Radegunda (Žekovec) - Mozirska koča na Golteh (via Zagradiška puša)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Mozirje, where from the roundabout we take the exit in the direction of Golte. Next follows a short ascent, and in front of the inn Vid the road splits. To the right continues the road towards the plateau Golte, but we go left in the direction of the cableway to Golte. We continue to follow the signs for the ski slope, and we park in the hamlet Žekovec at the designated parking lot by the lower station of the cable car to Golte.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto a footpath towards Mozirska koča through Zagradiška puša and begin ascending an asphalt road, which quickly turns into a macadam road. Next follows a diagonal ascent, initially through a scenic area, then the road enters a forest through which we ascend for a few minutes, before turning right onto a footpath towards Mozirska koča. Next is an ascent through the forest, where we follow blazes at several crossroads; higher up, we briefly walk on a cart track, which, after a short traverse to the right, leads us to a macadam road that we follow upwards. A little further, we leave the forest and at a left turn, near a nearby farm, a marked path from the inn Vid or the path past Žnider joins from the right.
Next follows some walking on an asphalt road, and after a strip of forest, a view opens towards the church of St. Radegunda. The path ahead leads us past a small spring and a chapel, then we turn left onto a footpath, crossing a grazing fence, and initially continue ascending through the forest. Higher up, at the crossing of a rougher macadam road, we pass another chapel, then return to an asphalt road, which we leave at the end of a right turn and continue left onto a footpath that ascends diagonally across a meadow. Next is a short ascent through the forest, and just before reaching an asphalt road, a path branches off to the left towards Sveta Radegunda, but we continue walking on the asphalt road, following it to the left. On the asphalt road, we walk to the farm Keber, where we turn right towards Mozirska koča. The path ahead leads us past several buildings, then through a meadow we return to the road, which we only cross. In the forest, the path splits into a steep left path and a gentler right path.
The steep path ascends sharply through the forest for some time and leads us past a spring; on a meadow or pasture, the gentler path, which has meanwhile joined the path from Mozirje leading over Šmihel nad Mozirjem, merges from the right.
Across the pasture, we follow the blazes; from the upper part of the pasture, where the Planica airfield is located, a beautiful view opens towards the Posavsko hribovje.
Next, a few more steps through a strip of forest lead us to an asphalt road heading towards Golte, which we follow for a few minutes. Before Planinska ravna, where a parking lot used to be, signposts direct us right onto a steep path that ascends parallel to the road for a few minutes before gradually diverging from it. Higher up, the path splits again into a steep left path and a gentler right path, and after a few minutes, the paths merge once more. When we leave the forest higher up, we already see the mountain cottage Mozirska koča ahead, with only a short ascent remaining to reach it.
