A) From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Celje - center, and then we continue driving towards Laško and Zidani Most. When we come to Laško, at the traffic light opposite the gas station, we turn right in the direction of Spodnja and Zgornja Rečica and Huda Jama. We park on one of the parking lots near the fire station Laško.
B) From Zasavje or Posavje we drive to Zidani Most or Rimske Toplice, and then we continue driving towards Celje. When we come in Laško, signs for Spodnja and Zgornja Rečica and Huda Jama point us to the left. Here we continue left and then we park on one of the parking lots near the fire station Laško.

Path description:
By the fire station Laško we notice the beginning of the path which leads on Šmohor. The path at first leads past the fire station, and after few 10 meters we get to a smaller chapel, by which we notice hiking signposts. Here we continue on an ascending road in the direction of Šmohor, Kal and Mrzlica, and at the first crossing we follow it to the right and then after few meters we leave it because blazes point us to the left on a marked footpath which at first ascends on stairs. Above the houses, the path continues through a meadow, and at the power line pole it brings us on a grassy cart track. Ahead with a view on Laško and Hum we walk to the edge of the forest and then we continue past a religious symbol into a lane of a forest. For a short time, we are ascending by the edge of the forest and then we step on at first a macadam road, on which with nice views on Posavsko hribovje we ascend to the asphalt road. We follow the mentioned road to the right, and it quickly brings us to a smaller crossroad, where a road branches off to the right towards the farm Primož. Here we continue straight, and we follow the road to a smaller hamlet, where the asphalt ends. We continue on a marked macadam road (direction Šmohor), from which soon a cart track branches off to the left, which leads towards Šmohor. We continue the ascent on the mentioned cart track, and in a diagonal ascent on a relatively steep slope it quickly brings us to the next farm.
From the farm we continue on a cart track which ascends between grazing fences, and then passes into the forest and splits into two parts. We continue on the lower left cart track which only few minutes higher joins the macadam road which we follow to the left. From the road a view opens up a little towards Laško and surroundings, and then blazes point us to the right on an ascending cart track which soon entirely flattens, and then it crosses slopes towards the left. A little further, we for a short time join the asphalt road which runs on Šmohor, and we continue on a marked footpath which continues parallel with the mentioned road. A little higher at the bigger rock, the path to Malič branches off to the right (straight - mountain hut Dom na Šmohorju). Here we continue sharply right and we ascend on a relatively steep path on a steep slope. The path ahead is for some time ascending diagonally towards the right, and then turns slightly towards the left and joins the path from the mountain hut Dom na Šmohorju. Here we continue right, where we quickly get to a paragliding take off point. Further, the path steeply ascends and on with a forested western ridge of Malič, quickly brings us to the summit.
