Source of Ljubija - Sveti Križ above Bele Vode

Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Maribor take the exit Šentrupert and then continue in the direction of Mozirje and Logarska dolina. At the beginning of Mozirje, turn right out of the roundabout in the direction of Bele Vode, then follow the signs for Ljubija graben. Higher up, the asphalt ends and after a short, rather steep section, the road is laid and leads past the Rožman homestead to a water reservoir located near the confluence of Ljubija and Kramarica. Park in a suitable place next to the water reservoir.
b) From Ljubno ob Savinji or Gornji Grad, take the Mozirje, and from there, from the roundabout near the Hofer shop, continue in the direction of Bele Vode, then follow the signs for the Ljubija graben. Higher up, the asphalt ends and after a short, rather steep section, the road is laid and leads past the Rožman homestead to a water reservoir located near the confluence of Ljubija and Kramarica. Park in a suitable place next to the water reservoir.
c) Drive to Šoštanj, where from the roundabout by the TPP we continue in the direction of Bele Vode. After the bridge over the river Páka and after the railway line at the crossroads, continue straight on in the direction Bele Vode and follow the direction mentioned above at the following crossroads. Continue past the church to Bele Vode, and then arrive at the pass north of Sv. Križ. After the precipice, the road starts to descend and then, in a cross-descent, leads to the valley of the brook Kramarica, where we continue to the left. Continue descending along the KramaricaXX stream, then, when you reach the confluence of the Kramarica and LjubijaXX, park in a suitable space by the water reservoir.

Path description:
From the starting point at the water reservoir, continue slightly right along the driving road (left spring Ljubija 3 minutes), which leads us further along the Kramarica stream. After a few minutes of walking you reach a meadow where there is a small wooden cross, but when the road returns to the forest, on the right you can see the beginning of a less visible footpath that climbs into the forest. The signs for the Šaleška planinsko trail quickly lead us into the dense forest, where the trail becomes easy to follow and leads us along a torrential stream. The path soon retreats further to the left, then gradually approaches the stream again and crosses it at a higher level, so that, as at the beginning, you walk along the right side of the torrent. A beautifully laid-out path leads us along the edge of the forest for a short distance, then across a meadow to reach an asphalt road, which is reached some 10 paces above a small road pass.
Continue along the road we have reached (from the pass to the left the homesteads Rebršak and Luka, from the pass slightly to the right Savinek, from the pass to the right on the footpath continues Šaleška planinska trail) and then walk along the unmarked road leading to Sv. Križ. The way forward leads along a steep asphalt road or along a marked shortcut leading along a steep forest track. The path crosses the asphalt road several times and after about 30 minutes from the Homec pass we reach the top of St Križan, where there are a number of church buildings and a conversion tower.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2016 (April).
