GEOSS - Dom Ušte - Žerenk (via Pivkelj)

Access to the starting point:
a) From the road Ljubljana - Litija, in the settlement Spodnji Hotič, turn left (from Litija, right) in the direction of the settlement Vače. Follow the ascent to the village, then go left and follow the signs for GEOSS. In the village of Spodnja Slivna, you will reach the Vrabec Inn, from where it is only a short 100 m drive to the GEOSS parking lot.
b) From the Moravče - Izlake road, in Kandrše, by the Trata bar, turn right (left from Izlake) onto the road towards GEOSS. There is some climbing, then continue right (left Vače) out of the junction and follow the signs for GEOSS at the following junctions. Park in the parking lot next to GEOSS.

Path description:
From GEOSS, return to the Vrabec Inn, and from there continue left (straight Zgornja Gora and St Florjan) and start climbing crosswise. At the end of the right-hand bend, leave the asphalt road and turn left onto a marked footpath that begins to climb through the forest. At the chapel, continue left and climb to the abandoned Dom na Slivni, where you rejoin the asphalt.
From here you can climb in a minute to the nearby church of St. Neže, which offers a nice view, otherwise continue to the right and continue along the road for a short distance. The road soon turns off to the left onto the wide, marked cart track (do not follow the road leading to the nearby transmitters), which you continue to climb, following the signs at the crossroads. Higher up, a marked but unmarked trail from the hamlet Vrtače joins us from the left, and we continue slightly to the right, where we quickly reach the next crossroads.
From the crossroads, continue left towards Pivklja, which is reached in 5 minutes, then return to the crossroads and continue left (straight ahead if you have not climbed to the top).
A little further on, take the cart track downhill to the right (straight to the nearby Ušenišče quarry), and the descent ends quickly, followed by some more climbing. Higher up the path turns left, lays down and leads out of the forest. Continue along the edge of the forest to the macadam road, where an unmarked path joins from the right, leading past St Florian.
Follow the road to the left, passing a signpost, to the hamlet of Štance Laze, after which the road begins to descend more visibly. Before a sharp right turn, a beautiful view of the surrounding hills opens up, and the macadam road becomes asphalt lower down. Continue descending, and at the crossroads continue straight ahead. Lower down, the road is laid, and then leads us past the ranch pr Oselet, after which we go slightly right, onto a path that crosses the lane of a forest and quickly leads us to the Ušte - Žerenk Mountain Home.
