Access to starting point:
We leave the Štajerska highway at the Dramlje exit, then follow the signs for Šentjur. From the center of Šentjur, we continue briefly towards the settlement of Šmarje pri Jelšah, but soon turn right onto the road towards Podsreda and Planina pri Sevnici. When Šentjur ends, we soon turn left from the main road in the direction of Podsreda, Kozje, and Gorica pri Slivnici. When we arrive at the settlement of Gorica pri Slivnici, we park in the parking lot by the bus stop, where we also notice hiking signposts.
Path description:
From the starting point, we head in the direction of signs for Gaj and Rifnik, where we first carefully cross the main road at the pedestrian crossing and continue right to a nearby crossroad, where blazes direct us left onto an ascending sidewalk, along which we arrive at the primary school Slivnica pri Celju in a few minutes. Here, the marked path turns right and continues along the asphalt road, on which we quickly arrive at the nearby church of St. Urban.
Behind the church, the road gradually passes onto the slopes of the hill Gaj, over which we diagonally ascend towards the left to a marked crossroad by some houses.
We continue right towards Gaj and also higher we go at two crossroads right in the direction towards Gaj. This steeper road we then follow to a viewpoint and bench by the inscription box for Gaj.
Starting point - Sveti Urban 0:05, Sveti Urban - Gaj 0:25.
