Tremerje - Malič (on western ridge of Malič)

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, bypass the farmhouse around its left flank or turn right up the asphalt road to the west. At first, follow the asphalt road, the markings and the signs for "Šmohor" between the isolated farmhouses, then change to the dirt road. At the end of the road between the houses, continue on a forest track, also partly logging trail, which is followed to the left, then more concretely upwards to the right. Re-join the dirt road, possibly also a forest road, and turn sharp left, also joining the path from Liboje on the right, which passes under the "Liboj wall" of Veliki Slomnik. Follow the Gozdnik road upwards. This climbs pleasantly up to an abandoned farmhouse, where you turn quite sharp right through a courtyard uphill and under another farmhouse and, at the weekend, onto a flat plain to a crossroads. Follow the "Šmohor" signs and continue sharp left up into the woods. The footing is very pleasant and finally a real mountain forest path. Follow the trail, the markings in this part are excellent, the trail is undulating and the ascent is not too strenuous. Then a short stretch through a grassland/pasture meadow. After a short stretch through the forest, another mountain trail from Liboj joins us on the flat part of the trail from the right. A few more steps and you will emerge from the forest onto the road, where a little further on and down you will see direction signs towards Malič. To the right, slightly downhill in the meadow, we see a large building almost completed; if we had continued in its direction, we would have reached Dom na Šmohorju, but we turn left into the forest towards Malič on its western ridge. The eastward route then runs somewhat parallel to the dirt road that also leads to Malič, but we hikers prefer the forest or ridge route with some ups and downs. After a while, the path leads to a paragliding airstrip. The path then climbs steeply and quickly takes us along the forested western ridge of Malič to the summit.
