Zgornja Rečica (cerkev bl. Antona Martina Slomška) - Baba (above Rečica)

Access to starting point:
We drive into Laško, and then at the traffic-light intersection we drive in the direction of Spodnja Rečica. Further on, Laško ends, and we arrive in Spodnja Rečica, and later also in Zgornja Rečica, where we drive to the parking lot by the cemetery below the church of Blessed Anton Martin Slomšek.

Route description:
From the spot where we parked, we first walk to the church, bypass it on the right side, and then continue on a narrower asphalt road that bypasses some homesteads on the right side, sticking to the right direction at crossroads.
Above the farm Jerček, which we bypass on the right side, the asphalt ends, and at the next turn, the road transitions into the forest, through which it continues all the way to the saddle Zavrate, where on the other side of the asphalt road is located the log cabin Brunarica pri knapu pod Babo.
From the Zavrate saddle, we head west on a footpath towards Baba and Ostrega vrh (east of the saddle, a path leads to Govško brdo). The path ahead first leads past the log cabin Brunarica pri knapu pod Babo, then continues along a gentle cart track. After a few minutes of easy walking, we notice a signpost directing us left onto a well-trodden footpath that begins to ascend more steeply. Higher up, the path becomes so steep that fixed safety gear is available for assistance, though not necessary in dry conditions (in wet or snowy conditions, there is a significant risk of slipping). We then follow this quite steep and well-maintained path to the peak of Baba, from where a beautiful view opens up.
The starting point - Zavrate 0:35, Zavrate - Baba 0:40.

Along the route: Pri knapu pod Babo (552m)
