Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Maribor motorway, take the Žalec exit and continue towards Arji vas. At the crossroads at the end of the village, continue straight on towards Liboj. At Liboje turn left in the direction of Košnica pri Celju and follow the road for about 850 metres to a large private parking lot and a yellow house at the crossroads, where the road leading to the Kralj bio-farm branches off to the right. At this junction there is also a self-service stand of the farm and a nice signpost for the Kralj organic farm. A mountain signpost for Šmohor and Veliki Slomnik is also placed next to the latter. You can park at a suitable place near the starting point.
Path description:
From the basic starting point described above (Fig. 1), follow the signpost towards the Kralj and Šmohor biofarm along the asphalt road up a gentle incline. However, 350 metres before the basic starting point described above, there is an alternative starting point (Figure 2) at the crossroads by the chapel, where there is also a signpost for Šmohor and Veliki Slomnik on a tree. The two routes from the two starting points merge on a dirt road about 700 metres further on. The disadvantage of the alternative starting point is that there is no convenient parking place nearby.
From the starting point, follow the asphalt road for about 200 metres to the Kralj bio-farm, and then continue in the same direction along the dirt road, which branches off towards the stream flowing under the Líboje wall of the Veliki Slomnik. At the last homestead before the stream, the road turns into a track that runs right next to the stream. Soon, you will come out on a dirt road coming from the right from the route of the alternative starting point. We head left towards Šmohor. The dirt road then turns into a forest. Continue to a crossroads where the path goes left for Veliki Slomnik and right for Šmohor.
Continue to the right in the direction of Šmohor, slightly uphill in the embrace of the forest. The waymarked trail follows the forest road right-left, steepening, passing here and there an isolated farmhouse or cottage. Soon we reach a crossroads, where the path from Tremeri joins from the left. Still on the forest road, follow it upwards. When you come directly to an abandoned farmhouse, turn quite sharp right up through the yard and under another farmhouse and by a cottage, where you come out on level ground to a crossroads.
Follow the signs "Šmohor" and continue sharp left up into the woods. Follow the pleasant mountain path, the signposting in this part is excellent, the path is undulating and the ascent is not too strenuous. Then a short stretch through a grassland/pasture glade. After a short stretch through the forest, another mountain trail from Liboje - from Podkoritnik - joins us on the flat part of the trail from the right. A few more steps and you are out of the forest. Before the macadam road, which leads to Malič on the left, turn right and walk slightly downhill on the meadow towards the west. Then walk along the path next to the building under construction, where you can see the view of the Savinja side, then a few metres more, to the crossroads of several paths and roads, up through the small wood and you reach the goal of our route - Dom na Šmohorju.
We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Gozdnik
