Galicija - Planinski dom Šentjungert

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Maribor take the exit Žalec (Arja vas) and then continue to Velenje. Follow the main road towards Velenje to Velika Pirešica, where you turn right onto the road towards the villages of Pernovo and Galicija. The road continues westwards, climbs a little further and then descends into the valley of the Podsevčnica stream. Here the road starts to turn more and more to the left, and we follow it to a small crossroads, at which we see the mountain signs for Dom na Šentjungert. There are no parking spaces at the starting point, so we have to park a little earlier in a suitable place along the road.

Path description:
From the crossroads, at which you will see a mountain direction sign for Dom na Šentjungert, continue along the narrower road to the right in the route already mentioned. The road first climbs gently over meadows, then becomes a little steeper and leads us past a few houses. At a small crossroads behind a chapel, turn left and follow the road almost to its end. Just before the end of the road, continue straight into the woods (at the point where you leave the road, it turns right and then ends at a nearby residential house) on a marked footpath that climbs through the woods. Continue along the forest path, which occasionally climbs quite steeply. After about 30 minutes' walk from the starting point, leave the forest path and follow the asphalt road to the left. Continue up the moderately steep road, which takes about 10 minutes to reach the Dom na Šentjungert and, a few metres higher, the church of St Kunigunde.
