Access to the starting point:

Path description:
From the parking lot, first carefully cross the main road and continue along the side road in the direction of GEOSS and Vač. The way forward leads past the fire house of the fire brigade PGD Kandrše and Napoleon's Stone, and at the sign for the beginning of the municipality of Litija, turn left off the asphalt road onto cart track. Walk along cart track until you enter the forest, then signs direct you to the right (straight unmarked path to Slemšek), where you climb through lane of the forest. After a short climb, we return to the asphalt road and follow it up to a nearby crossroads, where we leave the road towards Vače and GEOSS and continue right on a side road, which leads us to a small hamlet where the road ends. Pass all the houses on the left and continue along the cart track, which descends gently at first and then ascends gently across the meadow to the hamlet of Strmca. Here, rejoin the road and climb past houses and a sign to a less well-marked crossroads, where you go right downhill (you can follow the road on the left to reach Slivna and GEOSS). There is some downhill and you arrive in the municipality of Moravče, with a fine view from the path, which reaches the Kamniško Savinjske Alps. A little further on, we arrive in Gora pri Pečah, where we turn slightly left from the crossroads towards Zgornja Gora
There is a cross-country climb, and then another slight left turn (slightly to the right to the hamlet of Dolina), and a few minutes higher up you reach the hamlet of Zgornja Gora, where there is a crossroads of marked trails.

A marked trail leads sharp left towards GEOSS, and we continue straight on, following the signs for the trail around Slivna. Above the hamlet, the road becomes steeper and in a few minutes leads us to the church of St Florian, from which we have a beautiful view of Posavsko hribovje, and in good visibility the view reaches all the way to the Alps.
From the church, continue along the road, which transitions into a forest and climbs moderately for the most part. Higher up, we leave the forest and pass a hunting observation post to reach a crossroads, where we join the marked trail that leads over or past Pivklj.
Continue along the road, passing a signpost, to the hamlet of Štance Laze, after which the road begins to descend more visibly. Before a sharp right turn, a beautiful view of the surrounding hills opens up, and the macadam road becomes asphalt lower down. Continue downhill, and at the crossroads continue straight ahead. Lower down, the road is laid, and then leads us past the ranch pr Oselet, after which we go slightly right, onto a path that crosses the lane of a forest and quickly leads us to the Ušte - Žerenk mountain home. Kandrše - St Florian 1:30, St Florian - Dom Ušte - Žerenk 1:05.
