Zidani Most - Nebeška gora (eastern path)

Access to starting point:
A) From Litija or Zagorje ob Savi we drive to Hrastnik, and from there we continue driving in the direction of Zidani Most. After the settlement Suhadol the road passes on the right side of the railway, and when a little further it again crosses the track, already after the gate, but still before the crossing of the track, a macadam road branches off to the right, along which the described path begins.
B) From Rimske Toplice or Radeče we drive to Zidani Most, from there we continue driving towards Hrastnik. When a little after the turn-off for Širje, the road first crosses the railway track, right after it a macadam road branches off to the left, along which the described path begins.

Route description:
Near the passage across the railway track we notice signs for Kum, which direct us to Cicka (Cicka is a manual cableway with the help of which we reach the other side of the Sava River). When we arrive on the other side of Sava we first step out of Cicka, then continue in the direction of the signs for Kum. Just a little after Cicka the path leads past the farm Trbežnik, which we bypass on the right side. Above the farm over a small bridge we cross the stream Suhi graben, then a little further we again cross the stream, this time without a bridge. When a little higher we again cross the stream, we step onto one of the larger Slovenian islets, because higher the stream splits into two parts and thus flows on both sides of the islet (in dry days one part of the stream dries up, so then there is no island). We walk on the islet for a few minutes, then leave it and for some time continue to the left of the stream. There follows a steep ascent up a steep slope, which leads us steeply above the stream. When we ascend transversely across the mentioned slope, where especially when wet greater caution is needed to avoid slipping, we enter the less steep Škratova dolina. Further the path leads past an old mill, then we cross the stream a few more times. A little further the path also leads past several smaller springs, above them we soon reach a poor macadam road. There follows an ascent along the road, which leads us through Škratova dolina, most of the time ascending through the forest. Higher the forest ends and a moderately steep path past the abandoned farm leads us to the asphalt road, where we join the Radeče - Kum path.
We follow the road to the left (to the right Kum and Nebeška gora - western path) and along it first slightly descend then begin to ascend transversely along the slopes of Nebeška gora. A little further the road levels out and brings us to a marked junction, where we turn sharply right towards Nebeška gora (straight ahead Čimerno, Radeče and Zagrad) and continue on the cart track, where at several smaller junctions we follow the blazes, a little further in the forest we go left from the wider cart track onto a poorer cart track, which soon turns into a footpath. Higher we reach the turn-off to the viewpoint, which is less than a minute's walk away, but the path to the viewpoint in the last few steps especially when wet is somewhat exposed to slipping. From the junction the final ascent follows and we reach the summit of Nebeška gora, where the wish bell is located.
