Jelševica - Črni vrh (Čemšeniška planina)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor, we go to the exit Trojane, and then we continue driving on the parallel old road towards Vransko. After approximately 1 km of driving from the spot, when we got on the old road, or more precisely just before the road goes below the highway, the road branches off to the right towards the nearby hamlet Zlokarje (by the crossroad there is a bus stop and a red mountain signpost with the caption Čemšeniška planina and Limovce). We park on an appropriate place by the side road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road by which we've parked, and it quickly brings us to a hamlet Zlokarje, where at the houses we turn right on a cart track. The cart track at first leads through a panoramic grassy meadow, and then turns slightly to the right and passes into a dense forest. After few minutes of ascent through the forest, we join a bad road which at first by the edge of the forest and then through a meadow brings us to the nearby asphalt road. We follow the mentioned road to the left, and past the chapel it brings us in the village Limovce, where on one of the residential houses, we notice an inscription box with an inscription book and a stamp.
From here in a gentle ascent, we continue past few more houses, and then the road for some time descends a little. Next follows few minutes of a diagonal ascent on panoramic slopes, and then we get to a smaller crossroad, where we continue right, but we follow the main road only 10 meters and then at the cross we turn left in the direction of Čemšeniška planina. We continue the ascent on a little narrower road which at the last house changes into a cart track, and then it leads us through a panoramic meadow. On the other side of the meadow, we step at the marked crossing on Ovčje jame.
From the crossroad, we continue on the road towards the east (direction Čemšeniška planina) and we walk there to the edge of the forest, and from there on a marked footpath which soon crosses a bad forest road. Further, we are for some time ascending through the forest and then we reach the macadam road which leads towards Prvine. We follow it to the left, whereupon after few minutes we notice signs for Čemšeniška planina, which point us sharply right on a gently sloping cart track. After few meters, the cart track splits into two parts, and we choose the upper left cart track, and higher it changes into for some time a steeper mountain path. Higher, we return on the road, and there we walk to the parking lot on Prvine.
Here on the left side we bypass the nearby hotel D, and the road brings us to the ski track of ski center Prvine, from where a beautiful view opens up. Here we leave the road and we continue the ascent slightly right, on a cart track which ascends diagonally through the ski slope, and then passes into the forest, where it gradually changes into a wide path. Next follows few minutes of a moderate ascent through the forest and then we reach a wide cart track, on which in few steps of additional walking, we get to a marked crossing.
Here we continue straight (sharply right and downwards Izlake, Čemšenik, Kisovec...) on the path which gradually passes by the edge of steep grassy slopes. We continue the ascent by the edge of panoramic slopes, from which a nice view opens up on surrounding places and nearby hills. Higher, the path flattens and passes on steep slopes, on which in few minutes we walk to the mountain hut Koča na Čemšeniški planini.
