Sveti Trije kralji - Dom na Osankarici (via Črno jezero)

Access to the starting point:
Drive into the centre of Slovenska Bistrica, where you turn off at the traffic lights in the direction of the health centre and continue along Partizanska cesta. Then drive through the town, continuing straight on, on the outskirts of the town, and at the industrial zone turn onto the road towards Tinje, Sveti Trem kralji and Black Lake. The asphalt road is slightly narrower and starts to climb, initially leading past the Hunting Hut of the pizzeria Gams, then higher up through the village of Visole, and a few kilometres higher up we arrive at Zgornje Tinje, from where we follow the signs for the ski resort of Jakec - Trije kralji (Three Kingdoms). Park in the parking lot at the foot of the ski slope, or near the Church of St. Three Kings.

Path description:
From the starting point, walk to the Church of St. Three Kings and continue in the direction of the Black Lake and Urška's path, quickly arriving at the nearby ski slope, which you continue along for a short time and then cross (during the ski slope's operation, the ski slope and the ski lift are crossed higher up - above the ski lift and the ski slope). The way forward takes us past the ARSO weather station, and we continue to follow the markings, following the connecting ski slope towards, and within a few minutes we reach another ski slope, which we also cross (up Veliki vrh, next to the ski slope). Then we cross the ski lift and another ski slope, and then the trail comes to the forest, where after a few minutes of further walking we reach a cross, next to which stands the Urška's Way teaching board. The way forward descends slowly and leads us to a marked crossroads, where we choose the left path (straight Šumik and Ruška koča), where we continue in the direction of Osankarice and Črnega jezera. Continue to descend gently to moderately and follow the markings. When the descent ends, you will reach a crossroads near Černý jezero.
Continue straight on (left Oplotnica - the path past Kos) and in a few steps you will reach the lake.
Follow the path in the direction of Osankarica, bypassing the lake on the right, and after crossing a small stream, the path enters the forest and continues along a wood-paved path. The path initially continues without major changes in elevation, but after a while it begins to visibly descend. Follow the paved path, which is a slip hazard in wet conditions, all the way to the parking lot near Dom na Osankarici. From the parking lot, cross the road and climb up to Dom na Osankarici, which burnt down in 2021.
St. Three Kings - Black Lake 0:50, Black Lake - Osankarica 0:15.
