Access to starting point:
From the valley Savinjska dolina or from Kamnik through mountain pass Črnivec, we drive to Gornji Grad, where on a settled parking lot by the main bus stop we also park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue by the main road towards the valley Savinjska dolina. After few 10 meters we come to a smaller crossroad, where signs for mountain hut Dom na Menini planini point us to the right on street Prod. Immediately after the first house we come at the marked crossing, where the path over Borovnica branches off to the right, and we continue straight in the direction of Menina planina past Semprimožnik. For some time we still continue on the road, and then we come to a bigger chapel, behind which we continue right on the forest road. The road quickly brings us to a smaller stream, after which it changes into a steep cart track. We continue the ascent on a marked cart track which higher turns to the left and a little further brings us to a marked crossing.
We continue right on the steep path, which past the plague column from the 17th century after approximately 20 minutes of additional walking brings us on an indistinct saddle, where from the right side the gentle path joins. On the saddle, we continue left and in few steps of additional walking, we get to the church of St. Florjan, from which a beautiful view opens up.
