Zidani Most - Veliko Kozje

Access to starting point:
From Zasavje or Celje we drive to Zidani Most. In Zidani Most we cross the bridge, over the river Savinja and right after it, we turn sharply left (by the road we notice signs for Gašperjeva koča). This road which runs along Savinja we follow to the parking lot, which is situated only few meters before the railway crossing.
From Trebnje or Krško we drive to Sevnica and we follow the road ahead towards Zidani Most. In Zidani Most we don't cross the bridge over the river Savinja, but we continue straight on a narrow road between the railway and Savinja ahead. We park on a parking lot few meters before the railway crossing.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road which crosses the railway track and then brings us to a crossroad, where we continue on the right upper road in the direction of the mountain hut Gašperjeva koča. Only a little further, we get to another similar crossroad, where we again continue right upwards. The road which is getting worse then goes into the forest, where past the small ski slope in a moderate ascent brings us to the mountain hut Gašperjeva koča.
From the mountain hut, we continue upwards on a cart track in the direction of Veliko kozje. The cart track on which we are ascending after few steps we leave because blazes point us to the left on a footpath which ascends diagonally on a steep with forest vegetated slope. And in parts quite a steep path after a short ascent, it brings us to a nice vantage point from which a view opens up on Kum. Further, we continue on the path which is ascending on and by the side ridge of Veliko Kozje. A little higher, the path for few steps descends and turns right, where it crosses steep slopes (in snow dangerous for slipping and avalanche). Next follows a shorter ascent and the path brings us to a crossing, where we continue left (right - Radeče). Further, we are ascending on a moderately steep path, which after good 20 minutes brings us on Veliko Kozje.
