Planinski dom Vrhe - Črni vrh (Čemšeniška planina)

Access to starting point:
A) From Trbovlje or Zagorje ob Savi we drive to Čebine, and from there we continue driving towards Sveta planina. Above Čebine the road branches off sharply to the right towards Sveta planina / Partizanski vrh, and we continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe. The road then brings us to a crossroad by NOB monument, and here we continue straight and then a little higher we park on an appropriate place by the church of St. Lenart, or a little higher on a parking lot at the mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe.
B) From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Šempeter and we continue driving towards Prebold and later Trbovlje. We then follow the zig-zag road to the mountain pass Podmeja. From the mountain pass the road starts descending towards Trbovlje, and we follow it to the sharp left turn. Here we continue right and further we follow the road towards the village Vrhe. We park on a parking lot at the mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe, or by nearby church of St. Lenart.

Path description:
From the mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe we go on a worse road in the direction of Čemšeniška planina. For a short time, we walk on the road, and then we turn right on a steeper cart track which gradually passes into the forest. Higher, we leave also a wide cart track, because signs for Čemšeniška planina point us slightly right on the path which almost entirely flattens. Next follows few minutes of crossing, and then the path turns slightly to the right and brings us out of the forest on a panoramic slope. Here the path turns left and starts descending on a moderately steep grassy slope. Lower, we get to homestead Gunet, where we also step on the road.
When we get to the road, we continue right and after few steps, we get to the next crossing.
Here we go straight and we continue on the road which on the left side bypasses Gunetova glava (926 meters). On the other side of the mentioned summit we reach a panoramic saddle, and the road here turns to the left, and we walk there only 100 meters and then signs for Čemšeniška planina point us sharply right on a cart track which at first crosses a lane of a forest and then for some time brings us on a panoramic slope, from which a nice view opens up towards Krvavica. Here the cart track on which we for some time continue turns to the left and then gradually changes into a little steeper footpath. The footpath higher splits into two parts, and we can choose if we will continue on a quite steep and poorly maintained marked hiking path, or on a little less steep parallel path "Lojzova pot", which is newly made and marked with light blue dots. Higher both paths join, and the path gradually flattens and brings us by the edge of a steep ridge. We continue on the right less steep side of the ridge which then flattens and descends to a crossing at the inscription box.
Here we continue straight (right downwards - Vransko) and then at the next crossing, which is situated only few steps further right (straight downwards - mountain hut Koča na Čemšeniški planini). The path ahead leads us past the spot, where used to be the old mountain hut and past the hut of amateur radio operators. The peak which we reach without problems is located only few steps above the mentioned hut of amateur radio operators.
