Ribnica (Lepovče) - Stene svete Ane

Access to the starting point:
a) From Ljubljana, drive towards Kočevje, then turn slightly left at the beginning of Ribnica towards the Lepovče industrial zone. Drive through the zone for a while, then turn left towards the nearby forest or road leading to Mali gora and the waste dump. Park at the end of the industrial zone in a suitable place.
b) From Kočevje drive towards Ljubljana, then when you arrive in Ribnica turn right towards the Lepovče industrial zone. After the railway line, continue straight ahead, and before the road turns into a forest, park at a suitable place at the end of the industrial zone.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the road in the direction of St. Anne and TIGR, and walk along it for only a few minutes, as the signs for St. Anne then direct us to the left on a gently sloping path, along which we continue to see a number of signs for the Ribnica Natural History Trail. The trail then ascends mostly gently, only descending to a macadam road, which you follow to the left to the nearby cave home.
From the cave house, next to which Francetova jama is located, continue along the marked path towards St. Anne. The path ahead becomes slightly steeper and crosses a road leading towards a small hamlet (marked on the map as the homestead of Seljan). Above the road, the path leads us across a meadow and a strip of scrub to the previously delimited hamlet, where we continue to the right in the direction of the sloping path. The path then gradually turns into the forest and leads past several well-marked crossroads. This is followed by about 20 minutes of slightly steeper ascent and the path from Steljnik, Črnega vrha and Makoš joins us from the right. A few steps higher, we reach the Church of St Anne, which offers a beautiful view of Ribnica and Velika Gora.
From the church, descend towards the nearby mountain hut, which is reached after less than a minute's walk.
On the other side of the hut and slightly below it, you will find the continuation of the mountain trail towards Grmada and the St. Anne's Wall. The way forward continues for a short time along the left side of the wooded ridge, then gradually switches to the right side, where we cross the slopes to a nearby crossroads.
From the crossroads, continue left and within a minute climb to the top of the path, which is overgrown with scrub.
