Hiking

Hiking From the farm you can go on several different routes, and two of them are described.

Panoramic path to Žusem

Route length: 3.7 km
Time of walking: 100 minutes
Difficulty of the route: easy way

Route description: From the farm Žurej Ječovo we head for the beautiful Javora Valley, where according to folk tradition the first potatoes in Slovenia are planted, cross the Voglajna River, and turn left into the forest. The marked trail leads us past the power supply, where hikers can also rant with spring water. We continue through a landscaped forest where with some luck we can pick many types of mushrooms. We get to the first heavier climb. This part of the trail is especially wonderful in the spring, during the Traditional Hike. The trail leads us to the “Count’s Štanta”, where we can join the Steep, very demanding route, or continue right along the road to the Užmah farm. Here, hikers are always welcome and well served. A beautiful view of the valley below us opens up and the view also views the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, Pohorje, Boča, Donačka. After a 15-minute walk, we reach the “pušnšank” Užmah, and the path continues along the trail to the small old Kozjanske house, where we turn left onto the gravel road. After ten minutes of macadam turn left into the hill and pass through the small chestnut forest to the famous “Flat Fields”. There used to be a Lipovšek farm here, but the Germans burned it down during the war. There’s a foundation and a little goat where we can rest. The German aggressor was also resisted by the mighty lime, which still stands today. We continue on the flat ground, left past The Big Špik (669m) (according to folk tradition, the first hunting prey in Slovenia, owned by the Žusem counts, is also there. We follow the marches and after a 10-minute walk we reach the location where the Tower of Love will be.
