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 (on 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 the Vrhe Mountain Home. Continue along the left-hand side, crossing the slopes of the Javor peak, and then arrive at a crossroads, in the middle of which there is a monument to the National Liberation Monument. Continue straight ahead here, and in a few minutes walk past the Church of St Lenart to the Vrhe Mountain Home.
