Access to starting point:
Štore accessible ideally with the help of a railway. On the road...you leave the highway in Celje and practically in the center of Celje go towards Štore or Šentjur. You park the car near the railway station Štore, where there is enough parking spots available and there is also the beginning of the marked mountain path.
Path description:
The beginning of the path is at the railway station in Štore. You go over Voglajna, where a signpost immediately points right and then it goes soon straight practically through the area of old Štore iron works. On the asphalt road you continue along Bojanski jarek to another crossing, which points sharply to the left on asphalt grounding higher uphill to Žlajfa, where the road finally passes into a forest path, which is well marked. The ascent is nice, forest parts and meadows are taking turns. From the left joins the mountain path from Štore through Šentjanž or Resevna and after a shorter continuation through the forest you reach the mountain hut Almin dom na Svetini.
From the mountain hut Almin dom we descend downwards to the first crossing and we continue left in the direction of Svetina. After a shorter sightseeing of the settlement, we continue on the path of XIV division by the cemetery (a grave of great traveler Alma Karlin, immediately left by the entrance) on the road in the direction of Kanjuce. At the larger homestead right on the road, also along the fence for horses we get to a wooden cross which is right by the road and we turn sharply right upwards on an asphalt towards the only homestead, which we bypass on the right side and then we go immediately straight on a forest path - good hundred meters to the top. The peak is the highest point, marked with a border stone. On the top there are also four larger distinct trees - beech trees. From the wooden cross past the homestead to the top the path isn't marked, but the path is logical and easy to follow. The peak doesn't have much of a view.
