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, we at first walk to the nearby church of St. Lenart and a little further to the crossroad at NOB monument. Here we continue on the right road in the direction of Sveta planina / Partizanski vrh, and we walk on the road only few 10 strides, and then on the left side we notice an unmarked cart track which is at first ascending parallel with the road, and then turns to the left and after few minutes of additional walking comes out of the forest. The cart track then ascends diagonally over the former ski track, and we immediately leave it and we continue right by the edge of the forest relatively steeply upwards. Higher, we reach another cart track which we follow right into the forest. The cart track soon turns to the left and quickly returns to the area, where used to be a ski track. Through bushes we ascend to the top of the old ski lift, from where the last view opens up, and the path then passes into the forest, through which we ascend on a steep footpath to the top.
