Kokarje (ŠRC Laze) - Dom planincev Farbanca

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Mozirje (to here from Šoštanj or highway Ljubljana - Maribor (exit Šentrupert)), from where, from the main roundabout, we continue driving towards Gornji Grad and Logarska dolina. A few kilometers ahead, after the Petrol gas station, we turn left in the direction of Nazarje. Further, we drive through Nazarje, where we follow the signs for settlements Dobletina and Šmartno ob Dreti. Soon after Dobletina and still before Lačja vas, we turn left in the direction of Kokarje. Further, we cross the bridge over the river Dreta, and then we quickly arrive in Kokarje, where at the marked crossroad we continue slightly right in the direction of sports field Laze, to which we arrive after a few hundred meters of additional driving. We park on the parking lot by ŠRC Laze.
B) We drive to the settlement Šmartno ob Dreti (to here from Gornji Grad, Ljubno ob Savinji or Vransko over the mountain pass Lipa), and then we continue driving towards Nazarje. After Lačja vas we turn right in the direction of Kokarje. Further, we cross the bridge over the river Dreta, and then we quickly arrive in Kokarje, where at the marked crossroad we continue slightly right in the direction of sports field Laze, to which we arrive after a few hundred meters of additional driving. We park on the parking lot by ŠRC Laze.

Path description:
Near the starting point, there is a marked crossing, from where we go on the lower road in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Farbanci (slightly left Čreta over Tajna). The path at first leads by the sports field, where at the unmarked crossroad we continue straight or slightly left. On the other side of ŠRC Laze the road changes into a cart track, and it passes into the forest. We follow the wide cart track at some crossings in the direction of blazes, and then at the spot where the cart track turns right and crosses a torrent, we continue left on a steep footpath. The footpath quickly flattens, and then at the crossings we again follow the blazes. A little further the ascent ends and a descent follows to the nearby asphalt road, which we follow to the right, past two houses quickly arriving at the mountain signposts, where we continue left over a small wooden bridge, on a footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Farbanci. Next follows an ascent through the forest, where we first ascend on a cart track, higher on a well-maintained footpath which leads us past the spring Lahki studenec. Above the spring we cross another cart track, and then the relatively steep path flattens a little and passes into an indistinct small valley. From the small valley we soon turn a little to the right, and then first join a cart track, a few steps higher also the macadam road, along which we quickly reach the mountain hut Dom planincev na Farbanci.
