Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Luce, then continue on to the Logar Valley. After Solčava and 300 metres before the Logarska dolina Landscape Park, you will see signs for a parking area, which direct you to the left to the larger Podbreg parking area, where you park. The turnoff from the main road is near the 13. 5 km road marker.
b) From Črna na Koroškem, go over the Spodnje Sleme pass to Solčava, and from there continue to the right in the direction of the Logarska dolina. After Solčava and 300 metres before the Logarska dolina Landscape Park, you will see signs for a parking area, which direct you left to the larger Podbreg parking area, where you park. The turnoff from the main road is near the 13. 5 km road marker.
c) Cross the Pavličev Vrh pass into Slovenia, then continue driving towards the Logarska dolina. When you reach the junction where the road to the Logarska dolina Landscape Park turns off to the right, continue straight ahead, then after 300 metres turn right into a large caravan park, where you park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the main road towards the Logarska dolina valley, and then a few metres after crossing the Jezera stream over a bridge, turn left onto the macadam road. The dirt road quickly leads to another bridge, where after the Črna stream (the Črna stream is the second source of Savinjek) continue to the right, initially still on the dirt road, which quickly turns into a wide cart track. The way ahead leads along the steep cart track, which is followed at the crossroads in the route where the "main" cart track continues. Higher up, at a crossroads at an altitude of approximately 1200 metres, follow the right-hand cart track, which then crosses the slopes between Icmanikova and Logarska peč to the right. Cart track soon ends, and from the end of cart track we continue along a lesser path or track which continues in the same direction across the slopes. After less than 5 minutes of traversing, we reach another cart track (which can also be reached by the above-mentioned cart track), which climbs steeply along a kind of ridge in the last part, and which we reach near its end. From the end of cart track (the end of cart track is at an altitude of approximately 1350 to 1400 m), we follow a prominent path which crosses the slopes to the right, and soon the path joins an old waymarked path which ascends to a gully, where the abandoned waymarked path climbs steeply up alongside the gully. Climb steeply for a few minutes, then, when you leave the ravine, continue slightly right, where you see another faded marker, and the track ends here. Continue through the clearing to the nearby Icmanik's Tent, where you will reach the marked trail Plesnikova planina - Strelovec.
After the tent, take the newer cart track, from which the marked path soon branches off slightly to the right, and we continue on cart track, as the path is impassable in the upper part due to the branches that were deposited during the construction of the nearby forest road. The cart track ascends in a few minutes to Icmanikova planina, where there is a marked crossroads and from where a fine view opens up.
