Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Celje and follow the road ahead in the direction of Laško. Soon after Celje (still before Laško) left (at the traffic light) over the bridge, the road towards Celjska koča branches off. On the other side of the bridge over the river Savinja, we continue right and the road through the underpass under the railway track brings us in the village Zagrad. Further, we continue on the road which most of the time runs by the stream Ločnica and higher brings us in the village Zvodno. Further, the road turns left and it brings us to a crossroad, where we continue right. After additional 100m of driving left downwards road towards Štore branches off (possible also access from this side). We continue straight and then we park on a parking lot by the road.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road ahead, which past few houses brings us to a crossing, where we continue left in the direction of Barbarin pohod. We continue on a wide footpath, from which after few minutes of a moderate ascent path over Greben branches off to the left. Here we continue slightly right and the path gets very close forest road which we left few minutes ago. The path ahead leads us on the left side of the road and higher again comes on the mentioned road which meanwhile already changed into a cart track. We continue straight upwards in the direction of Srebotnik (left Svetina, Tolsti vrh and Celjska koča ) on the path which is steeper and steeper ascending. Already steep path, higher brings us on covered ridge, where it ascends even steeper. This steep and mainly in wet for slipping dangerous path we follow to the top of Srebotnik.
From the top, we continue on a very steep path (dangerous for slipping), which after few minutes of descent turns left and flattens. We continue on a quite overgrown slope, on the more and more wide path, which soon brings us on a rough forest road, where there is a crossing (left Štore, right Celjska koča). We continue straight on the path which only crosses the road and we ascend on a relatively steep cart track. After few minutes, the steepness decreases and the path runs over a panoramic slope, from which a view opens up on the nearby Tolsti vrh. Further, cart track again ascends and higher brings us to a crossing, where we continue slightly left through a meadow in the direction of Barbarin pohod. On the top of a meadow path brings us on a rough road, where we continue left. This road which is slightly ascending we follow to the mountain hut Almin dom na Svetini.
