Lipa - Zavetišče na Biba planini

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Celje, we take the exit Vransko. We continue driving on the old road in the direction of Ljubljana, but only to the spot where the road towards Vransko branches off to the right. On the west side of Vransko, we will notice a road which goes towards the villages Prapreče and Vologa. We follow the road that starts ascending more steeply through the village Vologa to the saddle Lipa, where we park on one of the parking lots.
Access from the Zadrečka valley is also possible.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the macadam road in the direction of Smolnik and Menina planina. The moderately steep road, which runs through the forest the whole time, brings us after good 10 minutes of walking to a marked intersection, where we continue left. The road ahead slightly flattens, then continues crossing the slopes of Smolnik. After some time, we will notice signs for Smolnik by the road (sharply right), but we continue on the macadam road, which gradually starts gently descending. A little further ahead, the marked path cuts across a longer bend, then returns to the road, where it starts descending more steeply. A smaller ascent follows, then the road descends to the isolated farm Jeseničnik, where the path from the village Vologa joins from the left.
We continue across the yard, then at the farm building continue right onto the cart track. The cart track then ascends diagonally to the left, crossing a panoramic grassy hayfield from which a nice view opens onto Posavsko hribovje. When the path enters the forest, it turns sharply right, then ascends somewhat more steeply to a poor forest road. A little further, from the mentioned road, a wide cart track branches off slightly to the left, which after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the extensive grassy slopes named Slopi.
Here on the right side we notice an isolated house, but we continue in the same direction and walk across the poorly visible cart track to the middle of the grassy slope. Here we encounter a somewhat wider cart track, which we follow to the right and in a gentle descent descend along it to a smaller hamlet. Here we cross the pasture fence and step onto the road, which we follow towards the west. The road then bypasses the hamlet on the right side and after a few steps of further walking brings us to an intersection where a small cross stands. At the cross, we continue straight ahead (direction Biba), but on the left road, which slowly starts to ascend. After a short gentle ascent, the road brings us into the forest, where the blazes direct us right onto a steep footpath. The mentioned footpath soon crosses a wide cart track, then continues along a quite overgrown and already abandoned cart track. Higher up, we join a wider cart track, which we then follow all the way to the exit from the forest (since the cart track has some junctions, carefully follow the blazes). When we step out of the forest, the path turns right and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the macadam road that leads to Menina planina. We continue the ascent along the mentioned road, which at first offers nice views of the surrounding hills. The relatively gentle road then leads us past Limovska planina, which we follow to the spot where the blazes direct us right, across the pasture fence onto the footpath. The footpath immediately turns left and along the edge of the forest quickly brings us to the hut on Biba planina.
