Ljubenske Rastke - Komen

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Maribor, take the exit Šentrupert and follow the road ahead towards Logarska dolina. In the village Ljubno ob Savinji, the signpost for Smrekovec directs us right. The road then takes us through the center of the village, where we turn left again following the signs for Smrekovec. The road then brings us to Ljubenske Rastke, where we park on the parking lot near the church.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the left road in the direction of Travnik and Komen (straight to the mountain hut Dom na Smrekovcu). After a few steps of walking, we will notice on the right side by the business building a pole of the power line and on it a mountain signpost, which directs us left onto a footpath that ascends over a short grassy slope. The path then goes quickly into the forest, where it continues in a diagonal ascent. Already after a few minutes of walking, a wide cart track joins us from the left side, on which we continue the ascent. Only a little further, the mentioned cart track turns sharply right, and we continue straight (this part of the path is poorly marked). The partly rocky cart track on which we are ascending then makes a slight left turn and after that brings us out of the forest, where we will notice a decaying chapel on the right side.
Behind the chapel the footpath disappears, and we continue across the meadow to the cart track, which we follow to the right to a smaller abandoned hamlet. At the hamlet the cart track turns left and only a few steps further the blazes direct us right onto a footpath, which starts to ascend more steeply through the forest. Higher the path passes out of the forest onto grassy slopes over which we ascend to an asphalt road (possible access also by road).
Further, we ascend gently on the asphalt road, which at the crossroads we follow in the direction of Komen. Higher the road brings us to a crossroads by which we notice signs for Komen, which direct us onto a road closed to traffic. We follow this road only a short time, as we will soon notice a faded directional signpost, which directs us right into the forest. After a few steps of ascent through the forest, the path brings us to the NOB monument.
We continue the ascent in the direction of the hospital along the path, which soon brings us to a marked junction. We continue slightly right in the direction of Komen (slightly left hospital Celje and Travnik) along the path, which higher brings us to a forest road, which we follow to the left, but only a short time, as then the blazes direct us right onto a footpath. The moderately steep path, which runs through the forest, then brings us to a smaller cross, where an unmarked path from the valley of the stream Žep joins us from the left. We continue on the path, which ascends diagonally through the forest, and when it comes out of the forest it turns sharply left, where it bypasses the peak Bezovec on which there is a hunting observatory.
Further, we carefully follow the blazes as the path leads us over numerous junctions of forest roads and cart tracks. The not too steep path then brings us to Telečje peči, where a smaller wooden cottage stands. Here the path turns right and starts to ascend more steeply. Higher the path joins a cart track, which we then follow to the upper slope of Komen. Higher the path passes out of the forest onto increasingly panoramic grassy slopes over which we ascend to a smaller wooden chapel (dedicated to Saints Cyril and Methodius), where there is also a junction. We continue straight upwards in the direction of Komen (left Travnik, right Smrekovec) along the path, which after 10 minutes of further walking brings us to the panoramic peak.
