Path description:
The route starts along the Primož Road and climbs gently north-eastwards. After a few minutes, we reach a crossroads where a mountain sign for Bricnik directs us to the left, and we quickly reach the beginning of the village of Sv. Primož nad Muto. At the next crossroads, the signs direct us to the left, and we then climb cross-country over a grassy slope. When the road turns right a little higher up, it loses its asphalt coating and transitions into the forest, where it makes a right-hand serpentine. Soon we are back out of the forest, where the path leads past the Sušek homestead, and slightly above the homestead we continue straight ahead or slightly right from the crossroads. Follow the macadam road around the turn-off to the Breznik excursion farm, and at the next crossroads, by the sign for the Janež farm, leave the road and continue along the marked path, which climbs steeply through the forest, but when it is laid, it joins the macadam road. Continue along the scenic road, from which a beautiful view opens up towards Pohorje, Uršlji gori, Peć, and in the distance you can also see the Kamniško Savinjske Alps. Pass the Pentat farm buildings on the left, then reach an asphalt road, which you just cross and continue towards Bricnik (the direction sign for Zavetišče Onuk - Glavar points to the right, but it is better to continue towards Bricnik for this destination as well). Then climb through the forest, and when you reach the Žaucer homestead, pass it on the right. There is a few minutes' cross-climb to the right and a left serpentine, after which the asphalt road and the marked crossroads are reached again.
From the crossroads, continue left (straight up Bricnik, Shelter Glavar on the right) and after a few minutes' walk along the asphalt road you will reach the Church of St. Primož and Felicijan, from which you will have a beautiful view.
