Podbreg - Icmanikova planina

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Luče, then continue driving towards Logarska dolina. After Solčava and 300 meters before the landscape park Logarska dolina, we will notice signs for the parking lot, which direct us left to the larger parking lot Podbreg, where we park. Turn-off from the main road is near the road sign 13.5 km.
B) From Črna na Koroškem over mountain pass Spodnje Sleme we drive to Solčava, from there we continue right in the direction of Logarska dolina. After Solčava and 300 meters before the landscape park Logarska dolina, we will notice signs for the parking lot, which direct us left to the larger parking lot Podbreg, where we park. Turn-off from the main road is near the road sign 13.5 km.
C) Over mountain pass Pavličev Vrh we drive to Slovenia, then continue driving towards Logarska dolina. When we get to the crossroad where the road branches off to the right into the landscape park Logarska dolina, we continue straight, then after 300 meters right onto the larger parking lot for motorhomes, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the main road towards Logarska dolina, then a few meters after we cross the stream Jezera over the bridge we continue left on a macadam road. The macadam road quickly brings us to a second bridge, where after the stream Črna (stream Črna is the second source of Savinja) we continue right, at first still on a macadam road which quickly changes into a wide cart track. The path ahead leads us on a steep cart track which at the junctions we follow in the direction where the "main" cart track continues. Higher, at the junction at an altitude of approximately 1200 meters we continue on the right cart track which then crosses slopes between Icmanikova and Logarska peč towards the right. The cart track soon ends, and from the end of the cart track we continue on a worse footpath or track which still in the same direction crosses the slopes. After less than 5 minutes of a diagonal ascent we reach another cart track (to here also possible on the mentioned cart track), which in the last part steeply ascends on some sort of a ridge, and we reach it near its end. From the end of the cart track (end of the cart track is at an altitude of approximately 1350 to 1400 m) we continue on a visible footpath which crosses slopes towards the right, and soon the footpath joins an old marked path, on which we ascend to the gully, where the abandoned marked path steeply ascends beside the gully. For a few minutes we steeply ascend, then when we exit the gully we continue slightly right, where we notice one more faded blaze, and the footpath ends here. We continue through the clearing to the nearby Icmanikov stan, where we reach the marked path Plesnikova planina - Strelovec.
After the stan we step on a newer cart track, from which soon slightly to the right a marked path branches off, but we continue on the cart track, because the footpath in the upper part is impassable due to branches which were left when building the nearby forest road. On the cart track in a few minutes we ascend to Icmanikova planina, where there is a marked junction and from where a beautiful view opens up.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in the year 2016 (July).

Trip can be extended to: Logarska peč ( 5 min) , Strelovec ( 45 min)
