Access to starting point:
We leave Štajerska highway at exit Žalec, and then we follow the signs for Žalec. Through Žalec we follow the signs for Griže and Migojnice, which we reach soon after the bridge over the Savinja river, and then we follow the signs for Zabukovica, where the described path begins near the Sipex d.o.o. company. We park on an appropriate place nearby.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road ahead, which quickly leads us to a small crossroad, where we proceed straight on the road, alongside which there are traffic signs indicating that driving is not allowed for vehicles heavier than four tons (to the right are signs for Gozdnik and the hostages' graveyard). Further on, we encounter a few more small crossroads, where we continue straight or follow the sparse blazes. Higher up, at the cross, we reach a small saddle and a partially marked junction, where we choose the right road, along which the sparse blazes continue (to the left is Bukovica).
The path ahead leads us along an asphalt road, where there are a few more parking options, and the road transitions into a forest through which we then mostly ascend moderately. At the road sign 6.0 km, we choose the upper left road and begin to ascend somewhat more steeply; higher up, we pass individual homesteads, and upon reaching the saddle at the farm Zgornji Beškovnik, we continue right from the marked crossroads in the direction of Gozdnik (left Kotečnik, straight Šmohor).
Next follows an ascent through a scenic meadow, then the path enters the forest, where it begins to ascend steeply in a diagonal climb towards the left. After a longer steep ascent, the path turns right and crosses a cart track, then moderately ascends a grassy slope to two holiday cottages, where we also cross a macadam road.
We bypass both holiday cottages on the left and follow the signs for Gozdnik; the path then moves to the eastern ridge of Gozdnik, where we ascend moderately to steeply through the forest. Higher up, a view briefly opens towards the north; the path gradually flattens and leads us to the summit of Gozdnik, where a cross is situated, and a few steps further, the bivouac Bivak Florjana Sona.
