Katarija - Dom Ušte - Žerenk

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Celje, we take the exit Krtina and Moravče. We follow the road ahead towards Moravče, where we turn right towards the village Ribče. The road towards Ribče first ascends and then descends. When it starts ascending again, it brings us into the forest, where after a time a macadam road branches off to the right. We park on the parking lot by the road near the crossroads. The parking lot is located on the Moravče side.
From Litija we drive towards Ljubljana but only to the village Ribče. Here we turn right and follow the road ahead towards Moravče. The road then runs over a 580m saddle (to it we return on foot) after which the road starts descending. After a short descent, we come to a crossroads, where we park on the parking lot by the road.

Route description:
From the parking lot on the Moravče side of the road, we continue on the asphalt road upwards to the village Katarija, which we reach after a good five minutes of walking. Here we come to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Slivna (right Miklavž, straight Ribče). The road soon behind the village becomes macadam. We follow the road, which is mostly slightly ascending, to a larger meadow over which a power line runs. Right at the spot where the road crosses the power line, we leave it and go left on a footpath that gently ascends through the meadow. The path through the meadow with nice views brings us to the mountain hut in two minutes.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: GEOSS (2 h), Sveti Florjan (Zgornja Gora), Dom na Slivni (1 h 40 min), Slivna (Pivkelj) (1 h 20 min)
