Planinski dom Vrhe - Koča na Čemšeniški planini

Access to the starting point:
a) From Trbovlje or Zagorje ob Savi, drive to Čebine and from there continue to Sveta planina. Above Čebine, the road turns sharp right towards Sveta planina / Partizanski vrh, and we continue straight in the direction of the Mountain Home Vrhe. The road then leads us to a crossroads by the NOB monument, and we continue straight here and then park at a suitable place a little higher up by the church of St. Lenart, or a little higher still in the parking lot at Planinski dom Vrhe.
b) From the motorway Ljubljana - Maribor, take the Šempeter exit and continue to Prebold and later Trbovlje. Follow the serpentine road to the Podmeja Pass. From the pass, the road starts to descend towards Trbovlje and we follow it to a sharp left turn. Here we continue to the right and follow the road towards the village Vrhe. Park in the parking lot next to the Mountain House Vrhe, or at the nearby St Lenart Church.

Path description:
From Planinski dom Vrhe take the worse road in the direction of Čemšeniška mountain pasture. Follow the road for a short distance, then turn right onto the steeper cart track, which gradually turns into a forest. Higher up, we also leave the wide cart track, as the signs for Čemšeniška mountain pasture direct us slightly right on a path that almost completely lays down. There is a few minutes of crossing, and then the path turns slightly right and leads us out of the forest onto a scenic slope. Here the path turns left and begins to descend over a moderately steep grassy slope. At a lower level you reach the Gunet homestead, where you also get on the road.
Once on the road, continue right and after a few steps you will reach the next crossroads.
Continue straight ahead and follow the road, passing Gunet's Head (926 m) on the left. On the other side of the summit we reach a lookout saddle, and the road turns to the left here, and we walk along it for only 100 m, then the signs for Čemšeniška mountain pasture direct us sharp right to cart track, which first crosses the lane of a forest, and then leads us to an overlok slope from which we have a beautiful view towards Krvavica. Here, the cart track, which continues to climb for some time, turns to the left and then gradually turns into a slightly steeper footpath. Higher up, the footpath splits into two parts, and we have the choice of continuing along the rather steep and less well maintained marked mountain path, or along the slightly less steep parallel 'Lojzova cesta', which is newly surfaced and marked with light blue dots. Higher up, the two paths merge, and the path gradually flattens out and leads us to the edge of a steep ridge. The path continues along the right-hand side of the ridge, which then flattens out and descends to a crossroads at a registration box.
Continue straight on here (right down Vransko) and then at the next crossroads, which is only a few steps further on, straight on again (right Black Peak 1 minute). The way forward begins first to fold and then to descend moderately towards Koča na Čemšeniški planini, which is reached after 15 minutes of further walking.

On the way: Črni vrh (Čemšeniška planina) (1204m)
