Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana - Maribor highway, take the Trojane exit, then continue driving on the parallel old road towards Vransko. After a few kilometers of descent, we will notice signs for Zaplanina, which direct us right onto a narrower local road. The road first crosses the stream, then brings us below the highway viaduct. Here is also the most appropriate place for parking. It is also possible to park higher on a suitable place by the road.
B) From the Maribor - Ljubljana highway, take the Vransko exit, then continue driving on the parallel old road towards Trojane. Still before the road starts to ascend more steeply, we will notice signs for Zaplanina, which direct us left onto a narrower local road. The road first crosses the stream, then brings us below the highway viaduct. Here is also the most appropriate place for parking. It is also possible to park higher on a suitable place by the road.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the asphalt road which first gently, then moderately ascends through the valley of the stream Zaplaninščica. The road further leads past a few houses, then we arrive at a smaller crossroad, where we continue on the left road. We continue on the asphalt road, and at the foot of Šmarni greben and with a view on Čemšeniška planina we ascend to the next crossroad. Here we continue straight towards the farm Podlesnik (right Zaplanina), and further a macadam road for some time leads through the forest. Already after a few minutes, the forest ends and the road turns to the right and brings us to the farm Podlesnik. Here the path leads us among houses (beware fierce dog!) and behind the first house on the left, it turns sharply to the left on a cart track which further ascends diagonally across the grassy slope. On a relatively well-marked cart track we ascend in 15 minutes to the nearby macadam road which we follow to the left. The path ahead leads past the sign which marks the beginning of the municipality Tabor, and we walk along it to the saddle Presedlje, where there is a chapel and on the tree next to it hiking directional signs.
Here we continue right (straight down Tabor, Krvavica and Zajčeva koča) and walk to the nearby NOB monument. At the monument or grave, the path which continues on the cart track turns slightly to the left and then ascends diagonally across the panoramic grassy slope. The marked path soon turns to the right and enters the forest, through which it quickly ascends to the next forest road. We follow the road to the left, then immediately after the barrier we continue on the upper right road, on which in a few minutes we ascend to the place where signs for Čemšeniška planina direct us sharply right onto a somewhat steeper footpath. The path ahead ascends through the forest and in a few long zigzags brings us to a marked junction below Črni vrh.
Here we continue right in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Čemšeniški planini (left Črni vrh 5 minutes) and continue the ascent on the path which ascends diagonally to the right. Higher, the path changes into a cart track, which gradually begins to descend. The path ahead brings us to the NOB monument, after which it begins to descend somewhat more steeply. We follow this path, which further moderately descends through the forest, all the way to the mountain hut Koča na Čemšeniški planini.
