Podmeja - Adijev bivak na Reški planini (on ridge)

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana - Celje highway we take the exit Šempeter and continue driving towards Prebold and later Trbovlje. We then follow the serpentine road to the pass Podmeja, where on the parking lot near the hunting lodge we also park.
B) From Zasavje we first drive to Trbovlje, then continue driving towards Prebold. When we come to the pass Podmeja, we park on the parking lot near the hunting lodge.

Path description:
From the pass Podmeja we head west on a poor macadam road towards Sveta planina, or Partizanski vrh. After a few dozen steps, we leave the road and continue on a cart track which gently ascends through the forest. Higher, the cart track entirely flattens and from an indistinct ridge gradually passes on the shady side. Here, the marked cart track turns sharply right (badly marked) and begins to descend noticeably. At the end of the descent, we step on a wide cart track, on which we walk in a few steps to an asphalt road which we follow to the right. Next, with a view of Kum and ascending past a few houses, we reach a marked junction, where we continue right towards Sveta planina - on the road (straight Sveta planina - on a footpath).
Next follows a diagonal ascent on a panoramic slope, and then the road passes into the forest. A little further, on the right a view opens up towards Golava, Kamnik and Mrzlica, and the road brings us to a marked junction.
We continue right in the direction of Reška planina, Dom pod Reško planino, Gradišče and Šmiglova zidanica (slightly left - Vrhe, Sveta Planina, Čemšeniška planina and Krvavica), where soon after the junction we notice a notice that we are in the brown bear habitat area. The path ahead continues on the asphalt road and first on the left side bypasses Nacetov vrh (828 m), then on the right side Jamškov vrh (811 m).
When we reach the saddle between Jamškov vrh and Reška planina, from a marked junction we continue left towards Reška planina along the ridge and Šmiglova zidanica and Grajska vas (slightly right Dom pod Reško planino).
Next follows a few minutes of a diagonal ascent on an asphalt road, where we first bypass a nearby homestead on the right side; in approximately 15 minutes, we reach a junction at the saddle Čeren, where we continue sharply right on a ridge path towards Reška planina (slightly right Strnik, Tolsti vrh, Šmiglova zidanica and Grajska vas, straight on a drivable road towards Tabor and Grajska vas).
The path ahead leads us along the western ridge of Reška planina, ascending moderately at first, then more steeply. We soon reach the indistinct peak Popelova skala, followed by a short descent along and beside the ridge, where additional caution is needed in some spots due to the considerable steepness of the slopes. Further along, the ridge becomes less steep, and in a gentle ascent, we reach the indistinct peak of Reška planina, recognizable by the inscription on a tree.
From the summit of Reška planina, we begin a gentle descent, then the path levels out and, with minimal changes in elevation, leads us in about five minutes of further walking to Adijev bivak on Reška planina.
Podmeja - Reška planina, Reška planina - Adijev bivak 0:05.
