Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Žalec and then we drive towards Arja vas. At the crossroad at the end of the village, we continue straight in the direction of Liboje. Soon after the sign that marks the end of the village Liboje we will notice by the road a mountain signpost for Liboje. Next, we drive a few hundred meters to a smaller parking lot by the road, where the footpath to Šmohor and Malič begins. The beginning of the footpath isn't marked (if we drove to water source Ramšak, we are already too far).
Route description:
From the starting point, we turn left onto a footpath that moderately ascends through a meadow. After a few minutes of ascent, the path crosses the macadam road, where we for the first time notice a mountain signpost for Šmohor. The path then ascends to the top of a meadow, after which the path goes into the forest and after an additional few minutes of walking it brings us to a forest road, where we continue straight upwards in the direction of Šmohor. The path, which still runs through the forest, is becoming increasingly steep. After a good half an hour of walking, the steepness decreases and the path brings us to a cart track. From the cart track soon signs for Šmohor point us to the left onto the path, which after the next short ascent brings us to the forest road, where we continue right towards Šmohor. After a few meters of a light descent a marked footpath to Malič branches off to the left (right, mountain hut Dom na Šmohorju 5 min). The path then goes into the forest and ascends parallel to the road. With some ascents and descents, the path brings us to a paragliding takeoff point. Further, the path steeply ascends and along the forested western ridge of Malič 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.
