Path description:
From the Moravče centre, continue along the main road leading to Izlaki. At first, walk along the pavement, and a little beyond the Nissan Krulc company, turn slightly right, onto the road towards Ribče and Dešen and the Ušte - Žerenk Mountain Home. The way forward begins to climb along a slightly narrower asphalt road, from which, looking back, we have a beautiful view towards Limbarska gora, and with good visibility the views reach all the way to the highest peaks of the Kamniško Savinjske Alps. Shortly after Moravče ends, we reach the hamlet of Podbrdo, where we leave the asphalt road and continue left in the direction of the mountain home and St. Nicholas.
After the houses, which you pass on the left, the path enters the forest and starts to climb a little more, but it also splits quite quickly.
Take the left path (St Nicholas on the right), which climbs crosswise to the left, and higher up widens into the newer cart track. Climb for a few minutes along the above-mentioned cart track, then again along the mountain path, which crosses a dirt road higher up, and a few 10 steps higher up, reaches an asphalt road, which is followed to the left. Walk along the road to a small pass, where signs direct you to the left, to a path that crosses a meadow, over which you can walk to the nearby mountain home, enjoying the beautiful views.
From the mountain lodge, continue straight on towards Zgornja Slivna and the top of Pivkelj, where you will reach an asphalt road through the lane of a forest. Continue past the Oselet Ranch, where you will reach a small crossroads on the lower road, and at the next crossroads take the upper right road, which is also marked for GEOSS. The road then climbs through the forest and quickly turns right and splits. Take the left macadam road (the right road leads to a nearby house), which ascends to the hamlet of Štance Laze. In the hamlet, the road is laid and you walk along it to a marked crossroads, where the marked path turns right off the road.
At this crossroads, leave the marked path leading to GEOSS and Pivklju and continue walking along the road, which gradually starts to descend. Follow the road in a moderate downhill as far as the Church of St Florian, from which a beautiful view opens up.
From the church continue downhill to the hamlet Zgornja Gora, where the road becomes asphalted. Leave the asphalt road behind the houses and continue right on the narrow macadam road, which turns into a forest, and continue along it to Spodnje Slivna, where, passing the turn-off to the adventure park GEOSS, you will arrive at the marked crossroads by the Vrabec Inn.
Continue in the direction of GEOSS, which is reached in a few minutes by walking along an asphalt road.
