Marija Reka (Strgar Quarry) - Dom pod Reško planino

Access to starting point:
We leave the Štajerska highway at the Šentrupert exit, then follow the signs for Prebold and further signs for Podmeja and Trbovlje. Further, we drive through the Reka valley, and the starting point is located approximately 2300 meters ahead from the sign marking the beginning of the Marija Reka settlement. It is recognizable by a small parking lot by the road, situated about 10 meters before the start of the path, where we notice red hiking signposts.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we first walk across the main road to the start of the footpath, a cart track, then ascend on the path toward Dom pod Reško planino, which leads into the forest (past the former quarry on the left side). Then the path a little ahead from the quarry turns to the left and steeply ascends upwards on a badly beaten but marked footpath which in wet is very slippery!. The still poor and overgrown path, a little higher, leads us to a signpost (Prebold straight ahead, and Golava and Mrzlica back), where we turn left onto a marked path over a small ridge. After the ridge, the path begins to steeply ascend again on a poorly trodden marked path, which brings us to a meadow. We continue across the meadow, where we reach a house and a hayrack, on which there is a stamp for Gradišče!
We continue along the macadam road to the chapel, where we join the usual path from Prebold. From the asphalt road, a footpath branches off upward, quickly turning into a cart track. This path, which is at first slightly descending, and then slightly ascending we follow all the way to the mountain hut Dom pod Reško planino.
