Planina pri Sevnici - Brest (Bohor) (northern path)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Sevnica (to here from Radeče, Mokronog or Krško), and then we go on the road in the direction of Planina pri Sevnici. When we get to Petrol gas station, which is located right next to Planina pri Sevnici, we turn right in the direction of company Montpreis and immediately after the crossroad we park on a larger asphalt parking lot by the cemetery.
B) We drive to Šentjur (to here from Celje, Štajerska highway exit Dramlje or Šmarje pri Jelšah), and then we follow the signs for Kozje and Planina pri Sevnici. At the end of Šentjur we go right in the direction of Planina pri Sevnici (slightly left - Kozje and Podsreda). Further, we are mostly ascending, and when the road flattens we on the right side we notice Petrol gas station, which is located right next to Planina pri Sevnici, and we go left in the direction of company Montpreis and then immediately after the crossroad we park on a parking lot by the cemetery.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we return to the main road and at the nearby crossroad, we go towards Sevnica. Approximately 20 minutes we are descending along the main road, from which beautiful views opening up on surrounding hills, and then we get to the settlement Stara Žaga, where blazes point us to the left on a side road. The path ahead ascends past few houses and we get to a marked crossing, where the marked path splits.
We continue on the road in the direction of Koča na Bohorju (right - Skalica), which at the end of the settlement becomes a macadam and brings us into the gorge of the stream Beli potok. Higher, the road makes two hairpin turns, and at the crossroad after the second hairpin turn we go left. For some time we are still ascending on the road, and when the road turns right, we continue left along a small stream, where on a short steep part we get help from a rope (greater danger of slipping is mainly in wet and if it is frozen). A little further, we get help from another rope, and then we diagonally ascend to the saddle north from Kamni vrh (833 meters), where we return on the road and where there is a marked crossing.
Sharp to the left a path branches off towards the partisan hospital, straight upwards the road continues towards Koča na Bohorju, and we continue on the left road which is further ascending diagonally towards the left. Further, we are for quite some time ascending diagonally through the forest, and here and there the road also descends a little, and occasionally also some view opens up towards the north. When we already go past peaks Mali and Veliki Koprivnik, Ostrvec we get to the northeastern slopes of Debeli vrh, where we join the path from Pilštanj and Kozje.
Here we go slightly right in the direction of Koča na Bohorju and we are still ascending diagonally towards the left. After few minutes of additional walking, we get to a marked crossing, which is situated on Brest.
