Access to starting point:
In Celje we look for street Ljubljanska ulica, where at the crossroad at School for Horticulture and Visual Arts Celje we turn towards the industrial zone towards the south in the direction of Savinja (where there are companies Kameno, Sint, Mizar, Skladišče Lesnina etc.). We park by river Savinja on a parking lot opposite the large silos of construction company, 500 meters to the east from the hanging bridge over Savinja.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue along the left bank of Savinja towards 500 meters distant light blue hanging bridge towards the west. On the support column of the bridge we notice a blaze and arrow "Planinski dom Brnica". We cross river Savinja and we step on an asphalt road. The path is entirely marked. At the first asphalt crossroad we go straight, and then immediately after approx 10 meters we turn left on a meadow path, if we would go straight on the asphalt uphill, we would go on northeastern path, but this time we choose the path on the ridge. When we pass into the forest, we step on a macadam road which is coming from the right. We still follow the blazes for Brnica, we cross the stream Brniški potok, until we notice, that blazes for Brnica point us to the right from the road towards a small stream. We again cross the stream and then we follow the signs and blazes on a forest path on the ridge. Forest path is well marked. When we step out of the forest, the path widens, and then we continue at first on the macadam road, and then also on the asphalt among homesteads. Towards the end of the path, at first joins the other path from Celje (hanging bridge), and then also from Kasaze (Petrovč). And few steps ahead at the chapel also the road from Kasaze (Liboj) joins. We turn left upwards and after approx 200 meters we get to our destination.
