Trojane - Črni vrh (Čemšeniška planina)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor, we go to the exit Trojane, and then we continue driving on the parallel old road towards Trojane and Domžale. Our starting point is located right next to catering company Gostinsko podjetje Trojane. We park somewhere nearby, parking in front of the catering company is only for guests.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the catering company Gostinsko podjetje Trojane, we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of Izlake. The road at first leads us on a panoramic ridge and then it gently descends to a hamlet V Zideh, where we leave the main road towards Izlake and we continue left in the direction of village Šentgotard. The road towards Šentgotard we follow only few meters and then signs for Čemšeniška planina point us to the right, on a marked footpath which already after few minutes returns on the road.
The road then brings us to Šentgotard, where on the left side we bypass the church of St. Gotard. And when the mentioned village ends, we get to the next crossroad. We continue right in the direction of Čemšenik, Dobrljevo and Brezje (left - Prvine and Limovce) and on the asphalt road we walk for few minutes, and then signs for Čemšeniška planina point us sharply left on a marked footpath. The footpath quickly widens into a cart track, on which we in few minutes ascend to a crossroad at Ovčje jame.
From the crossroad, we continue on the road towards the east (direction Čemšeniška planina) and we walk there to the edge of the forest, and from there on a marked footpath which soon crosses a bad forest road. Further, we are for some time ascending through the forest and then we reach the macadam road which leads towards Prvine. We follow it to the left, whereupon after few minutes we notice signs for Čemšeniška planina, which point us sharply right on a gently sloping cart track. After few meters, the cart track splits into two parts, and we choose the upper left cart track, and higher it changes into for some time a steeper mountain path. Higher, we return on the road, and there we walk to the parking lot on Prvine.
Here on the left side we bypass the nearby hotel D, and the road brings us to the ski track of ski center Prvine, from where a beautiful view opens up. Here we leave the road and we continue the ascent slightly right, on a cart track which ascends diagonally through the ski slope, and then passes into the forest, where it gradually changes into a wide path. Next follows few minutes of a moderate ascent through the forest and then we reach a wide cart track, on which in few steps of additional walking, we get to a marked crossing.
Here we continue straight (sharply right and downwards Izlake, Čemšenik, Kisovec...) on the path which gradually passes by the edge of steep grassy slopes. We continue the ascent by the edge of panoramic slopes, from which a nice view opens up on surrounding places and nearby hills. Higher, the path flattens and passes on steep slopes, on which in few minutes we walk to the mountain hut Koča na Čemšeniški planini.
From the mountain hut, we continue towards the east and we continue the ascent on a marked hiking path, which at first ascends by the edge of the panoramic slope, and then turns a little to the left and is then ascending through the forest. And a relatively gently sloping path, after 15 minutes of walking from the mountain hut brings us to the inscription box, which is situated few 10 meters below Črni vrh.
From the box, where there is also a marked crossing, we can in a minute of additional walking ascend on a forested peak.
