Access to the starting point:
Koča na Bohorju can also be climbed from Planina pri Sevnici or from the hamlet of Stara Žaga below it, where there is a larger parking lot next to the bus stop with signposts to Skalica, Koča na Bohorju and Lisca. You can get here from Sevnica, Šentjur or from Rimske Toplice through the Gračnice valley.
Path description:
From the starting point Stara Žaga, follow the signs to Skalica along the asphalt road towards Bohor. About 100 metres later, leave the road behind the houses to the right and follow a pleasant forest path up to a clearing with a hunting observation post and a feeding station. Then the forest welcomes you back. Higher up, you reach a dirt road, which you first cross and then follow, gently downhill in the last part. We arrive at Hunting lodge Bohor, which stands on a saddle below the top of Možnice. Continue along the forest road, following the signs, towards Skalice. Before it, you will come to a large crossroads. The right path leads to the precipitous peak Skalica, and we take the left path towards Veliki Javornik (and on to Koča na Bohorju).
We continue eastwards. Soon we get on the road and reach the crossroads below Veliki Javornik, which we climb by cart track and a steep track. At the top we are greeted by a large meadow where, at the highest point, a concrete pillar with a registration box and a stamp is erected. Unfortunately, the summit is not overlooked, so it is worth crossing the meadow to the west, where there is an excellent viewpoint with a bench and a view to the west.
From the highest point of Bohor, follow the signposts down into the forest to the east. Soon you will reach the road, which will take you to the Hut na Bohorju, according to the signposts.
