From Ljubljana, take the motorway towards Styria. Leave the motorway at the Celje - centre exit and continue towards Zreče. In Zreče you will reach a roundabout, which you leave at the third exit (sign for the centre). Continue on the main road, which leads past the Tuš Kea market and the Pod Roglo hotel, and then begins a steep, winding climb to the Rogla ski resort. Park in the car park near the Planja Hotel.

Continue on foot along the road that leads past the church on your right. Shortly after the church, a grassy path branches off to the left and we turn onto it. Continue along the ski slope, passing the NOB monument on your left, and then the end station of the ski lift and several wooden sculptures along the slope. Shortly after the sculpture of the hunter, you will see direction signs on a tree pointing to the left (the scenic route, the partisan route, the peat route). After only a few minutes' walk, you will see a tall lookout tower on your left, which you turn towards. Continue along the left side of the tower, where you will also be directed by the signpost for Pesek. The path leads into a dense spruce forest. At first it leads us on level ground, but then it starts to descend. Continue at this pace until you reach the macadam road, which you join and continue to the right to the hut, which is only about 5 minutes away.
