Zavrate - Baba

Access to the starting point:
First we drive to Laško, then we continue driving towards the villages of Spodnja and Zgornja Rečica and Hude jame. In the village Zgornja Rečica you will come to an unmarked crossroads, where you will continue along the road on the left, and then follow it to the Zavrate pass, which you will recognise from the numerous hiking signs and the log cabin next to which is the entrance to the Barbara rov mine (it is one of the entrances to the mine).
The starting point can also be reached from Zasavje by driving from Hrastnik towards Rimske Toplice and Laško. When the road leading from Hrastnik to Laško starts to descend, you will see signs for the village Sedraž, which will direct you to the left. After about 100m of further driving, we reach a crossroads where we continue straight on towards the village Brezno (left Brdce, right Sedraž). The ascending road soon leads us to Brezno, where we come to an unmarked crossroads. Continue left and follow the road to the Zavrate pass, where you park.

Path description:
From the Zavrate pass, follow the footpath towards Baba and the Ostrež summit. The path initially leads us past the log cabin "pri knapu pod Baba", and then continues along the initially folded cart track. After a few minutes of easy walking, we see a direction sign pointing to the left on a well-trodden footpath, which starts to climb steeply. Higher up, the path becomes so steep that the fixed safety gear, which are not strictly necessary in dry conditions (in wet conditions, there is a high risk of slipping), are helpful. Follow this very steep and well-surfaced path to the top of Baba.

We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Ostri vrh ( 40 min)
