Path description:
From the center of Moravče we continue along the main road leading towards Izlake. Initially we walk on the sidewalk, shortly after the company Nissan Krulc, we go slightly right onto the road in the direction of the settlements Ribče and Dešen and the mountain hut Planinski dom Ušte - Žerenk. The path ahead starts to ascend on a somewhat narrower asphalt road, from which a nice view opens towards Limbarska gora when looking back, and with good visibility the views reach all the way to the highest peaks of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. Soon after Moravče ends, we arrive at the hamlet Podbrdo, where we leave the asphalt road and continue left in the direction of the mountain hut and sv. Miklavž.
Behind the houses, which we bypass on the left side, the path goes into the forest and starts to ascend somewhat more, quite quickly also splitting.
We choose the left path (right sv. Miklavž), which ascends transversely towards the left, higher widening into a newer cart track. For a few minutes we ascend on the mentioned cart track, then again on the mountain path, which higher crosses the macadam road, a further few dozen steps higher reaching the asphalt road, which we follow to the left. We walk along the road to a smaller saddle, where the blazes direct us left onto the path crossing a panoramic meadow, through which with nice views we walk to the nearby mountain hut.
From the mountain hut we continue straight in the direction of Zgornje Slivne and the peak Pivkelj, where through a strip of forest we reach an asphalt road. Further we walk past the ranch pri Oselet, where at a smaller crossroads we take the lower road, at the next crossroads choosing the upper right road, on which the signs for GEOSS also direct us. An ascent through the forest follows, the road quickly turning right and splitting. We choose the left macadam road (the right road leads to the nearby house), ascending it to the hamlet Štance Laze. In the mentioned hamlet the road flattens, along it walking to the marked junction, where the marked path turns right from the road.
At the mentioned junction we leave the marked path leading towards GEOSS and Pivkelj and continue walking further along the road, which gradually starts to descend. We follow the mentioned road in a moderate descent all the way to the church of sv. Florjan, from which a nice view opens.
From the church we continue the descent to the hamlet Zgornja Gora, where the road becomes asphalt. Behind the houses we leave the asphalt road and continue right on a narrower macadam road, which transversely enters the forest, along it continuing to Spodnja Slivna, where past the turn-off to the adventure park GEOSS we arrive at the marked junction at Gostilna Vrabec.
We continue in the direction of GEOSS, to which we walk in a few minutes along the asphalt road.
