Vače - Zasavska Sveta gora (on a slope)

Access to starting point:
A) From the road Moravče - Zagorje ob Savi, in the settlement Kandrše we turn right (from the direction of Zagorje left) in the direction of Vače and GEOSS. There follows a few kilometers of ascent, on a smaller saddle, where a road towards GEOSS branches off to the right, we continue straight and descend to the settlement Vače, where we park by the cemetery or the parish church of St. Andrew.
B) From the road Ljubljana - Litija, in the settlement Spodnji Hotič we turn onto the road in the direction of the settlement Vače. There follows a few kilometers of ascent, where we follow the signs for Vače, when we arrive in the mentioned settlement we park by the parish church or a little further on the larger parking lot by the cemetery.

Path description:
From the parish church in Vače along the main road we first descend towards the west, after a few dozen steps we arrive at a crossroads, where we continue left in the direction of the settlement Klenik. An easy descent ends a little further ahead, and the road with a view on the hill Slemik leads along the edge of a meadow, where we go past several sculptures. At the sign for the beginning or the end of the settlement Klenik, the marker directs us left upwards onto a footpath which ascends to the nearby house, which we bypass on the left side.
Above the house we step onto a cart track, which we follow slightly to the left, from it we soon go right onto a marked footpath. The path after a few minutes crosses a cart track, we continue on the marked path, which continues ascending through the forest. There follows a somewhat steeper ascent and in a few minutes of further walking we arrive at the church of the Holy Cross on Slemik.
From the top we follow the signs for Sveta gora and begin descending along a cart track, where the path leads us past a larger chapel. There follows some more descent, where we follow the markers, along the path we notice some information boards of the archaeological path Vače. There follows crossing a meadow, then through the forest on a marked path we descend to a macadam road. We follow the road towards the east, along it we mostly ascend gently to moderately. During the ascent we go past a quarry, a few minutes further the road flattens and brings us to the settlement Vovše, where we go past a few houses, behind the houses we gradually begin to descend. When we begin ascending again we go past two older houses, behind which there follows some steeper ascent through the forest. When the forest ends we arrive at the ecological farm and cheese dairy Vovše.
At the farm we go slightly left onto a marked footpath in the direction of Zasavska Sveta gora. There follows a shorter traverse ascent and we arrive at a marked junction, where the path splits.
We continue on the lower path (along the slope), which is somewhat shorter (slightly left path along the ridge), which flattens and crosses the slopes of Zasavska gora. The slope along which we walk soon becomes steeper and rocky, the path is full of scree and quite panoramic. In the last part of the crossing a steel cable helps us (undemanding when snowless), then we reach a smaller saddle, where the ridge path and unmarked path along a cart track join, which starts from the settlement Kostrevnica.
The path ahead ascends along a cart track, from it we temporarily go right onto a marked path, which soon returns to the cart track. We walk a short time more along the cart track, when it begins to descend we continue slightly right onto a marked path, which splits a few steps ahead.
We continue right in the direction of the church on Zasavska Sveta gora (straight to Koča na Zasavski Sveti gori) and after a shorter steep ascent we step onto the summit, from which a nice view opens, reaching all the way to the Alps.
