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 we follow the road for good 200m to the underpass under the railway track, behind which we park on a parking lot near the fire station in Zagrad.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the fire station, we go on a marked footpath in the direction of Celjska koča, which after a short ascent brings us on an asphalt road which we then follow for quite some time. When the asphalt road makes a right turn (by the cross), we leave it and we continue the ascent straight on a wide footpath which ascends by the edge of a meadow. In the upper part of the meadow, the path turns left and it brings us on the road which we follow to the right, but only to the spot, where a wide path towards Celjska koča and Grmada branches off left upwards (sharply left Grmada, steep path). The path higher again brings us on the road, where in a gentle descent runs past Trobiš beech tree. After few minutes of walk on the road, marked cart track branches off to the left upwards, which in a diagonal ascent soon brings us to the crossing. Here we continue straight on the path which soon brings us on the road which we follow few minutes to Celjska koča.
From the mountain hut, we continue on the left road in the direction of Svetina, which after 15 minutes of walking, it brings us to a crossing, where a path branches off sharply to the right upwards on Tolsti vrh. The path ahead ascends through the forest and in few minutes brings us above the quarry, which we bypass on the right side. A little further from the left side joins the path from Svetina. Next follows only few minutes of a moderate ascent to a vegetated peak.
