Dolina potoka Žep - Partisan hospital Mrzle vode

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Šentrupert and we follow the road ahead towards Logarska dolina. In the village Ljubno ob Savinji the signpost for Smrekovec points us right. The road then runs through the center of the village, where we turn left again following the signs for Smrekovec. The road then brings us to Ljubenske Rastke, where at the intersection near the church we continue left. We follow this road to the sharp right turn in the middle of which a macadam road branches off straight ahead, which we follow to a smaller parking lot at the end of it.

Route description:
From the parking lot at the old mill over a small bridge we cross the tributary of the stream Žep and then we ascend on a cart track which ascends along the stream Žep. After a few minutes of walking, we will notice a footpath which turns sharply right and for a short time steeply ascends. After a short ascent, the path brings us out of the forest onto a smaller clearing on which stands the log cabin Planinc.
We continue slightly left on a worse cart track, which starts gently ascending parallel with a torrent gully, which we notice right below. The cart track then eventually crosses the mentioned torrent and right after it brings us to a junction. We continue on the right cart track which at first crosses slopes towards the right, and then in numerous zigzags starts ascending steeper. Higher up we reach a forest road which we follow to the left, and it quickly brings us to a junction.
We continue left in the direction of the partisan hospital and the cottage on Travnik, on the further marked cart track which mostly only crosses the slopes. The cart track later changes into a macadam road which we follow only to the spot where it crosses a torrent stream.
Immediately after the stream we notice a steep marked cart track which ascends along the stream and then goes into the forest. We continue the ascent on the cart track which after a few additional minutes of walking through the forest brings us to the partisan hospital Mrzle vode.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Veliki Travnik (1 h 10 min)
