Path description:
The starting point of our path is at the very beginning of shopping center Velenjka, looking from the direction Celje towards Velenje, at the gas station Trebuša. We go over a small bridge and we turn left. We already from far see by the edge of the forest an information board. It describes musician Fran Korun Koželjski and shows course of three marked paths on Koželj.
We continue right into the forest. We follow yellow-green signs. We at first walk on a wide forest path towards the foot of the steepness and then towards the left we cross a slope. Steep path brings us on the ridge. We continue right, left leads the footpath on Mali Koželj.
From here steep zig-zag path on the ridge brings us to the highest point of Koželj, on 590 meters. After approximately 100 meters we get to tables and benches and box with an inscription book.
Here a wonderful view opens up on Velenje Castle, town Velenje and on hills, which surround it on the north and west. Especially stands out a view on Uršlja gora and Peca. The path from gas station Trebuša is the second most visited path on Koželj, but at the same time also the steepest.
