Path description:
At the Laško Fire House you will see the start of the trail leading to Šmohor. The trail initially leads past the fire house, then after a few 10 m we arrive at a small chapel, next to which we see mountain direction signs. Here we continue along the ascending road in the direction of Šmohor, Kala and Mrzlica, and we follow it in the first fork to the right and then leave it after a few metres, as the signs direct us left on a marked footpath, which initially climbs up the stairs. Above the houses, the path continues across the meadow, which leads to the grassy cart track by the electricity pylon. Next, with a view of Laško and Hum, walk to the edge of the wood, then continue past the sign into the lane wood. Climb along the edge of the forest for a short distance, then turn off onto what was initially a dirt road, which leads to an asphalt road with good views of Posavsko hribovje. Follow the road to the right, which quickly leads to a small crossroads where the road to the farm Primož branches off to the right. Continue straight ahead, and follow the road to a small hamlet where the asphalt ends. We continue along the marked dirt road (direction Šmohor), which soon turns left into cart track, which leads to Šmohor. The ascent continues along the above-mentioned cart track, which, in a cross-climb over a relatively steep slope, quickly leads to the next farm.
From the farm, continue along cart track, which climbs between grazing fences, then passes into the woods and splits into two parts. Continue along the lower left-hand cart track, which joins a dirt road a few minutes higher, which is followed to the left. The road opens up some views towards Laško and the surrounding area, and then signs direct us right onto the ascending cart track, which soon lays completely flat and then crosses the slopes to the left. A little further on, we briefly join the tarmac road leading to Šmohor, and we continue on the marked footpath which runs parallel to the road. Slightly higher up, a steep path branches off to the right at a larger rock to Malič, and we continue straight ahead and after a few minutes of further walking we reach a marked crossroads where a second, less steep path to Malič branches off to the right. Continue straight across the larger meadow and walk past the newly built house to the next crossroads. Continue straight on again (left down Tolsto and Huda Jama) in the direction of the Homestead on Šmohor, reaching it after a minute's further walking.
