Access to starting point:
A) From the direction of Maribor or Celje, we can drive on the highway to the exit Šempeter. We turn right in the direction of Polzela. We drive through Ločica ob Savinji and Breg pri Polzeli. At the end of Breg pri Polzeli at the roundabout, we choose the second exit. We arrive in Polzela. We drive through the settlement to a larger crossroad at the fire station Polzela, where we continue on the priority road towards Velenje and Andraž nad Polzelo. On the left, we notice a nice mansion and the retirement home Šenek. We arrive in Založe, and after a few minutes, we reach the crossroad for Andraž nad Polzelo. We turn left and drive straight, and at the smaller crossroad, we turn right uphill in the direction of the church of St. Andrew. We drive to the cemetery and park nearby on the parking spot.
B) From the direction of Ljubljana, we drive on the highway to the exit Šentrupert. At the exit, we turn left in the direction of Mozirje. After approximately 3 km at a larger crossroad, we turn right in the direction of Polzela. We drive through the settlement Parižlje. After 1 km, we cross the bridge over the Savinja and the railway track. We continue on the priority road to the fire station Polzela. From there onwards, we follow the path described under option A.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go ahead on the road past the chapel and the monument to NOB victims. From here onwards, we go on the road past the primary school Andraž nad Polzelo. We soon arrive at the day bar Gričar, where there is a stamp book and a stamp. We continue forward in the direction of the farm Blagotinšek. On the path, we will meet several signs for Andraška pot, but they are all marked to which destination they lead. We stick to the sign for the farm Blagotinšek. On the left, we soon notice a planted linden tree on the hill with a nice vantage point. Here, Gora Oljka is nicely visible. After about 15 minutes from Gričar, we arrive at Blagotinšek, where there is a stamp box, stamp and sign for Brunški vrh. From here onwards, we have approximately 45 minutes of walking. Further from Blagotinšek, we will notice a sign for Andraška pot, which turns left downhill past the farm building. We follow it. At a certain house, we turn left downhill again onto a meadow path. We go past the hayrack and right downhill into the forest. We arrive at a macadam road along which a stream flows. After a few minutes, we arrive at the sign for Andraška pot. We turn left and then soon right uphill. We walk on the path and cross a spring. We follow the blazes, which are clearly visible. We soon emerge from the forest onto the pasture. We cross the electric fence and go along the path across the meadow. Soon we notice a blaze on a birch. It leads us to the farm building and then to the road. Along it, we go past houses to the hill, where on the left we notice signs for Andraška pot and the stamp of Brunški vrh. We follow the sign for the stamp. After a few meters of walking, the sign for the stamp directs us onto a forest path to the top of the hill. There, steps have been made, and the path is well marked. In the middle of the hill, we notice signs for Andraška pot again, as some come from the farm Praprotnik, others from Blagotinšek. This part of the path is now the same for both directions because the other path towards Blagotinšek is closed. We go along the path where the stamp is. When we reach the top, we stamp it and sign the stamp box.
