Route description:
From the starting point, where the Tourist farm Zorin is also located, we take the path towards Ljubično and initially ascend along the macadam road. After a short ascent, the road levels out, followed by some traversing, after which we join a parallel asphalt road. On the asphalt road, we ascend for a few minutes and arrive at the Tourist farm Debelak, from where a beautiful view opens towards Ljubična gora and the surrounding hills.
Behind the homestead, the road transitions to a slope, where we pass a few more houses, then from a small crossroad, we veer slightly right and begin ascending again. Higher up, the asphalt road leads us past a small quarry and a cross, then alongside a meadow, we ascend to a marked junction east of Ljubična gora.
Here, we turn sharply left (right leads to Rančka and Zgornje Poljčane) and continue along the asphalt road, which, past two holiday cottages, brings us in a few minutes of further walking to the church of Our Lady of the Scapular, from where a beautiful view opens up.
From the church, we can continue left and quickly ascend to a forest-covered peak.
Lovnik - Debelak 0:15, Debelak - Ljubična gora 0:30.
