Lopata - Planinski dom Šentjungert

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Žalec and follow the road towards Arja vas. At the crossroad at the end of Arja vas, we continue left towards Celje. Further, the road through the village Levec brings us to Celje, where at the big crossroad (almost at the beginning of Celje) we continue left towards the village Lopata. Only a few dozen meters after the village Lopata, the road towards Šentjungert branches off to the left. We park on the parking lot by the bus stop at the beginning of the road towards the village Šentjungert.
From the Maribor side we can leave the highway at exit Celje - center, and then to the above-mentioned crossroad we drive in the direction of Ljubljana. Further, follow the above description.

Route description:
From the bus stop, we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of Gora. The road, which at first ascends gently, leads us through the village Gorica, after which we come to the dispersed settlement Šentjungert, where the blazes direct us to the left, at first past houses and then across a meadow upwards. At the top of the meadow we come to the road, where we continue right onto the yard of one of the houses and then immediately left onto a footpath, which higher up ascends along the pasture fence. Only a little further, we again step onto the road, which we follow for a few steps to the next junction. The blazes direct us onto a footpath which ascends more steeply through the forest. After a short ascent, we again step onto the road, which we follow upwards. We continue along the road, which from the forepeak just ascended, in a gentle descent brings us to the saddle between the two peaks. Further, we continue on the road, which ascends somewhat more steeply and brings us to the mountain hut Šentjungert in a few minutes.
