Access to starting point:
From the road Prebold - Trbovlje, in the settlement Marija Reka we go right (from the direction Trbovlje left) on a side road in the direction of the mountain hut Dom pod Reško planino (at the crossroad there is a brown road sign with the caption "Pod Reško planino"). On an ascending and winding road we then drive to the mountain hut, or we can go also one more hairpin turn further to the parish church, where we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot near the mountain hut we go on a marked footpath in the direction of Reška planina, Zajčeva koča and Sveta Planina (Partizanski vrh). At first, we steeply ascend and after 5 minutes we get to the church of the Assumption of Mary, where we return on the asphalt road.
A little further from the church, where there is another parking lot, from a marked crossing we continue left upwards on the asphalt road (straight uphill Reška planina), which starts ascending diagonally. Higher, we get to the information board about geological soil compositions, where the road flattens. Next follows few minutes of crossing, and then we get to a marked crossing on the southwestern side of Reška planina.
We continue left downwards (right Reška planina on the ridge, vineyard cottage Šmiglova zidanica, Grajska vas and Prebold.
Next follows some of an occasional descent, where we at first on the left bypass Jamškov vrh (811 meters), and then on the right also Nacetov vrh (828 meters), and past individual homesteads we then get to a crossroad, where also the path from Podmeja joins.
We go right upwards and we continue walking on a little wider asphalt road which leads us diagonally on northwestern slopes of the hill Šterbenkel, higher we go also past the ski slope, and then we get to the slopes of the peak Javor. On some crossroads we follow the main road, and when we reach a little bigger crossroad at NOB monument we go right (left Sveta Planina) and we quickly get to the church of St. Lenart on Vrhe.
Few 10 meters further there is also a former mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe, which has been closed for some years and in is privately owned.
From the former mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe we go on a worse road in the direction of Čemšeniška planina. For a short time, we walk on the road, and then we turn right on a steeper cart track which gradually passes into the forest. Higher, we leave also a wide cart track, because signs for Čemšeniška planina point us slightly right on the path which almost entirely flattens. Next follows few minutes of crossing, and then the path turns slightly to the right and brings us out of the forest on a panoramic slope. Here the path turns left and starts descending on a moderately steep grassy slope. Lower, we get to homestead Gunet, where we also step on the road.
When we get to the road, we continue right and after few steps, we get to the next crossing.
Here we go straight and we continue on the road which on the left side bypasses Gunetova glava (926 meters). On the other side of the mentioned summit we reach a panoramic saddle, and the road here turns to the left, and we walk there only 100 meters and then signs for Čemšeniška planina point us sharply right on a cart track which at first crosses a lane of a forest and then for some time brings us on a panoramic slope, from which a nice view opens up towards Krvavica. Here the cart track on which we for some time continue turns to the left and then gradually changes into a little steeper footpath. The footpath higher splits into two parts, and we can choose if we will continue on a quite steep and poorly maintained marked hiking path, or on a little less steep parallel path "Lojzova pot", which is newly made and marked with light blue dots. Higher both paths join, and the path gradually flattens and brings us by the edge of a steep ridge. We continue on the right less steep side of the ridge which then flattens and descends to a crossing at the inscription box.
Here we continue straight (right downwards - Vransko) and then at the next crossing, which is situated only few steps further right (straight downwards - mountain hut Koča na Čemšeniški planini). The path ahead leads us past the spot, where used to be the old mountain hut and past the hut of amateur radio operators. The peak which we reach without problems is located only few steps above the mentioned hut of amateur radio operators.
The starting point - Vrhe 1:30, Vrhe - Črni vrh 1:30.
