Slomšek's Pilgrimage Trail

I'm interested in Slomšek's Pilgrimage Trail.
Has anyone walked it? How is it marked, maintained, where do you walk (asphalt, ....), is there any special map, where could we sleep with a larger group of hikers?
In short I need as much information as possible so please respond!

3 years ago my friend and I planned to do this trail and looked for information. We contacted the Society of Friends of Slomšek's Path (Mr. Franc Zabukošek, tel. 03/57 43 664, fax 03/74 90 504) and they sent us the guide by Stanko Klinar "Slomšek's Path" published by Mohorjeva družba. They also sent us 4 control cards for 4 stages of the path with indicated walking hours and elevation profiles:
1. Bizeljsko – Olimje (8 hours)
2. Olimje – Kalobje (6 to 8 hours)
3. Kalobje – Rifnik – Slom (5 to 6 hours)
4. Slom – Ponikva – Nova Cerkev (6.5 to 7.5 hours)
If you walk the trail, please provide a report and info, especially regarding marking and accommodations on the path.
Best, Ljubica

Today visit to this path. Practically just one point. It's one of the more important. Olimje, where there's also a monastery. Slomšek was reportedly in Olimje several times. Conditions excellent. Autumnal, too warm for this time... Beautiful, wonderful surroundings, peace, tranquility...
