Access to the starting point:
The "Laška vas - Pečovje" chapel is an ideal starting point for hiking tours in the nearby hills. For many years, the trestle was a feature of the Bojanski brook gorge between Pečovje and Laška vas, which is also the route of the asphalt road. As the goat house owned by a farmer had fallen into disrepair a few years ago, the municipality of Štore rebuilt it for its visibility with the help of European funds in order to preserve the vernacular architecture. Next to the trestle there is a large parking lot where we can park our little steel horse. The starting point can be reached by car from Celje and Štorje, where you can follow the signs for Svetina. Once you have passed the area of the old part of the ironworks in Štore, leave the main road to Svetina and turn right at the turn-off towards Pečovje. Continue along the narrow asphalt road for about 1 km and you will arrive at our hut. You can also reach the starting point on foot, as the path from the Štore railway station to the hut is fully marked.
Path description:
The starting point of the trail is at the new trestle. Most of our route to Vrunec's home is marked and marked with Barbarina cesta or Svetina signposts. A smaller part of our route will be on an unmarked path in the central part.
At the crossroads by the trestle, follow the signpost to Svetina across the Marija and continue along the asphalt road towards Pečovje. After about 200 metres, at the second crossroads, continue sharp left and slightly uphill. The asphalt road soon levels out again at the playground in Pečovje. Here is the starting point of the Barbara's Way, so for the first part of our trip we follow its signposts. After three terraced houses, turn left onto the forest road, which turns into a forest path at the last farmhouse. Shortly at the crossroads, continue left on the path that leads through Bojanski graben and leave Barbara's path, which leads straight up a steep hill. Follow the marked path in the narrow gorge of the Bojanski brook, but only up to the first crossroads, where the marked path turns left steeply uphill, and we continue straight ahead along the Bojanski brook. Soon we reach the abandoned Mirt homestead, where we cross the stream, leave the gorge and continue along a narrow path steeply uphill. Soon the path becomes cart track, which you follow upwards at a number of forks, eventually joining the marked Barbara's Path, which comes from the right past Marija, somehow parallel to the path along the Bojanski brook.
At the next fork, cross the forest road and continue along the ridge following the markings and signposts of the Barbara's path and towards Svetina. Soon you will reach a new crossroads, where you will continue to the left towards Alma's house, and to the right the trail branches off towards Tolstem vrh. Soon the path leads us to the ridge, past the turnoff to the right down towards Svetina, where we continue straight to Alma's home, or the Mountain Home at Svetina, which offers us a wonderful view to the south of the beautiful village of Svetina and the surrounding hills. Just above the lodge is a peak called Ramanca (781 m), which also offers views to the north. From here, it is only a ten-minute walk along the ridge to the east to reach the Vrunec home.
