Marija Reka (Strgar) - Mrzlica (permanently closed path)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Celje highway, take the exit Šentrupert (from Ljubljana) or Šempeter (from Celje) and continue driving in the direction of Prebold and Trbovlje. After Prebold, the road brings us to the village of Marija Reka, where we continue driving along the stream. When we notice the mountain signposts on the left side of the road (they are located across a small bridge, on the other side of the stream by the edge of a house), we park on the parking lot by the road (the parking lot is located 100 m before the beginning of the path, and another parking lot is 500 m above the beginning of the path).

Route description:
The described path, due to passage through private land, is no longer passable. The new beginning of the path is located slightly lower along the road near Strgar's quarry.

From the parking lot, we first walk along the main road to the start of the footpath, cross a small bridge and then, between two houses and gardens, ascend to the path that leads into the forest. The path, which ascends steeply, brings us already after a few dozen steps to a cart track, which we quickly leave as the blazes direct us right upward onto a poorly trodden but marked path. The still bad and overgrown path then brings us a little higher to a decaying house. Before the house, the path turns left (poorly marked) and ascends diagonally above it. After approximately half an hour of walking, we come to a farm, where there is a junction.
We continue right in the direction of Mrzlica on a cart track that, without major changes in elevation, after a few minutes brings us to an asphalt road. We follow this road for about 5 minutes to the place where a footpath branches off to the left upward. The path soon brings us to a farm, where we continue left upward on a poorly marked path to another farm. Further, we ascend diagonally across a panoramic meadow to the forest, where the steepness eases. The path further brings us to a road, where we continue in the direction of Mrzlica (left Golava). After a few minutes, we leave the road and continue the ascent on a cart track in the direction of Mrzlica. Soon we come back to the road, where we continue left upward and follow it to the end. From the end of the road, we continue left upward on a poorly marked cart track. After a half-hour ascent from the end of the road, we come to an extensive grassy ridge, where we again reach the road. Here we continue left upward and follow the gentle road all the way to the mountain hut on Mrzlica.
From the hut to the top, we have less than 5 minutes of ascent.
