Access to the starting point:
a) Leave the motorway at exit Slovenske Konjice and turn left towards Žiče. In Žiče, turn left at the junction, direction Loče. At the roundabout in Loče, turn in the route Poljčane - Zbelovo. Go through Zbelovo, and at the end of the town you will see an underpass under the railway line. Go through the underpass and immediately turn right, past the bus stop, over an old wooden bridge and park in a small parking lot on the left.
b) Leave the motorway at the exit Slovenska Bistrica-Jug and follow the signs towards Poljčany. Go through Poljčane, and at the end of the town the signs point to the right, in the direction of Loče - Zbelovo. Follow the main road until you reach an underpass under the railway. Do not turn right through the underpass, but left in front of the bus stop on an old wooden bridge, and then park in a small parking lot on the left.

Path description:
Once parked, follow the road as it continues past the parking lot, paralleling the railway the whole way. At Zbelovska Gora, you reach the first crossroads, where you turn left and follow the asphalt road until you see a staircase on the left side of the road, climbing steeply into the forest. Here you will also be greeted by the signs for the Mary's Footsteps trail. Follow the quite steep and very pretty path straight up the hill. Follow the signs and soon you will arrive at the cross at the footsteps of Mary, which is a point on the Loško-Zbelovská hiking trail and an "unofficial peak" (peak Ljubična gora is a little further along the trail by the telecommunications tower and is not marked).
There are also benches and a registration book next to the cross. The summit is not overlooked, but you can extend the route for five minutes and walk up to the Church of St Mary on Ljubična gora, which offers beautiful views of Pohorje and the Ptuj field.
