Šentjur - Rifnik

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Maribor take the exit Dramlje and follow the road in the route Šentjur. In Šentjur, at the traffic lights, continue straight into the underpass under the railway line and follow the road in the direction of Šentrupert. Just past the sign at the end of Šentjur, you will see a parking lot on the right side of the road and mountain signs for Resevno.

Path description:
From the parking lot we return along the road about 100m back towards Šentjur, where we see the mountain signs for Rifnik by the bus stop. A marked footpath directs you to the steps that climb up across the meadow. Next, the path crosses a short lane of wodland and then leads to a tarmac road, which is followed for some time to a junction, where you continue straight up a minor road in the direction of Rifnik (to the left the ruins of Reicheneck Castle 5 minutes). The deteriorating road then changes to a cart track, which is followed in the direction of the archaeological site of Rifnik. A little higher up, the cart track turns into a footpath which climbs steeply for a short time and then quickly leads to the top of Rifnik.

On the way: Grad Rifnik (Reicheneck) (450m)
