Access to the starting point:
From Sevnica or Celje, drive to Zidani Most, where you head towards Hrastnik. At the end of the village of Zidani Most, signs for the Church of Our Lady Širje direct you right up a narrow asphalt road that climbs steeply. When the steepness of the road eases, you will see a roadside parking lot on the right hand side of the road, where you park.
From Hrastnik, drive towards Zidane Most. Shortly after the village Suhadol, the road to the church of Marija Širje turns sharp left. Continue following the above description.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road, which takes you across a large meadow to the church in the village in five minutes. Just a few steps away from the church, signs direct you to the left on a path that goes between the houses. Behind the houses, take the cart track, which leads to a macadam road after a few minutes. Follow this road, which climbs moderately and gets worse, until it emerges from the forest. Here, continue right up the cart track, which takes you past a double trestle (greenhouse) and leads you to a fork in the road. Continue along the marked path towards Gora. The path continues through the forest again, where it climbs crosswise. After a while, the path turns right and shortly afterwards passes out of the forest onto grassy slopes, where the steepness also eases. A short walk across the meadow is followed by a crossroads.
Here we continue left in the direction of the house at Gore (Gore) along a dirt track which leads us in a few minutes to a small hamlet. The path then leads us past the houses to the asphalted road, where we continue to the left. Continue walking for some time along the road, which descends gently. The walking along the road is shortened in places by shortcuts along which the marked path also runs. After a few minutes, the path begins to climb again and leads us along the road to our home in the mountains. From home, you can continue for another two minutes to the Church of St George, which is located on a small rise near the home.
