Path description:
From the parking lot of Terme Topolšica spa we walk through the spa park in which there is a memorial room of the signing of the German capitulation. The marked path starts above the road at the stairs which lead uphill. We soon arrive at the parking lot of Topolšica Hospital, where a sign directs us to a steep path in the forest above the hospital. After 15 minutes we arrive at an asphalt road down which we descend a little. At the device for preparing drinking water we turn left onto a steep asphalt road, where we follow the blazes through the forest. When we come out of the forest we leave the road and head across a meadow and then through the forest until the footpath brings us to a macadam road along which we continue. The path leads us through mixed forest along the ridge of Lom to the abandoned farm Dražnik. From here we continue along the road to the farm Vodovnik and then to the farm Ravs. A little further we arrive at the end of the road alongside which there is a holiday cottage. Here we turn right into the forest and after a few meters we reach the marker for the summit of Lom (Lomek).
