Galicija - Planinski dom Šentjungert

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Žalec (Arja vas), and then we continue driving towards Velenje. On the main road towards Velenje we drive to the settlement Velika Pirešica, where we turn right on the road in the direction of village Pernovo and Galicija. The road which continues towards the west a little further for some time ascends, and then descends into a valley of the stream Podsevčnica. Here the road starts turning more and more to the left, and we follow it to a smaller crossroad, by which we notice signposts for mountain hut Dom na Šentjungertu. At the starting point, there aren't any parking spots, so we have to park a little earlier on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the crossroad, by which we notice a mountain signpost for mountain hut Dom na Šentjungertu, we continue on narrower right road in already mentioned direction. The road is at first ascending gently through meadows, and then becomes a little steeper and leads us past few houses. At the smaller crossroad behind the chapel we continue left and then we follow the road almost to its end. A little before the end of the road, we continue straight in the forest (on spot, where we leave the road, the road turns to the right, and then ends at the nearby residential house) on a marked footpath which ascends through the forest. We continue on a forest path, which occasionally relatively steeply ascends. After approximately 30 minutes of walking from the starting point, we leave the forest path, because we step on an asphalt road which we follow to the left. Further, we are ascending on a moderately steep road, on which in good 10 minutes of additional walking, we get to the mountain hut Dom na Šentjungertu and few meters higher also to the church of St. Kunigunda.
