Description of mountain:
Approx 3 hours long partly circular hiking, climbing, and also a little adrenaline path which leads past the climbing area with three sectors and past numerous climbing routes on a natural wall (all relatively hard, from grade 5 and up), and the ferrata is situated at the very end of the upper section of climbing area (the difficulty is moderate: average B/C, one part C/D) and on the wall it has somehow four parts: diagonal left entrance, traverse, vertical upwards and a diagonal exit to the left. Most of the routes were already a decade ago equipped by the legend of Slovenian climbing walls Vili Guček, members of AO Trbovlje and AO Litija also participated and assisted, and this year also some fixed safety gear on ferrata were fixed.
The path and access from the settlement Renke are this year again cleared, harder spots on the footpath at the ascent are secured with a rope, and some new green markings were also installed (signposts, green triangles and arrows). By the path in the forest on the trees there are also some yellow arrows and rectangles, which were marked for their needs by hunters, … but those in the middle part don't always lead in the right direction, therefore on this tour follow the »green«. After leaving the ferrata you continue to the top of a rocky ribs, to a nice viewpoint below the hamlet Špital. Into the valley or back to the starting point we return on a descent footpath which bypasses ferrata and the upper part of climbing area, and the middle and bottom part of the path, we make on the same path.
