Path description:
From the church of St. Andrej, we continue on the asphalt road ahead, and after few minutes of relatively panoramic walking it brings us to snack bar Savinek and few steps ahead to a marked crossing.
From the crossing, we continue straight (right Smrekovec and Andrejev dom na Slemenu) in the direction of Sveti Križ and Smrekovec and we continue on the asphalt road which further descends a little. When the road stops descending, we quickly reach the marked crossing on the mountain pass Homec, where we continue left, on the road in the direction of Sveti Križ (straight Smrekovec).
On the mountain pass from the left joins also Šalek mountain trail, which from the road already after few steps branches off to the right. The path ahead leads us on a steep asphalt road or on a marked shortcut, which leads on a steep forest footpath. Further, the footpath few times crosses an asphalt road, and after approximately 30 minutes from the mountain pass Homec we reach the top of Sveti Križ, where there are a large number of ecclesiastical buildings and a transmitter.
