Planina pri Sevnici - Brest (Bohor) (northern path)

Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Sevnica (to get here from Radeče, Mokronogo or Krško), then take the road in the direction of Planina pri Sevnici. When you reach the Petrol station located near Planina pri Sevnici, turn right in the direction of Montpreis and park in the large asphalt parking lot next to the cemetery just after the intersection.
b) Drive to Šentjur (to get here from Celje, the Štajerska motorway exit Dramlje or Šmarij pri Jelšah), then follow the signs for Kozje and Mountain pasture near Sevnica. At the end of Šentjur go right towards Planina pri Sevnici (slightly left Kozje and Podsreda). Continue mostly uphill, then when the road levels out and you see a Petrol station on the right hand side, located in the immediate vicinity of Planina pri Sevnici, go left towards Montpreis and then just after the crossroads park in the cemetery parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, return to the main road and head towards Sevnica from the nearby crossroads. For about 20 minutes, we descend along the edge of the main road, which offers beautiful views of the surrounding hills, and then we reach the village of Stara Žaga, where signs direct us left onto a side road. The way forward climbs past a few houses and arrives at a marked crossroads where the marked path splits.
Continue along the road in the route Koča na Bohorju (right Skalica), which becomes macadam at the end of the settlement and leads into the gorge of the Belega potok. Higher up, the road makes two serpentines, and from the junction after the second serpentine go left. Continue up the road for a while, and then, when the road turns right, continue left along the stream, where a short steep section is helped by a rope (there is a greater risk of slipping, especially in wet conditions and if it is frosty). A little further on we are helped by another rope, and then we climb crosswise to the saddle north of Kamnega vrh (833 m), where we return to the road and where there is a marked crossroads.
The road to the Partisan Hospital turns sharp left, the road to Koča na Bohorju continues straight up, and we continue on the left road, which then climbs cross-climbing to the left. We continue to climb through the forest for quite some time, and here and there the road also descends a little, occasionally opening up some views to the north. After passing the peaks of Mali and Veliki Koprivnik, Ostrvec, we arrive on the north-eastern slopes of Debeli vrh, where we join the path from Pilštanj and Kozje.
Here go slightly right in the direction of Koča na Bohorju and continue climbing crosswise to the left. After a few minutes of further walking, you will reach a marked crossroads located at Brest.
