Quarry Ljubelj - Vranilac (Kalnik) (path 2)

Access to starting point:
a) Leave the Varaždin - Zagreb motorway at the exit for the town of Novi Marof, then continue left towards Ljubeščica. After one kilometre of driving, continue right towards the village of Ljubelj and the Ljubeščica quarry, which is already visible from the motorway. Continue past the quarry and a few farms along Križevačka Street. Further on, the road enters a gorge and shortly after reaches the second quarry, from which the road continues towards the villages of Kalnik and Borje. Park at a suitable spot at the beginning of the quarry.
b) From the old Varaždin - Zagreb road, at the town of Novi Marof, at the roundabout take the exit towards Varaždinske Toplice. A little further on, arrive at a junction from which motorway access is possible. Continue towards Ljubelščica, then follow the above description.

Path description:
From the starting point continue through the quarry along the unpaved road Ljubelj - Borje. Behind the quarry there are still a few parking spots. Upon reaching the shrine of Our Lady of Hrušov, the first gentle ascent begins. Leave the road after about 15 minutes, then continue left into the forest. Continue along the track that steeply ascends through the forest following the markers. Along the path notice also a jump for mountain bikers. A little further, path No. 2b branches left from our path, made a few years ago to bypass three streams that are harder to cross in rain, but we continue right slightly downhill and soon reach the crossing of the first stream, where there is still quite some mud a few days after rain. On the other side of the stream the path starts to ascend steeply, but levels out at the second stream (also quite muddy after rain here). Here the path leaves the track for a while and switches to a narrower forest path. Upon returning to the track, the third stream crossing awaits. The path then leaves the track again, but only for 2 minutes, then returns to another wider track, where path 2b joins us almost imperceptibly from the left. Here the path levels, then leads us in a gentle ascent to a larger junction.
At the junction, the path from Varaždinske Toplice via Pece, the educational trail and the unofficial path along the forest road to the mountain hut join. Continue ahead following the signs to the summit. Later from the path three consecutive paths to the mountain hut branch left, from the right the path from Novi Marof and the Zagorje mountain path join us. A little higher, precisely at some old willows, continue right towards the summit (branch marked).
Here the path becomes somewhat more demanding and continues along steep partly rocky slopes that are somewhat exposed in places. Several short ascents and descents follow and the path leads to a nice viewpoint. Before reaching the ridge two demanding paths branch left towards the Sedmi zob rock. Upon reaching the ridge a nice view opens to the southeast, we continue right towards the west and quickly arrive below the summit. Here a bracket helps to climb more easily over the steep rock to the summit.
On the summit there is a geodetic point, the logbook is somewhat below the summit, reached with the aid of a fixed cable.
