Access to starting point:
Hayrack "Laška vas - Pečovje" is an ideal starting point for mountaineering tours on the nearby hills. Hayrack was for a long time a characteristic of the gorge of the stream Bojanski potok between Pečovje and Laška vas, through which runs also an asphalted road. Few years back the hayrack owned by the farmer miserably decayed, but the municipality Štore because of the recognisability made a new one with the help of European funds with a purpose to preserve vernacular architecture. Next to the hayrack there is a large parking lot, where we can park our vehicle.
So to the starting point, we can get with a car from Celje and Štore, where we follow signposts for Svetina. When we already get past the area of the old part of iron works in Štore, we leave the main road to Svetina and at the turn-off we turn right towards Pečovje or Laška vas. We continue on a narrow asphalt road for approx 1 km and we are already at the hayrack. Or we can get to the starting point also on foot, because the path from the railway station Štore to the hayrack is marked.
Path description:
The beginning of the path is at the new hayrack.
At the crossroad at the hayrack in accordance with the signposts we go on the asphalt road higher uphill to Žlajfa, where the road passes into a forest path, which is well marked. Ascent through the forest is nice, it runs through a moderately steep groove between Mali Bojanskim vrh on the left and Veliki Bojanski vrh on the right. When we come out of the forest on a meadow between the both peaks, a little higher we step on a macadam road in Zaroviši, where from the left comes the path from Šentjanž, and from the right from Bojanski graben. If here we continue straight upwards towards the south on a marked path, we would come to the mountain hut Planinski dom na Svetini, Vrunčev dom or Tovsti vrh. And at this spot we will unexpected turned back, leave the marked path, and through (or past) the homestead on a saddle we go towards Mali Bojanski vrh towards the north. The path is clearly visible and towards the top it is getting narrower. After 5 minutes we come on a rocky vegetated peak, where there isn't any view. For this pleasure we have to go a little ahead, good 100 meters on the northeastern ridge slightly downwards, until a window with a view opens up on Štore, nearby surroundings and hills from Donačka gora on the east to Paški Kozjak on the north.
