Dolina potoka Žep - Počka (Robnikova) planina

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Maribor highway, take the Šentrupert exit and follow the road ahead towards Logarska dolina. In the village Ljubno ob Savinji, the signpost for Smrekovec directs us right. The road then takes us through the center of the village, where we turn left again following the signs for Smrekovec. The road then brings us to Ljubenske Rastke, where at the intersection near the church we continue left. We follow this road to the sharp right turn, in the middle of which a macadam road branches off straight ahead, which we follow to the mountain signposts for Žep, Robnik and Lovska koča. We park on one of the smaller parking lots by the road (more appropriate space is a little higher).

Route description:
First, with the help of a wooden footbridge we cross the stream Žep, then the mountain signposts direct us onto an initially quite overgrown and steep footpath. The path quickly enters a dense spruce forest, where it continues steeply ascending. We soon step out of the forest onto grassy slopes, where the footpath disappears. Here, a little higher on a tree, we notice a mark that directs us straight up the slope. After a short ascent, we cross the cart track and the path brings us to the ruins of a former farmstead.
Further on, we continue along a poorly visible but marked path that ascends parallel to a somewhat wider cart track. Higher up, the path joins the cart track, which immediately splits. We continue sharply left along the somewhat steeper cart track, which higher up turns into a footpath that soon brings us to a forest road, which we follow to the right. After a few minutes of walking along the road, we emerge from the forest, where we see the vast Počka planina ahead of us.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Planina Mali Travnik (1 h), Mali Travnik (1 h 5 min), Koča na Travniku (1 h 20 min), Veliki Travnik (1 h 45 min)
