Letuš - Grmada (Dobrovlje)

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 onto 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 takes 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 continue right (straight ahead Bezovec for 15 minutes) and again right at a small crossroads. Continue along the scenic asphalt road, which will take you downhill for a few minutes to reach the Dobrovlje Home.
Leave the asphalt road at the house and continue along the macadam road in the direction of Črete. The road quickly leads to a small hamlet, where you continue to the right, and then, after the houses, follow cart track in the direction of Čreta. The well-marked cart track starts descending over an initially still scenic slope and then passes into the lane of the forest, where it also crosses a macadam road. There is a slight climb to the nearby Kokovnik farm, and then a walk to the nearby chapel. At the chapel, the path enters the woods and then, after a short descent, joins the tarmac road. The road climbs moderately for a while and then joins the road from Nazarje and Mozirje. Continue straight ahead and follow the road up to a marked crossroads. At the crossroads, turn sharp left in the direction of the footpath to Čreto (straight ahead Čreta access by car). Continue along the forest road, which takes you along the edge of the meadow to the next crossroads.
Again, turn left (right Čreta) and continue the ascent following the St. John and St. Paul markers. The road, which continues over a steep grassy slope, quickly leads to the Planinšek farm, after which it transitions into a very narrow lane of a forest. The forest ends immediately, and the path leads us quickly past the chapel to the aforementioned church of St John and St Paul.
At the church, turn right in the direction of Grmada and continue along the folded cart track, which turns into a forest. Cart track soon climbs more moderately and in a few minutes leads to the top of Grmada.
