Access to the starting point:
First, go to Mozirje, where you will go in the route "Golte" at the roundabout. After a 4 km drive, you will arrive in the village of Žekovec at the bottom station of the Golte cable car and park there.
Path description:
The route starts where the one-way road at the bus stop turns left downhill. Go left along the road over the Zagradiška Pusa. Soon the path turns right off the road over Zagradiška puša and after about 10 minutes joins the path past the weekend houses. The trail then leads along the road past the Kugler farm to a cross on the right hand side of the road. At the cross the path turns left up into the forest. Just below the cross there is a well with drinking water. A little higher up, cross the road twice more, go past another cross and come out on the road again. Here, go left across the meadow into the wods. A little higher, at the sign for Sv. Radegunda, you will come to an asphalted road and continue left along it. Soon you will reach the farmer Kebru, where you turn right between the buildings and go straight up the meadow, crossing the road again. When you come to a thin forest above, there is drinking water on the right. A little higher up, go right in the pasture and, when the path joins the path past the NOB monument, continue left past the cattle stall onto the road to Golte, which takes you almost to Planinska planina. When you see a short ravine on the right with traces of an avalanche, turn right into the forest. As soon as the path from Planinska ravna joins us a little higher up on the left, take a sharp right at a thick spruce tree onto the hunting trail across Požganija. The path leads us right across the aforementioned ravine. Higher up, the path joins from the right. Continue left over a short scree slope to a pleasant viewpoint with a bench. At the bench, go straight up and you will soon reach Vrbučeva mountain pasture. After crossing the fence, continue up the pasture valley past the hunting lodge. Turn right here. The markings then lead you up through the pasture to the hunting lodge. Go left alongside it and continue left or right to the log cabin, which you can see straight ahead at the end of the pasture. This part of the path is on the flat. Before the log cabin, turn left up the forest road. When this road leads to a small clearing, turn right along the path. Soon you will come to a crossroads, and from there it is only a few minutes to the top.
There is a lookout tower at the top which gives us a nice view. You can return to the valley by following the route of approach or by following the Severjeva trail, which turns right into the forest just below the clearing, to the Mozirska hut. There, you can decide whether to walk down or take the gondola down to the valley. Do not pass the viewpoint on this trail. In the summer season, you can see the alpinetum at Mozirska koča.
