Access to starting point:
a) We arrive in Velenje and continue towards Slovenj Gradec and Dravograd. Before the entrance into the Huda luknja gorge, we will notice mountain trail markers next to the bus stop and a small parking lot where we park.
b) From the direction of Dravograd and Slovenj Gradec we follow the signs for Velenje, immediately after the Huda luknja gorge we will notice mountain trail markers next to the bus stop and a small parking lot where we park.
Route description:
From the parking lot we continue slightly uphill, initially walking along a cycle path, before the tunnel we go left downhill to the Huda luknja cave.
We continue right and return to the Velenje - Slovenj Gradec road, continuing north past a monument. A bit further we leave the road left onto a stepped path where we steeply climb the slope, higher up quickly reaching the base of the cliffs where there is increased risk of falling rocks especially after rain and in spring months, and on sections constructed steps assist the continuation.
Higher the path passes the Špehovka cave, after which the path levels out but not the slope.
A somewhat exposed traverse follows, after a short descent we arrive at the Pilanca cave.
From Pilanca we climb under the cliffs, after some zigzags the path levels but remains exposed. Soon we reach the trail's most difficult section, descending on slippery ground down an exposed slope protected by a net beside the path.
The path continues over a wooden footbridge, then gradually to a clearing where the path is somewhat overgrown, especially during lush vegetation. At the clearing the path turns west climbing constructed steps.
A short descent follows as we exit the forest continuing on a well-maintained road in a long uphill bend.
Here markers are quite sparse.
Further the path leads to a junction where we return to the forest for a short steep ascent, higher up exiting the forest again to the school in Završe village.
Past the school and NOB monument we reach the church of St. Vid, from which a fine view opens in all directions.
