From the Hotel Grof, at the first roundabout, take the first exit for the branch church of St. Mohor and Fortunat in Stopnik. After a short asphalted climb, the path turns onto a gravel road, where the road descends briefly and then there is a climb to Čreta. During the climb, we have beautiful views of the south side of Vransko. Čreta has a Mountain Lodge, which is open at weekends and on public holidays.

Past the mountain lodge at Čreta, on the south side, the asphalted road descends to the turn-off for Jeronim and St. Jošta. The descent continues on a dirt road to the second Farbanca mountain lodge. On the descent to the north side towards Nazarje, the forests provide shade in summer. Along the Dreta River, cycle along the marked village asphalt roads to Mozirski Gaje. From the Gaj, continue on the asphalted road past the Forest Camp in Mozirje. The path turns to macadam and continues along the Savinja River on a rocky forest path (1 km). On the way to the Forest Camp and after it, before Letuš, there are two water springs. The asphalted road leads to Braslov Lake, where we slowly pass villages on our way back to Hotel Grof. Passing the Žovnek Lake, we can stop at Žovnek Castle and have another look at the lower Savinja Valley.
