Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Celje take the exit Vransko. Continue driving along the old road in the direction of Ljubljana, but only to the point where the road to Vransko branches off to the right. On the west side of Vransko you will see a road heading towards the village of Prapreče and Vologa. Follow the road, which then starts to climb steeply, through the village of Vologa to the Lipa Prevala, where you park in one of the car parks.
Access from the Zadrečka valley is also possible.
Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the dirt road in the direction of Smolnik and Menina mountain pasture. After a moderately steep road, which passes through the forest the whole time, after a good 10 minutes' walk we reach a marked crossroads, where we continue to the left. The road gently slopes further and then continues crossing the slopes of Smolnika. After a while we will notice signs for Smolnik along the road, which direct us sharp right to the rather overgrown cart track in summer. Follow the cart track for a few 10 steps and then the signs direct you to the left on a steep footpath which continues to climb along and along an undistinguished ridge. Higher up, the path is laid, and then within a few minutes of further walking it leads us to the forested summit of Smolnik.
