Kramarica - Smrekovec (via Bukov stan)

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Maribor, we take the exit Šentrupert, then continue driving in the direction of Mozirje and Logarska dolina. Immediately behind the village Ljubija and just before the start of Mozirje, at the roundabout we turn right in the direction of Bele Vode. Further on, we drive through Ljubija again, and at first we still follow the asphalted road along the valley of the river Ljubija and higher along the stream Štajerska Kramarica. At the homestead Rebršak, an asphalted road from Bele Vode joins from the right, and we continue straight ahead. Further, we follow the macadam road ever more steeply uphill, then at the first junction we continue left (right homestead Prevnik), at the second right (left homestead Zgornji Brložnik) and at the third left (right connecting road to Andrejev dom na Slemenu). When the road brings us to the junction of three roads and mountain signposts, we are at the pass Kramarica, where we park.
B) From Koroška, we first drive to Črna na Koroškem, from there continue driving towards Topla and Koprivna. In the settlement Pristava we turn left and further drive along the valley of the river Bistra. At the next junction at 731 m altitude, we turn left towards the homesteads Vrtačnik and Pudgarsko. At the homestead Pudgarsko we continue straight and drive along the macadam road to the pass Kramarica, where we park.

Path description:
From the saddle Kramarica we continue on the macadam road in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Smrekovcu. Already after a few 10 m of walking, we will arrive at a marked junction, where we have two options for continuing.
We continue on the right path in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Smrekovcu over Bukov stan (straight to Dom na Smrekovcu on the road). From the junction onwards, the path starts to ascend steeply over an increasingly steep slope. During the ascent we first cross a steep cart track, and when we arrive at the second cart track, we follow it to the left. Here the path flattens, and we follow the cart track, which crosses the slopes towards the left, for only a few minutes, then continue on the initially parallel marked mountain path, which branches off slightly to the left from the cart track. This is followed by crossing forested slopes, meanwhile the path turns increasingly to the right. A little higher we arrive at a panoramic grassy meadow, behind which the path returns to the forest and a little further joins the macadam road, along which we quickly walk to the nearby mountain hut Dom na Smrekovcu.
From the mountain hut Dom na Smrekovcu, we continue slightly right in the direction of Komen and Smrekovec. The path ahead first ascends moderately over a panoramic grassy slope, then turns slightly to the left, bringing us into a belt of forest. When the forest thins out, we turn slightly right and the path brings us to a marked junction, where we continue right in the direction of Smrekovec (left to Komen and Raduha). Further on we ascend for a short time through increasingly sparse forest, then arrive at expansive grassy slopes, over which with ever better views we ascend to the nearby Smrekovec, which we reach after approximately 10 to 15 minutes of further walking.

On the way: Dom na Smrekovcu mountain hut (1375m)
