Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Maribor motorway we take the Žalec exit and continue driving towards Arja vas. At the intersection at the end of the village we drive straight in the direction of Liboje. We drive through the entire village of Liboje. From the sign for the end of the village Liboje we continue straight on the main road for about 1 kilometer. On the left side of the road we will notice a red mountain trail sign for Šmohor and Malič. At the sign we turn left onto a gravel road, which after less than 100 meters brings us to a small parking lot.
Route description:
From the parking lot we continue along the gravel road that leads towards the nearby house, but before it we reach the marked path that started where we left the asphalt road. We follow the marked path up to the right, initially along the edge of the meadow, then the path turns right and enters the forest, through which we ascend to a marked junction and intersection at an altitude of just under 500 meters.
We continue straight in the direction of Dom na Šmohorju (left Veliki Slomnik and Tremerje, right Gozdnik and Kotečnik).
The path leads us further along the mountain trail that continues to ascend through the forest and becomes increasingly steep. Higher up it levels out and brings us to a cart track, which we follow uphill. We walk along the cart track for a few minutes, then the markings direct us left onto a footpath that ascends to the next junction. Here we go right in the direction of Dom na Šmohorju, and from the left a path from Veliki Slomnik and Tremerje joins us.
Just a few steps further we reach a gravel road, which we follow in the direction of Dom na Šmohorju and Malič, then quickly turn left from it onto the path towards Malič (slightly left Laško, right Dom na Šmohorju, 5 minutes).
The path ahead returns to the forest and ascends parallel to the road, higher up there are also a few short descents, and occasionally we step onto the road for a short time.
At the paragliding launch site we finally leave the road, and we begin to ascend steeply along the wooded western ridge of Malič, such a path quickly brings us to the summit.

Discussion about the trip Liboje - Malič

We did this trip yesterday. Nice, not the easiest hike, good preparation for higher mountains. The steepness is quite nice and doesn't let up easily. Altogether 700 meters of elevation gain, up and down we walked two hours and three-quarters.

The trailhead is about 100 meters further ahead, where a gravel road branches off to the left. Then another 50 meters along it to the arranged parking lot on the right side. This way we avoid walking through the middle of the meadow.

At this parking lot today someone kindly warned me that it's better not to park here because some vandalism on cars has been observed. Apparently the owner is a bit psycho. On the pillar next to it says private property. I parked higher up along this road. A few meters further on from here there is a sign to the left for Malič and Smohor.

This "private property" sign is new in front of this meadow... It wasn't there until recently.

It's hard to see well.... but is this the parking along the road that goes past the quarry, behind the starting point for Kotecnik? That's where they warned me. This above looks very similar. I allow the possibility that I was wrong. These descriptions in this area always make it hard for me to find the starting point, luckily there are so many starting points that even if I miss the one described on hribi.net I don't get lost.
