Teharje - Almin dom na Svetini (Pot I. Celjske čete)

Access to starting point:
Teharje have a rich history. They are first indirectly mentioned in written sources as early as the 12th century. Local history is closely connected with the Counts of Celje, because people from Teharje gained enrichment. Today Teharje is headquarters of the eponymous local community, in which live about thousand inhabitants. The settlement is located on the right side of the river Voglajna, east from Celje, therefore the access is easiest on the road from Celje. The starting point of our path is located at the bridge over Voglajna, and we can park on the nearby large parking lot by the former inn, just before the secured railway crossing and before the mentioned bridge, near the large industrial halls, at the area of ironworks Štore.

Path description:
Larger part our trip at first leads from the starting point on a marked hiking path Pot I. Celjske čete, which is managed by PD Grmada Celje. At the starting point, there is a signpost which points us along the asphalt road which runs by the left bank of river Voglajna. After approximately 700 meters of walking on the asphalt at the crossing we go to the right on a macadam road into the forest. At the memorial plaque higher, we leave the road and we continue on a forest path uphill. After getting out of the forest, we get to the settlement Osenica, where a view opens up on Bavč and Grmada. We soon get to a crossing, from where from the right joins Celje mountain trail (CPP), which leads from the direction castle Stari grad. We circumvent the meadow and we continue on the asphalt road which leads higher into Pečovje. After approximately 900 meters of walking on asphalt, at a well-marked hayrack we leave it and we continue to the right on the forest road. After 500 meters of pleasant views on the nearby hills, where there is also our destination, we step into the forest, where from the right joins the path which leads from the starting point in Zvodno. To here from the parking lot there is 1 hour of walking, 3.36 km distances, 167 meters of ascent and 18 meters of descent.
We continue straight on the forest road. Already after about 100 meters we get to another crossing, where we leave the forest road and we continue to the left downwards on a cart track in the direction of Štore or Bojanski graben. When we descend all the way to the ditch, at the crossing we continue sharply to the right along the stream Bojanski potok. We follow the marked path in a narrow gorge by the stream, but only to the next crossing, where the path branches off to the left. We follow the blazes, we leave the gorge of the stream Bojanski potok and we continue in a steeper ascent. Soon after we get out of the forest, we to the left join the forest road which on a gentle slope leads to Zaroviše. After few steps, we reach the saddle on the south side of Veliki and Mali Bojanski vrh, where from the left joins the path from Žlajfa. Here the path Pot I. Celjske čete ends.
We continue on a marked path Štore - Dom na Svetini which is managed by PD Železar Štore, sharply to the right on asphalt, through a short section in the forest and through a yard of a homestead between the tower silo, house and stable. Next follows continuation through a meadow part, by the distinct tree and a cross and again through the forest part. Soon on the ridge we reach a crossing between the mountain hut Vrunčev dom on the left and mountain hut Dom na Svetini on the right. We continue to the right and after a little less than ten minutes of walking on the ridge we reach Almin dom, or Planinski dom on Svetina, from where a breathtaking view opens up on the south side on beautiful village Svetina and surrounding hills. Just above the hut there is the peak with name Ramanca (781 meters), and from the nearby there is a nice view also towards the north.
