Loke - Zajčeva koča (via Krvavica)

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana - Maribor highway, take the Vransko exit and continue driving on the parallel old road towards Celje. We drive a few kilometers on the main road, then signs for Tabor and Ojstriška vas direct us to the right. Further, we drive through Ojstriška vas to the settlement Tabor, and from there we continue in the direction of the village Loke. In Loke we come to a crossroad, where we continue straight (left - Zajčeva koča) and follow the road to the next crossroad, which is situated after the village Loke. Here we continue straight (slightly left) in the direction of "Presedle" and follow the road to the parking lot on the right side of the road, by which we notice signposts for Krvavica.
B) From the Maribor - Ljubljana highway, take the Šentrupert exit, then continue driving on the parallel old road towards Trojane. We drive a few kilometers on the main road, then signs for Tabor and Ojstriška vas direct us to the left. Further, we drive through Ojstriška vas to the settlement Tabor, and from there we continue in the direction of the village Loke. In Loke we come to a crossroad, where we continue straight (left - Zajčeva koča) and follow the road to the next crossroad, which is situated after the village Loke. Here we continue straight (slightly left) in the direction of "Presedle" and follow the road to the parking lot on the right side of the road, by which we notice signposts for Krvavica.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we cross the road and go on a marked path in the direction of Krvavica. The path already at the very beginning goes into the forest and starts relatively steeply ascending. Higher, the steepness decreases a little and the path at the notification sign (walk on the path because of the nesting of rare bird species) turns sharply left. The path further again starts ascending steeply and after a few minutes of additional walking brings us to an indistinct side ridge, where it turns to the right. We continue ascending through the forest on the path which higher brings us to a very steep slope. The steepness for a short time decreases, because the path leads us on an exposed and often muddy ledge. Next follows a steep ascent on a grassy slope, which is overgrown by a sparse forest. On the top of this steep part, which in wet is dangerous for slipping, the path brings us to a natural window, through which runs a secured mountain path. With the help of staples and a steel cable, we ascend to the top of the window, after which follows some ten steps of walking on a steep grassy slope. The steepness then decreases and the path, which still runs through the forest, soon brings us to the summit of Krvavica.
From the top of Krvavica, we start steeply descending on a slightly exposed slope, and then the path brings us below the cliffs, from which a beautiful view opens up. After that, the path passes into the forest and descends to the nearby forest road, which we follow to the left (straight - Čemšeniška planina, right - Loke - on the road and Presedlje pass). On the road, we descend to the first left turn, and from there we continue slightly right on a marked footpath which with some shorter ascents and descents continues through the forest. After a few minutes, we join the cart track, on which we then quickly descend to the Zajčeva koča.
