Route description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the church of St. Rok, where the road turns right, and then with nice views, we continue past the house, where Franc Ksaver Meško, Slovenian writer, used to live and work. Further, the road leads us past a few more houses, and after a shorter ascent, we get to a smaller crossroad, where we go left in the direction of the mountain hut Poštarski dom and organic farm Ravnjak. Next follows another shorter ascent and we already get to the next crossroad, where we go right, and then follows a somewhat longer diagonal ascent. We leave the diagonal ascent on the asphalt road at the crossroad, where blazes and signs for homestead Španžel point us sharply left, on a side road, on which we quickly get to the mentioned homestead. Behind the homestead, we continue on a cart track, at first with nice views by the edge of the forest and then on a footpath through the forest, where we follow the blazes. Higher, we reach the macadam road, we follow it to the left, and after a minute of additional walking, we get to the mountain hut Poštarski dom pod Plešivcem.
