute walk through the forest, you reach the top of Bezovec.
