Path description:
From the crossroads at the bus stop we head onto the side road which branches off from the main road towards the southwest, from it before the chapel we go right and ascend past a few more houses. At the smaller crossroads a little higher we go right, then past the last houses, where the asphalt ends. The path ahead leads us along a gravel road which crosses the slopes to the right, at two road forks we go slightly right and then cross the stream. After the stream the road turns into a wider cart track which begins to ascend more steeply. Higher up the cart track, which gradually narrows, makes a few hairpin turns, then joins the path from Hotavlje which leads along the ridge of Bela.
We continue left along the wider path which soon widens into a cart track, this one turns slightly left and brings us out of the forest at the hunting observatory. Here along the lower edge along the cart track we cross the meadow, when we reach the gravel road we follow it to the right. The road soon begins to descend and brings us to the crossroads in a few minutes, where we reach the asphalt road. Along the asphalt road we ascend to the nearby crossroads from which we continue right in the direction of Slajka.
Next follows the ascent along the asphalt road, when we leave the forest the marked path from Hotavlje joins us from the right.
The asphalt road then leads us past a bench, where the path towards Vrh Slajke branches off to the right, but we follow the road which turns semicircularly to the left to the nearby farm, from which the mountain hut Dom na Slajki is only a minute's walk away.
