Podmeja - Javor

Access to starting point:

B) From Zasavje we at first drive to Trbovlje, and then we continue driving towards Prebold. When we come to mountain pass Podmeja, we park on a parking lot near the hunting lodge.

Path description:
From the mountain pass Podmeja, we go towards the west on a bad macadam road in the direction of Sveta planina. After few 10 strides, we leave the road and we continue on a cart track which is gently ascending through the forest. Higher, the cart track entirely flattens and from an indistinct ridge gradually passes on a shady side. Here, the marked cart track turns sharply right (badly marked) and it starts considerably descending. At the end of the descent, we step on a wide cart track, on which we in few steps walk to an asphalt road which we follow to the right. Ahead with a view on Kum and with the ascent past few houses, we ascend to a marked crossing, where we continue in the direction of "Sveta planina - pešpot (footpath)" (right - Sveta planina access with a car).
Further, we are for quite some time ascending on a gently sloping macadam road, whereupon we get to a smaller hamlet, where we continue sharply right and then immediately after the house left on an ascending cart track. The cart track at first leads through meadows, higher for a short time even descends a little and then brings us into a dense forest, where it starts ascending steeper. Higher, the path turns to the left and after few 10 strides of additional walking brings us to a religious symbol by which there stands a lonely house. Behind the house, the path again widens and past a trough with water brings us on ample grassy slopes, north from Sveta planina.
Here we go right in the direction towards the summit Javor (left - Sveta planina 5 minutes, slightly right on the road mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe) and we continue on at first a gentle cart track. The cart track which continues on a panoramic grassy slope quickly starts ascending steeply and splits into two parts. We choose the right cart track which ascends above the water storage, and then on the left side we look for a poorly beaten footpath, on which in few minutes of ascent through the forest, we ascend to a lonely cottage in the middle of the forest. From the cottage, we continue straight and on a poorly beaten footpath in few minutes we ascend on the forested peak.
