Zidani Most - Nebeška gora (eastern path)

Access to starting point:
A) From Litija or Zagorje ob Savi we drive to Hrastnik, and from there we continue driving in the direction of Zidani Most. After the settlement Suhadol the road passes on the right side of the railway, and when a little further it again crosses the track, already after the gate, but still before the crossing of the track a macadam road branches off to the right, by which there is the beginning of the described path.
B) From Rimske Toplice or Radeče we drive to Zidani Most, from there we continue driving towards Hrastnik. When a little after the turn-off for Širje, the road first time crosses the railway track, right after it a macadam road branches off to the left by which there is the beginning of the described path.

Path description:
Near the passage across the railway track we notice signs for Kum, which point us to Cicka (Cicka is a manual cableway with the help of which we get to the other side of the river Sava). When we get on the other side of Sava at first we step out from Cicka, and then we continue in the direction of signs for Kum. Only a little after Cicka the path leads us past the farm Trbežnik, which we bypass on the right side. Above the farm over a small bridge we cross the stream Suhi graben, after that only a little further we again cross the stream, this time without the bridge. When a little higher we again cross the stream, we step on one of the larger Slovenian islets, because higher the stream splits into two parts and so runs on both sides of islet (in dry days one part of the stream dries up, so then it isn't an island). Few minutes we walk on the islet, and then we leave it and we for some time continue left from the stream. Next follows a steep ascent on a steep slope, which leads us above the stream. When we diagonally ascend on the mentioned slopes, where mainly in wet more caution is needed, that we don't slip, we step into a less steep valley Škratova dolina. Further, the path leads us past an old mill, and then we few times also cross the stream. A little further, the path leads also past several smaller springs, and above them we soon reach a bad macadam road. Next follows an ascent on the road which leads us through the valley Škratova dolina, and most of the time we are ascending through the forest. Higher up, the forest ends, and a moderately steep path past the abandoned farm leads us to an asphalt road, where we join the path Radeče - Kum.
We follow the road to the left (to the right, Kum and Nebeška gora - western path), first slightly descending and then starting to ascend diagonally along the slopes of Nebeška gora. A little further, the road flattens and brings us to a marked crossing, where we turn sharply right in the direction of Nebeška gora (straight ahead Čimerno, Radeče, and Zagrad) and continue along a cart track, where at a few smaller crossings we follow the blazes; a little further in the forest, we turn left from a wider cart track onto a narrower cart track, which soon turns into a footpath. Higher up, we reach a turn-off to the viewpoint, which is less than a minute’s walk away, but the path to the viewpoint in the last few steps, especially in wet conditions, is somewhat exposed to slipping. From the crossing, the final ascent follows, and we reach the summit of Nebeška gora, where the wish bell is located.
