Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Maribor highway, take the Žalec exit and continue driving towards Arja vas. At the intersection at the end of the village, continue straight towards Liboje. Soon after the traffic sign for the end of the village Liboje, we will notice the quarry Kamnolom Liboje, VOC Ekologija. Approximately 900 meters further along the asphalt road, on the right side of the road along the Bistrica stream, there is a parking lot which represents our starting point of the trail.
Route description:
The starting point of the path is at the parking lot by the road and the stream Bistrica. A larger part of our path to Kotečnik leads along a good unmarked cart track, then along a narrower marked forest path and finally along the ridge of Kotečnik.
Head towards the summit of Kotečnik and first cross the stream Bistrica. Continue upwards along a good cart track, past the hunting observatory and a feeding site for winter feeding of wild animals, initially along the trickling stream lower on the left. Soon leave the stream and continue along the cart track right-left upwards, where views towards Malič, Kamčič and Veliki Slomnik begin to open up. When the steepness eases, continue along the contour line to the end of the cart track, where the path narrows into a forest trail. From here on, arrows with the letter F guide us along the steep path in zigzags all the way to the eastern ridge of Kamčič. When we arrive at the ridge, head west, continuing along the eastern ridge towards the summit of Kotečnik. First arrive at a beautiful vantage point, where views open up practically in all directions to the surrounding hills, the closest among them being Tovsti vrh, Malič, Šmohor, Brnica, Veliki Slomnik, Kamčič etc. To the summit, another 5 minutes of walking remain, where a logbook with a stamp awaits us. If continuing downhill along the ridge in the same western direction, this time along a marked path, we arrive at another logbook on the lower summit.
Along the route: Kamčič (525m)
