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 the path on Javor branches off to the right, and we continue on the road to the nearby crossroad. At the crossroad, we go right (left Sveta planina 5 minutes) and we continue on the road which is diagonally descending on at first still panoramic slope. The road then passes into the forest and it brings us to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of the mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe. Further on the left side we cross the slopes of the peak Javor, and then we get to a crossroad, in the middle of which there is NOB monument. Here we continue straight and past the church of St. Lenart in few minutes we walk to the mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe.
From the mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe we go on a worse road in the direction of Čemšeniška planina. For a short time, we walk on the road, and then we turn right on a steeper cart track which gradually passes into the forest. Higher, we leave also a wide cart track, because signs for Čemšeniška planina point us slightly right on the path which almost entirely flattens. Next follows few minutes of crossing, and then the path turns slightly to the right and brings us out of the forest on a panoramic slope. Here the path turns left and starts descending on a moderately steep grassy slope. Lower, we get to homestead Gunet, where we also step on the road.
When we get to the road, we continue right and after few steps, we get to the next crossing.
Here we go straight and we continue on the road which on the left side bypasses Gunetova glava (926 meters). On the other side of the mentioned summit we reach a panoramic saddle, and the road here turns to the left, and we walk there only 100 meters and then signs for Čemšeniška planina point us sharply right on a cart track which at first crosses a lane of a forest and then for some time brings us on a panoramic slope, from which a nice view opens up towards Krvavica. Here the cart track on which we for some time continue turns to the left and then gradually changes into a little steeper footpath. The footpath higher splits into two parts, and we can choose if we will continue on a quite steep and poorly maintained marked hiking path, or on a little less steep parallel path "Lojzova pot", which is newly made and marked with light blue dots. Higher both paths join, and the path gradually flattens and brings us by the edge of a steep ridge. We continue on the right less steep side of the ridge which then flattens and descends to a crossing at the inscription box.
Here we continue straight (right downwards - Vransko) and then at the next crossing, which is situated only few steps further again straight (right - Črni vrh 1 minute). The path ahead starts at first gently, and then moderately descending towards the mountain hut Koča na Čemšeniški planini, to which we come after 15 minutes of additional walking.
