Trebuša (gas station) - Koželj

Access to the starting point:
a) From the Ljubljana - Maribor motorway, take the Žalec exit and then continue in the direction of Velenje. The starting point of our route is before Velenje, at the beginning of the Velenjka shopping centre, by the Trebuša gas station. Parking options are at the shopping centre or at the nearby Petrol station on the right hand side of the road.
b) From Koroška, drive through Slovenj Gradec towards Velenje. At the main roundabout (1st roundabout) in Velenje, under the ski jumping hill, continue in the direction Celje - Ljubljana (4th exit). At the next roundabout, drive to the Velenjka shopping centre and park at the very end of the shopping centre, or continue straight ahead and park at the nearby Petrol station on the left hand side of the road.

Path description:
The starting point of our route is at the very beginning of the Velenjka shopping centre, looking from Celje towards Velenje, at the Trebuša gas station. Go over the small bridge and turn left. From a distance, you can see a descriptive sign standing at the edge of the forest. The sign describes the musician Fran Korun Koželjski and shows the route of three marked trails through Koželj.
Continue right into the forest. Follow the yellow-green markers. First walk along the wide forest path towards the foot of the slope and then cross the slope to the left. The steep path leads to a ridge. Continue to the right, with a path to the left leading to Mali Koželj.
From here, a steep zigzag path along the ridge leads to the highest point of Kožlja, at 590 mnv. After about 100 m you reach tables and benches and a locker with a registration book.
Here you will have a magnificent view of Velenje Castle, the town of Velenje and the surrounding hills to the north and west. The view of Uršlja Gora and Peca Mountain is particularly outstanding. The path from the Trebuša gas station is the second most visited path to Koželj, but also the steepest.
