Path description:
The route starts near the Church of St. Lawrence. Follow the road in the route Pesek past the cemetery, which is on your left. Higher up, at the crossroads by the Hojnik Chapel, a signpost points straight ahead. Above the village, at a bend, turn left onto a footpath that goes into the bush. After a few steps, step onto the road, and a few metres further on, at the edge of the forest, turn right onto a side ridge that stretches all the way to the vicinity of the Lovren Lakes. The path crosses the forest road several times, higher up it turns under the left edge of the Kasjak bank at 1014 m and the Fak's kogel at 1188 m on Recenjak. After a while we reach the clearing Vrelenk 1165 m, where there is a nice view. The old Kasjak hut used to stand here, but only the foundations remain.
The way forward takes us into the forest again and soon we cross the Pesek-Pesnik forest road, where we are already close to the Planinka plateau on the northern edge of the Lovrenže Lakes. Further on, the path leads us out of the forest, where views open up northwards to Jezerski vrh and north-westwards all the way to the Kamnik Alps. Soon we reach a crossroads of mountain paths, where we join the path from the route of Ribniška hut. Turn left and after about 30 minutes of further walking reach the next crossroads. Here is the crossroads again, where the path from the route of Roga joins. The signpost points to the left again, and from here it is not far to the lakes. Over wooden bridges and up the slope, and in another 5 minutes, the path leads to the Lovren Lakes.
