Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Maribor, take the exit Celje - centre and continue in the direction of Laško and Zidanega Most. The road takes you through the centre of Celje, and then leads you to a roundabout with a water meter in front of the Savinja River. Here, continue "straight on" over the first bridge (towards Laško and Zidani Most) and follow the road to the next traffic lights, where you turn left over the second bridge over the Savinja. Just after the bridge, turn right at the junction. After about 500 metres, you will come to an underpass under the railway line (with a large parking lot on the right and the starting point in Zagrad), drive through it and continue straight on past the fire station in Zagrad. Follow the road through the village, and higher up in Zvodno it leads to a small crossroads by the bus station, where you will see signs and signposts for Grmada to the right, Hudičev graben to the right, and the parking lot 1. 2 km to the right. Continue straight towards the new parking lot (2020) and the road gradually becomes flatter and narrower. The new parking lot - our starting point is just off the road in front of the fish farm. Here you can park and start your hike along the paths leading either through Bojanski graben, past Marija, through Hudičev graben or through Suhi potok. The starting point can also be reached from Dolenjska and Zasavje. In this case, first drive to Rimske Toplice and then through Laško to the second bridge described above, from where you continue as described.
Path description:
From the starting point, the signs for Hudičev graben direct us first to the road past the retaining wall back towards Celje, and after a few steps sharp left to cart track, which leads into the forest. Follow Cart track for about 100 metres to a crossroads just before Hudičevski grabno, where you leave the path into the gorge of Hudičevski potok and continue to the left towards Pečovje or Marija or Bojanski grabno. Follow the marked forest trail until the next crossroads at the edge of the forest, where you join the Celjska Planinski Trail (CPP) to the right along the forest road coming from the route of Celje. After about 100 metres, you will come across a new crossroads, at which you leave the forest road and continue to the left down the cart track in the direction of Štor or Bojanski grabno. When you get all the way down to Bojanski grabno, at the crossroads continue sharp right along the Bojanski brook. Follow the marked path in the narrow gorge by the stream, but only until the next crossroads, where the path branches off to the left. Follow the signs, leave the Bojanski brook gorge and continue on a steeper ascent. Shortly after coming out of the forest, turn left onto the forest road, which leads at a gentle slope to Zarovice. After a few steps, we reach a saddle on the south side of Velika and Mali Bojanski vrh, where the path from Žlajfa joins us from the left. Continue sharp right on the asphalt, through a short stretch in the woods and through the courtyard of the homestead between the tower silo, the house and the barn. Then continue in the grassland, by a prominent tree and a cross, and again in the woodland. Soon on the ridge we reach a fork in the path between the Vrunec House on the left and the Mountain House on Svetina on the right. Continue to the right and after less than ten minutes of walking along the ridge you will reach Alma's home, or the Mountain Home on Svetina, from where you will have a wonderful view to the south of the beautiful village of Svetina and the surrounding hills. Just above the lodge is a peak called Ramanca (781 m), which also offers views to the north.
