Vitanje - Viewpoint on Stenica

Access to the starting point:
From Vojnik, Mislinja or Slovenske Konjice, drive to Vitanje, where you can park in the parking lot in the centre of the village in the marked parking lot at Hudinja (the parish church of St Peter and St Paul is at the starting point). It is also possible to park elsewhere in the village.

Path description:
From the parking lot, walk to the bridge over Hudinja, where you turn left at the crossroads towards Slovenske Konjice and the path to Stenica. After the nearby chapel at the pedestrian crossing, cross the main road carefully and continue along the pavement towards Slovenske Konjice for a few more 10 steps, then the signs lead you slightly right onto a steeper narrower road, which quickly ascends to the nearby hill where the Church of the Assumption is located.
Before the church, turn left and follow the asphalt path back to the main road, where you continue along the pavement for a few steps before the signs for Stenica point you to the right. Just a little further on, cross the Hočno stream over a bridge, and a narrower asphalt path with a slight to moderate incline past a trough leads to a crossroads, where you go left towards Stenice. At the next crossroads go slightly right, then follow the asphalt road up to the left turn, where you leave the road and continue along the wider cart track towards Stenice.
After a few steps, leave the wide cart track and continue left into the forest, where you immediately start climbing steeply. A steep climb follows along the forested north-west ridge, and as the path flattens out you quickly reach a viewpoint at Stenica, where there is a registration box.
Starting point - Church of Our Lady of the Assumption 0:05, Church of Our Lady of the Assumption - viewpoint 0:35.
