Access to starting point:
In Celje we look for street Ljubljanska ulica, where at the crossroad at School for Horticulture and Visual Arts Celje we turn towards the industrial zone towards the south in the direction of Savinja (where there are companies Kameno, Sint, Mizar, Skladišče Lesnina etc.). We park by river Savinja on a parking lot opposite the large silos of construction company, 500 meters to the east from the hanging bridge over Savinja.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue along the left bank of Savinja towards 500 meters distant light blue hanging bridge towards the west. On the support column of the bridge we notice a blaze and arrow "Planinski dom Brnica". We cross river Savinja and we step on an asphalt road. The first part of the path runs on a marked path towards Brnica. At the first asphalt crossroad, we go straight, and then immediately after approx 10 meters we turn left on a meadow path. When we pass into the forest, we step on a macadam road. We still follow the blazes towards Brnica, we cross the stream Brniški potok, until we notice, that blazes for Brnica want to point us right from the road. Here we stop following the blazes, therefore we follow the macadam road straight. Few meters further we get to the crossing of a macadam road, where we continue left upwards. A little further, we continue past a lonely homestead on the left, where the road at the passage into the forest changes into a good cart track. All the time we stick to the cart track which on diverse terrain runs towards the saddle between Hom and Brnica, where there is situated homestead Oprešnikova domačija. Here our path joins the marked path Žerdonarjeva pot, where on a saddle we turn left and we go past the homestead. At another passage into the forest, we continue on the ridge of Hom in the direction of east, where signs point us on a marked footpath. After approx 100 meters we get to a crossing, where we continue left upwards on the ridge. Few minutes of walking and we are on the summit, where we get to new signposts, stamp, inscription book and bench. If we continue few 100 meters further on the ridge towards the east, we get also to a nice viewpoint with a nice bench.
