Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Maribor, we take the exit Šentrupert, and then we continue driving in the direction of Mozirje and Logarska Valley. At the settlement Parižlje, we leave the main road and continue driving left in the direction of Braslovče. When we arrive in Braslovče, more precisely in the center of the settlement near the church, at the crossroad we continue slightly left in the direction of Lake Braslovško jezero. Further, we drive on a somewhat narrower road, on which we quickly arrive at the parking lot by the aforementioned lake.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we first walk to the nearby inn Jezero, and then we continue on the marked path, which bypasses Lake Braslovško jezero on the right side. On the other side of the lake, we continue for a short time across the meadow, and then we arrive at the road, which we follow to the left. Soon we approach a residential house, in front of which we turn left, and immediately after crossing a smaller stream we continue right onto the cart track. The cart track first continues through the forest, then brings us to the meadows, where it begins to disappear. At the end of the meadow, we first continue a few steps to the left, then we notice the cart track, which turns sharply to the right. We continue along the mentioned cart track, which quickly ascends to the nearby macadam road, which we follow to the right. The path ahead slightly descends and joins another road. We continue in the same direction and gently ascend to the nearby farm. On the other side of the farm, the path first slightly ascends, then turns right onto the cart track, along which we further cross the slopes to the right. After a few minutes of crossing, we reach the asphalt road, which we soon leave as the blazes direct us onto the footpath that ascends through the forest. Higher up, we cross the road once again, then, when we step onto it again, we follow it to the place where the path from Letuš joins. Here we leave the road and continue the ascent along the ladder, which helps with the steep ascent, then continue the ascent through the forest. The path ahead leads us past a bench, after which we are soon back on the road. We follow the road to the left, walking along it only a few meters, then continue right onto the footpath, which soon crosses the road again. The path ahead leads us across a shorter, partly overgrown clearing, from which a view opens onto Bezovec. Higher up, we continue along the road for a few minutes, then ascend along the marked shortcut to Covnikov križ.
Here we continue right (straight to Bezovec 15 minutes) and at the smaller crossroad again right. We continue along the panoramic asphalt road, along which with a few minutes of gentle descent we arrive at Dom na Dobrovljah.
At the hut, we leave the asphalt road and continue along the macadam road in the direction of Čreta. The road quickly brings us to a smaller hamlet, where we continue right, then behind the houses continue along the cart track in the direction of Čreta. The well-marked cart track begins to descend across the initially still panoramic slope, then passes into a strip of forest, where it also crosses the macadam road. A gentle ascent follows to the nearby farm Kokovnik, then we walk to the nearby chapel. At the chapel, the path enters the forest, then after a short descent joins the asphalt road. Along the road, we moderately ascend for some time, then the path from Nazarije and Mozirje joins us. Here we continue straight and ascend along the road to the marked crossroad.
At the crossroad, we continue sharply left in the direction of the footpath to Čreta (straight Čreta access by car). We continue along the forest road, which along the edge of the meadow brings us to the next crossroad.
This time we continue right (left to sv. Janez and Pavel and Grmada) and past the farm Križnik we return to the main road, which we reach near the crossroad.
We continue along the right road (straight to Žovneško jezero), which we follow only some 10 steps, as the signs for Čreta then direct us left onto the marked cart track. The path ahead gently to moderately ascends for some time, then brings us to the next NOB monument, after which the path gradually begins to descend. After a short descent, we arrive at a smaller hamlet, which the marked path bypasses on the left side, then in a moderate ascent across the increasingly panoramic slope, we ascend to the church of the Holy Mother of God.
