Path description:
From the Church of St Andrew, continue along the asphalt road, which after a few minutes of relatively scenic walking leads to the Savinek cafeteria and a few steps further to a marked crossroads.
From the crossroads, continue straight ahead (right Smrekovec and Andrejev dom na Slemenu) in the direction of Sv. Križan and Smrekovec and continue along the asphalt road, which then descends slightly. When the road stops descending, you will quickly reach a marked crossroads at the Homec pass, where you will continue left on the road in the direction of Sv. Križan (straight ahead Smrekovec).
At the pass, the Šaleška planinska trail joins us from the left, but after a few steps it branches off the road to the right. The way forward leads us along a steep asphalt road or along a marked shortcut leading along a steep forest track. The track crosses the asphalt road several times, and after about 30 minutes from the Homec Pass we reach the top of St Križan, where there are a large number of church buildings and a conversion tower.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2016 (April).
