Tremerje - Dom na Šmohorju (on ridge of Mali Slomnik)

Access to the starting point:
Tremerje is a settlement between Celjem and Laško. From the route of Celje, on the way to Laško, before the Hochkraut Inn, turn right at the crossroads towards Tremerjem. In the opposite direction of the turn at the junction is a bridge over the Savinja, where the central wastewater treatment plant Celje, financed by European funds, is located on the other side of the Savinja, as shown on the notice board. From the route of Laško, turn left at this junction. Immediately after the turn, the settlement is marked with a sign "Tremerje". Continue along the main road to the left turn, then straight on through the settlement for about 1 km southwards until you reach a large parking lot on the left hand side just next to the railway. Near the parking lot, on the opposite side of the road, there is a sign for Žerdoner's mountain trail to "Veliki Slomnik". Even otherwise, it is no longer viable to continue the route by car, as the flat part of the road ends about 300 metres further on, and there used to be an underpass Tremerje, which has been flooded several times.

Path description:
From the parking place, follow the asphalt road southwards towards Laško for about 300 metres, until you reach the former famous underpass Tremerje, which years ago was "paralysing and nerve-wracking", mainly because of frequent floods and too narrow a passage. Before the underpass and before the last farmhouse at the crossroads, leave the asphalt road and turn right uphill westwards on the forest gravel road onto an unmarked path. The road winds for about 100 metres in a gorge between the Malški graben stream on the left and homesteads on the left and right. At the last homestead, leave the dirt road and continue in the same direction up the cart track into the forest. First turn right soon enough, where you get a view of the Savinja, then turn left back in a westerly direction, where you slowly pass onto the rather sloping ridge of the Maly Slomnik. Always follow the well-trodden cart track in a pleasant forest, after a good kilometre or so, a little further from the power line, past the nondescript summit of Malý Slomnik, then a good 500 metres further along the ridge until we reach a fork in the path, where we are joined on the left by the marked trail from the same starting point in Tremerje, which runs mainly along the road.
From here, continue along the permanently marked path towards Dom na Šmohorju. Firstly along the forest path, also partly logging trail, which is now followed more concretely upwards. After a few minutes we reach a crossroads, where we turn sharp left upwards and join the macadam road coming from the right from Liboje and passing under the "Liboj wall" of Veliki Slomnik. Follow the dirt road upwards. This rises pleasantly to an abandoned farmhouse, where you turn quite sharp right up through a courtyard and under another farmhouse and by a cottage, where you come out on level ground to a crossroads.
Follow the "Šmohor" signs and continue sharp left up into the forest. Follow the pleasant mountain path, the signposting in this part is excellent, the path is undulating and the ascent is not too strenuous. Then a short stretch through a meadow/pasture glade. After a short stretch through the forest, another mountain trail from Liboje - from Podkoritnik - joins us on the flat part of the trail from the right. A few more steps and you are out of the forest. Before the macadam road, which leads to Malič on the left, turn right and walk slightly downhill to the meadow to the west. Then walk along the path next to the building under construction, where you can see the view of the Savinja side, then a few metres more, to the crossroads of several paths and roads, up through the small wood and you reach the goal of our route - Dom na Šmohorju.
