Loke - Sveta planina (Partizanski vrh)

Access to the starting point:
a) From the Ljubljana - Maribor motorway, take the Vransko exit and continue along the parallel old road towards Celje. Drive along the main road for a few kilometres, then signs for Tabor and Ojstriška vas point you to the right. Continue through Ojstriška vas to Tabor, and from there continue towards the village of Loke. In Loke, you will come to a crossroads where you will turn left towards Zajčeva koča (straight ahead Krvavica) along a road that will soon lead you to the next crossroads. Here, continue right in the route "Zajčeva koča - footpath" (straight ahead Zajčeva koča on the road) along the road, which crosses a bridge and then leads to a small roadside parking lot on the other side of a meadow.
b) From the motorway Maribor - Ljubljana, take the exit Šentrupert and then continue along the parallel old road towards Trojany. Follow the main road for a few kilometres and then the signs for Tabor and Ojstriška vas will direct you to the left. Continue through Ojstriška vas to Tabor, and from there continue towards the village of Loke. In Loke you will come to a crossroads, where you continue left towards Zajčeva koča (straight ahead Krvavica) along a road that will soon lead you to the next crossroads. Here, continue right in the route "Zajčeva koča - footpath" (straight ahead Zajčeva koča on the road) along the road, which crosses a bridge and then leads to a small roadside parking lot on the other side of a meadow.

Path description:
Leave the road near the parking lot and continue climbing along cart track, which branches off the road to the left. After a few metres, Cart track descends to a stream, crosses it and turns into a steep footpath on the other side, which climbs higher parallel to another track. The path, which passes through the forest, leads us higher up to a partly overgrown clearing, after which it turns slightly right and leads us to a dilapidated house.
Here, continue on the right-hand side of the house along cart track, which climbs crosswise (this part of the path is poorly marked) and makes a left-hand bend a little higher up. The moderately steep track then turns slowly to the right and leads us higher up to grassy hay meadows above which we cross a less good forest road.
Continue on the poorly marked cart track, which after a while starts to descend and then joins a dirt road, which is followed to the right to the next crossroads. At the junction in the middle of the bend, continue and after about 100 m of further walking, the road leads to a place where a worse forest road branches off to the right downhill towards Zajčeva koča.
Here, continue straight ahead in the direction of "Vrhe" and continue your ascent along the road. A little higher up, the path leads us to a chapel, where we continue straight on, and we continue along the road, which leads us on past the Krvavičnik farm. Just above the farm, we arrive at the next crossroads, where we continue sharp left. The path ahead leads us over a grassy slope with a view, and then the road leads to the next crossroads, where we step onto an asphalt road. Follow the road to the right, and it gradually passes to the other side of Kisovec Peak. Next, we cross-climb through the forest for a short time, and then walk past a few houses and look at the nearby Javor to the Vrhe Mountain Home.
From the mountain home, first walk to the nearby St Lenart Church and then a little further to the crossroads by the NOB monument. Here, continue along the right-hand road in the direction of Sveta planina, or Partizanski vrh (Partizan Hill). The road continues along the west side, crossing the slopes of Javor and leading to a crossroads where you turn left towards Svete mountain pasture. Continue through the forest for some time, and then the road leads to grassy slopes, from which a beautiful view of the surrounding area opens up. The road leads us on past a few houses, then we arrive at a small preval where we join the path from Podmeje. Here we continue to the right and after a few steps of further walking we arrive at the guest house on Sveti mountain pasture. From here, walk to the nearby church, turn left and after a short climb over a grassy slope reach the top of Sveta mountain pasture.
