Dom na Čreti - Tolsti vrh (Dobrovlje)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Celje we go to the exit Vransko. We continue driving on the old road in the direction of Ljubljana, but only to a spot, where the road towards Vransko branches off to the right. Further, we drive through Vransko and on the other side of the village we turn right in the direction of village Tešova and Ropasija. We then follow this mostly ascending road in the direction of marks mountain hut Dom na Čreti below which we also park on one of the smaller parking lots by the road.
From Mozirje we drive to Nazarje and we follow the road ahead towards Gornji Grad and Šmartno ob Dreti. Only a little after Lačja vas road in the direction of Čreta and Farbanca branches off to the left (turn-off is marked). The road which becomes a macadam and starts ascending, we then follow in the direction of Farbanca. Only few meters before hut Dom na Frabanci we continue left and we follow the road ahead in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Čreti below which we also park on one of the smaller parking lots by the road.
From Kamnik over mountain pass Črnivec we drive to Gornji Grad and follow the road ahead in the direction of village Bočna, Šmartno ob Dreti and Nazarje. Only a little after the village Pusto polje we notice a road which goes right in the direction of Čreta and Farbanca. Further follow the description from Mozirje.

Path description:
From the mountain hut Dom na Čreti on the road we return to the last crossroad and then we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of Vransko. On the mentioned road, we walk few minutes, and then we notice signposts for Tolsti vrh, which point us to the right into the forest (to here possible also with a car).
The path which goes into the forest already after few steps bypasses small wooden cottage and then it starts slightly ascending on a cart track. The path ahead for a short time ascends a little steeper and immediately and then it brings us to a crossing, where from the right side, the path from Farbanca joins.
We continue straight on a quite gently sloping path, which after few steps of walking, it brings us to a nice vantage point at big cross.
From the vantage point by which there are two pleasant benches a nice view opens up on Vransko and Posavsko hribovje.
We continue on a gently sloping path, which a little further for a short time steeply descends, and then crosses occasionally steeper slopes and then it brings us to a smaller hamlet (farm Rucgar), where we also come to the next crossing.
We continue right in the direction of Tolsti vrh and NOB monument (left saddle Lipa and Sveti Jošt) on a path which starts ascending diagonally on partly panoramic slope. Higher, the path turns to the right, goes into the forest and for a short time slightly descends. After few minutes of additional walking, the path on Tolsti vrh turns sharply left (straight NOB monument 15 minutes) and it starts gradually ascending steeper and steeper. This relatively well-marked path we then follow all the way to Tolsti vrh.
Only few steps below the summit a nice view opens up on Kamnik Savinja Alps, and also the path from Sveti Jošt joins.
