Dolina Sopote (Zagrad) - Sveta Trojica (Čimerno)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Radeče, and then we follow the road by the stream Sopota upwards. Further, we drive through Njivice, Jagnjenica to the settlement Zagrad, where the described path begins at the hiking signposts. At the starting point, there aren't any parking spots.

Path description:
From the starting point, we head onto a side road with signs for Kum, Nebeška gora, and Čimerno, initially walking past individual houses. A little further, at a smaller crossroad, we turn slightly right, and then the road enters the forest, where we turn slightly right again. Further on, we ascend for quite some time along various poorer forest roads, following the blazes at crossroads or junctions. Higher up, the road forms a larger number of zig-zags, and from individual grassy areas, a beautiful view opens up of the surroundings and nearby hills. Eventually, the poorer road turns into a cart track that crosses onto steeper slopes, where we mostly ascend diagonally to the right. When the steepness eases, we leave the forest and reach the edge of a more plateau-like terrain, where the footpath disappears in a meadow. We continue through a small valley, reaching a small saddle in a few minutes, where a mountain signpost also stands. From here, a view opens up of the village Čimerno, which we reach via a cart track that leads us along a grazing fence. Upon reaching the settlement, we follow the blazes and signs for Kum and Nebeška gora at a few crossroads, quickly arriving at the church of the Holy Trinity, shortly after joining the path from Radeče.
