Griže - Dragov dom na Homu (via Zahom)

Access to the starting point:
Exit the Styria motorway at exit Žalec, then follow the signs for Žalec. Via Žalec follow the signs for Griže, which you will reach shortly after the bridge over the Savinja River. In Griže, turn right towards the cemetery, and we park in the parking lot opposite the parish church of St Pancras.

Path description:
From the parking lot opposite the church, continue up the asphalt road, and at the nearby crossroads, turn right in the direction of Homa and Šešč pri Prebold. The road continues past two chapels and then descends to a crossroads near the inn at Zibiki.
Here, go slightly left in the direction of Hom na Hom and the Kotar excursion farm (direct route to Hom and Hom over Lajnarjev hill).
The way forward begins again to climb slightly, and initially leads us past a few houses. The hills soon end, and the path along which we see some rare markings leads us through the forest. Higher up, we reach a crossroads where the road to the right branches off towards the Kotar excursion farm, and we continue along the main road, which continues to climb moderately.
At a couple of junctions we follow the main road, then there are two short serpentines. A little further on, the path from Zabukovica joins us from the left, and from Pongrac we arrive in Matke (the hamlet of Zahom). Here we soon reach a small pass between Kamnik on the left and Hom on the right.
Continue right towards Hom (straight ahead Matke), where you will climb a short distance on an asphalt road, and then take a slight right onto a forest footpath. Higher up, cross an asphalt road to the right, and quickly arrive at the edge of the forest above it, where you will have a fine view of the surrounding hills. A dirt track leads to a macadam road higher up, which you follow up to the left, and at a nearby water fountain you turn right onto a steep footpath that climbs through the forest. At a small crossroads, go straight ahead towards Hom, and when you reach an asphalt road, continue your ascent. The road soon becomes a dirt track, and then, crossing the eastern slopes of Homa past a house, you reach a marked crossroads where you join up with the other paths from Griž, Matki and Šešč pri Prebold.
Go left here, first past the house, and then along the steep road to reach the Church of St Mary Magdalene and the Drago Dom na Homo in a few minutes.
