Access to the starting point:
From the regional road Hrastnik - Litija, turn right at the traffic lights on the outskirts of Trbovlje, or left if you are coming from the route of Ljubljana, and drive into the centre of Trbovlje. Continue driving in the route Prebold, but follow the road only as far as Gornji Trbovlje, where you turn left at the traffic lights onto Cesta Tončke Čečeve, and then park in one of the car parks along the road (during weekdays, the car parks are reserved for employees of nearby companies).
Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the road along which we parked, then at a small crossroads near the chapel, continue left on a narrow and ascending road (at the crossroads, notice the signs for Sveta planina or Partizanski vrh). The road leads us on past a few houses, then passes onto grassy slopes, over which we climb to the last house.
Behind the last house, look for the waymarked cart track, which continues to climb along the edge of the forest. Higher up, the moderately steep cart track turns into a lane of scrub, then leads to a derelict house, beyond which you emerge onto a tarmac road. Follow the road to the right, which quickly leads to the next crossroads, where you turn left in the route Sveta planina. Continue up past a few houses, and then a path joins from the left, starting in the lower part of Trbovlje.
Continue along the increasingly scenic road, which has since lost its asphalt coating, and follow it to the "last" house in Planinska vas. We continue our ascent along the wide and well-marked cart track, which first leads us along the edge of the forest, and then, after passing a few houses on the right hand side, it turns into a slightly more compacted forest. Higher up, cart track takes us along the edge of extensive and steep grassy slopes, from which we have a fine view of the western part of the Posavje hills. A little further on, the path turns sharply to the right and passes into a dense forest, through which it climbs steeply. Higher up, we re-emerge from the forest, where we see the Sveta Marija church and, a little further ahead, the Mountain pasture inn. From the inn, continue straight ahead (sharp right at the top of Sveta planina for 2 minutes) and follow the road down to a small crossroads, where you continue straight ahead towards Čemšeniška mountain pasture (right Mrzlica and Podmeja). Continue along the road, which descends crosswise over the initially still scenic hillside. The road then turns into a forest and leads to a crossroads, where you continue to the right in the direction of Planinski dom Vrhe. Continue along the left-hand side, crossing the slopes of Javor, and then reach a crossroads, in the middle of which is the NOB (National Liberation Front) monument. Continue straight ahead here, passing the Church of St Lenart, and within a few minutes you will reach Planinski dom Vrhe. From the Mountain Home Vrhe, take the worse road in the direction of Čemšeniška mountain pasture. Walk along the road for a short distance and 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 overlook 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 located a few steps further to the right (straight down Hut na Čemšeniška mountain pasture). The way ahead takes you past the site of the old hut and past the hut of the radio amateurs. The summit, which can be reached easily, is located just a few steps above the above-mentioned amateur radio hut.
