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 a bit more steeply; higher up, we pass by individual homesteads, and upon reaching the saddle at the farm Zgornji Beškovnik, we continue left from the marked crossroad in the direction of Kotečnik (straight to Šmohor, right to Gozdnik).
The path ahead takes us past a house, and behind the house, it continues for some time on a cart track, which later turns into a moderately ascending footpath. The path, which continues along and beside the western ridge of Kotečnik, soon brings us to the western secondary peak of Kotečnik, where the first inscription box is located and from where a beautiful view opens up.
A gentle descent follows, and then we gradually begin to ascend, passing through some indistinct secondary peaks and mostly through the forest, until we reach the second inscription box, located on the main, forest-covered summit.
