Vače - Sveti Križ (Slemšek)

Access to starting point:
A) From the road Moravče - Zagorje ob Savi, in the settlement Kandrše we turn right (from the direction of Zagorje left) in the direction of Vače and GEOSS. A few kilometers of ascent follow, on a smaller saddle, where a road towards GEOSS branches off to the right, we continue straight and descend to the settlement Vače, where we park by the cemetery or parish church of St. Andrew.
B) From the road Ljubljana - Litija, in the settlement Spodnji Hotič we turn onto the road in the direction of the settlement Vače. A few kilometers of ascent follow, where we follow the signs for Vače; when we arrive in the mentioned settlement we park by the parish church or a little further on the larger parking lot by the cemetery.

Route description:
From the parish church in Vače we first descend along the main road towards the west, after some ten steps we arrive at a crossroads, where we continue left in the direction of the settlement Klenik. The easy descent ends a little further on, and the road leads us along the edge of a meadow with a view of the hill Slemik, where we pass several sculptures. At the sign for the beginning or end of the settlement Klenik, the marking directs us left uphill onto a path that ascends to the nearby house, which we bypass on the left side.
Above the house we step onto a cart track, which we follow slightly to the left, from it we soon go right onto the marked footpath. The path after a few minutes crosses a cart track, but we continue on the marked path which continues ascending through the forest. A somewhat steeper ascent follows and in a few minutes of further walking we arrive at the church of the Holy Cross on Slemik.
