Loke - Sveta planina (Partizanski vrh)

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Maribor, take the Vransko exit and continue driving on the parallel old road towards Celje. We drive a few kilometers on the main road, and then signs for Tabor and Ojstriška vas direct us to the right. Further, we drive through Ojstriška vas to the place Tabor, and from there we continue in the direction of the village Loke. In Loke we come to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of the cottage Zajčeva koča (straight Krvavica) on the road which soon brings us to the next crossroad. Here we continue right in the direction of "Zajčeva koča - peš pot" (straight Zajčeva koča on the road) on the road which crosses a bridge and then on the other side of the meadow brings us to a smaller parking lot by the road.
B) From the highway Maribor - Ljubljana, take the Šentrupert exit, and then continue driving on the parallel old road towards Trojane. We drive a few kilometers on the main road, and then signs for Tabor and Ojstriška vas direct us to the left. Further, we drive through Ojstriška vas to the place Tabor, and from there we continue in the direction of the village Loke. In Loke we come to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of the cottage Zajčeva koča (straight Krvavica) on the road which soon brings us to the next crossroad. Here we continue right in the direction of "Zajčeva koča - peš pot" (straight Zajčeva koča on the road) on the road which crosses a bridge and then on the other side of the meadow brings us to a smaller parking lot by the road.

Path description:
Near the parking lot, we leave the road and continue the ascent on a cart track which branches off to the left from the road. The cart track after a few meters of walking descends to a stream, crosses it and on the other side changes into a steep footpath which higher ascends parallel with another cart track. The path, which runs through the forest, brings us higher to a partly overgrown clearing, behind which it turns slightly to the right and brings us to a decaying house.
Here we continue on the right side of the house on a cart track which ascends diagonally (this part of the path is poorly marked) and a little higher makes a left turn. The moderately steep cart track then slowly turns right and brings us higher to grassy meadows above which we cross a poor forest road.
We continue on a poorly marked cart track which after some time starts descending and then joins a macadam road, which we follow to the right to the next crossroad. At the crossroad, which is located in the middle of a bend, we continue and the road after approximately 100 m of further walking brings us to the place where to the right downwards a poorer forest road branches off towards Zajčeva koča.
Here we continue straight in the direction of "Vrhe" and continue the ascent further on the road. A little higher the path brings us to a chapel, where we continue straight, but we continue the path on the road which further leads past the farm Krvavičnik. A little above the farm we arrive at the next crossroad, where we continue sharply left. The path ahead leads us across a panoramic grassy slope, then the road brings us to the next crossroad, where we step onto an asphalt road. We follow the road to the right, which gradually passes to the other side of the peak Kisovec. Further we ascend diagonally through the forest for a short time, then past a few houses and with a view of the nearby Javor we walk to Planinski dom Vrhe.
From the mountain hut we first walk to the nearby church of St. Lenart and a little further to the crossroad by the NOB monument. Here we continue on the right road in the direction of Sveta planina or Partizanski vrh. The road further on the western side crosses the slopes of the peak Javor and brings us to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Sveta planina. We continue through the forest for a while longer, then the road brings us to grassy slopes from which a beautiful view of the surroundings opens up. The road further leads past a few houses, then we arrive at a smaller saddle where the path from Podmeje joins us. Here we continue right and after a few steps of further walking we arrive at the inn on Sveta planina. From here we walk to the nearby little church, at which we turn left and then after a short ascent across the grassy slope reach the summit of Sveta planina.
