Access to starting point:
We leave the Styrian motorway at the Arja vas exit, then follow the road in the direction of Velenje. At the end of the settlement Velika Pirešica we leave the main road towards Velenje and continue driving left onto the side road in the direction of Ponikva pri Žalcu. In the continuation we drive along a somewhat narrower and mostly ascending road, which we follow to the fire station in Ponikva pri Žalcu, where we park at one of the nearby arranged parking lots.
There are also some parking options near the Church of St. Pancras and near the cemetery.
Path description:
From the fire station we first walk to the Church of St. Pancras, where we continue along the right side of the church. Behind the church the first markings appear. From the church we continue for a short time on the asphalt road. At a small saddle, just a few steps after the road sign that marks the end of the settlement Ponikva, we go slightly left onto a cart track, along which there are mountain signs for the summit of Apno. The cart track leads us gently across the meadow to a hunting lookout, where we go right. Near the nearby apiary we then go left to the entrance to the forest. The path continues through the forest; at several junctions we follow the markings and in a few minutes of further walking we arrive at Malo Apno, where there is a small shelter or bivouac.
From the bivouac we follow the signs for the summit of Apno. We first descend a bit to some kind of terrace between the two peaks, then in a few minutes we climb to the summit of Apno.
Starting point - Malo Apno 0:20, Malo Apno - Apno 0:10.
