Access to starting point:
A) From the direction Trojne:
We follow the road signs in the direction of Zagorje ob Savi. When we come into the town, at the roundabout, we go towards the railway station. We follow the road to the traffic light, where we turn right towards the apartment buildings. We park on a large parking lot and go towards pizzeria Ašič.
B) From the direction Trbovlje or Litija:
We follow the road signs towards Zagorje ob Savi. We drive through a bridge over Sava into Zagorje ob Savi. We follow the main road to the traffic light, where we turn left towards the apartment buildings. We park on a large parking lot and go towards pizzeria Ašič.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go towards pizzeria Ašič. A large caption on the house, shows the location of this pizzeria. At the crossroad, we go straight upwards and we follow the road past houses. When we leave the houses behind us, at the crossroad we turn right upwards and we follow the road towards the hamlet Podstrana. When the asphalt road ends, we step on a cart track which in few steps brings us to a hamlet Podstrana. Again we step on an asphalt road, but only for a short time. We descend on the road downwards and we go on a macadam road which crosses the field. We follow this road all the way to bigger rock, which stands on the left side of the road. Just behind it we leave the road and we go right upwards on a forest path. We then follow the path, at all crossings (there aren't many of those) we continue straight. And when we come near the clearing, on which runs a power line, at the crossing we continue left. The path in few additional strides it brings us to a clearing, which we cross and we turn on the left path which starts ascending (straight leads the path towards Podkraj pri Zagorju). The forest path starts ascending steeply in zig-zags. The path is from here on very easy to follow, without crossings so we practically can't miss. The path is ascending, and when we come to the remains a structure (probably some bunker from the 2nd world war) the path turns upwards. A beaten path which ascends steeply we follow straight upwards all the way to Vrh, which is distant only few minutes. The forest path runs just by the forest border with a meadow and in few additional strides, we reach the peak.
