Griže - Dragov dom na Homu (direct path)

Access to starting point:
We leave Štajerska highway at exit Žalec, and then we follow the signs for Žalec. Through Žalec we follow the signs for Griže, which we reach soon after the bridge over the river Savinja. In Griže we go right in the direction of the cemetery, and we park at the parking lot opposite the parish church of St. Pankracij.

Path description:
From the parking lot opposite of the church we continue on the asphalt road upwards, and at the nearby crossroad, we go right in the direction of Hom and Šešče pri Preboldu. The path ahead leads us past two chapels, and then the road descends to a crossroad near the inn Gostišče pri Zibiki.
Here we continue straight (left - path on Hom via Zahom), where we go past the mentioned inn and few more houses, and when we get to the forest Griže ends. Little further we get to a crossroad, where signs for Hom and Pongrac number 17-28 point us to the left on a side road (straight - Hom via Lajnarjev hrib). Further, we walk through the forest, and we soon get to the next crossroad from which we continue straight or slightly left. Higher, the asphalt ends and after approximately 15 minutes of additional walking signs for the footpath point us slightly to the left upwards. A moderately steep path then leads us past a decaying structure, and then follows a shorter steep ascent. After few minutes of a diagonal ascent we get to the chapel, where the path flattens, and from the right joins the path via Lajnarjev hrib or path Brdarjeva pot from Matke and the path from Šešče pri Preboldu. We continue left, where further we walk on a less steep cart track, and when we leave the forest we get to a small saddle, where the path from the hamlet Zahom joins.
Here when looking to the right side, a nice view opens up, which in good visibility reaches all the way to Kamnik Savinja Alps, and we go past the nearby house and we continue on a steep macadam road which we follow all the way to the top of Hom, where there are church of St. Marija Magdalena and mountain hut Dragov dom na Homu.
