Potok (Mostni graben) - Dom na Čreti (via Dom na Farbanci)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Mozirje (to here from Šoštanj or highway Ljubljana - Maribor (exit Šentrupert)), from where, from the main roundabout, we continue driving towards Gornji Grad and Logarska dolina. A few kilometers ahead, after the Petrol gas station, we turn left in the direction of Nazarje. Further, we drive through Nazarje, where we follow the signs for settlements Dobletina and Šmartno ob Dreti. Further, we drive through Dobletina and Lačja vas, and after the bridge over Dreta we continue left towards the village Potok. At the end of the village, the road passes into the forest and then continues along the stream Mostni graben. About 200 meters ahead we arrive at a smaller parking lot, beside which there are hiking signposts and a small wooden bridge across which the described path begins.
B) We drive to the settlement Šmartno ob Dreti (to here from Gornji Grad, Ljubno ob Savinji or Vransko over the mountain pass Lipa), and then we continue driving towards Nazarje. After the settlement Pusto Polje we continue right towards the village Potok. At the end of the village, the road passes into the forest and then continues along the stream Mostni graben. About 200 meters ahead we arrive at a smaller parking lot, beside which there are hiking signposts and a small wooden bridge across which the described path begins.

Route description:
We start over the small bridge, by which we notice signs for Dom na Farbanci. Next follows an ascent through the forest, where we first ascend on a cart track, higher on a well-maintained footpath which leads us past Lahki studenec. Above the spring we cross another cart track, and then the relatively steep path flattens a little and passes into an indistinct small valley. From the small valley we soon turn a little to the right, and then we first join a cart track, a few steps higher also the macadam road, along which we quickly reach the mountain hut Dom planincev na Farbanci.
From Dom na Farbanci we continue left from the left road, where the path past a wooden cottage leads us into the forest. Through the forest we first ascend on a hiking trail, then we come to a wide cart track, on which we continue a relatively steep ascent. Higher the cart track turns sharply left, still higher a little to the right, where it also flattens and splits into two parts. We continue on the slightly left one, by which there are also blazes. Further a fairly level path leads us past a smaller chasm, then we quickly reach the forest road, on which we then ascend to the nearby marked junction Borovnjak, where the path to Tolsti vrh branches off to the right, and we continue on the left road in the direction of Čreta.
Next follows a few minutes of walking through the forest, then, when we arrive out of the forest, at the junction we continue left in the direction of Čreta.
Next follows a short ascent to the church of St. Katarina, then across the yard of the nearby house we walk to the next junction, where from the left another path from the settlement Kokarje joins us.
From the mentioned junction we continue right in the direction of Dom na Čreti (left first along the Kokarje road, straight on the cart track to the church of Holy Mother of God) and continue the path on the cart track, which descends diagonally through the forest. When the forest ends, we continue right and past a chapel descend to the mountain hut.
