Path description:
From the crossroad at the bus stop we go on a side road which from the main branches off towards the southwest, and from there before the chapel we go right and we ascend past few more houses. At the smaller crossroad a little higher we go right, and then we go past the last houses, where the asphalt ends. The path ahead leads us on a macadam road which crosses slopes towards the right, and at two crossroads, we go slightly right and then we cross the stream. After the stream the road changes into a wider cart track which starts ascending steeper. Higher, the cart track which gradually narrows makes few hairpin turns, and then joins the path from Hotavlje, which leads on the ridge of Bela.
We continue left on a wider footpath which soon widens into a cart track, and it turns a little left and at the hunting observatory comes out of the forest. Here by the lower edge on a cart track we cross a meadow, and when we reach the macadam road we follow it to the right. The road soon starts descending and in few minutes brings us to a crossroad, where we reach an asphalt road. On the asphalt road, we ascend to the nearby crossroad from which we continue right in the direction of Slajka.
Next follows an ascent on the asphalt road, and when we leave the forest, from the right joins the marked path from Hotavlje.
On the asphalt road, we walk few more strides, and then before the bench, we continue right (straight - mountain hut Dom na Slajki and Ermanovec) on a cart track which slightly descends, and then in a moderate ascent we ascend there to Vrh Slajke, where stands an antenna tower.
