Hayrack (Laška vas - Pečovje) - Mali Bojanski vrh (via Bojanski graben)

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 starting point of the path is at the new hayrack. A larger part of our path to the destination is marked and equipped with signposts to various peaks of Celje hills. Just the last part of the path runs on an unmarked footpath on the ridge of Mali Bojanski vrh.
At the crossroad at the hayrack in accordance with the signposts on Svetina via Marija we go on the asphalt road ahead in the direction of Pečovje. After approx 200 meters at the first crossroad we continue straight, and few steps ahead at the next crossroad we turn sharply left and a little uphill. An asphalt road at the sports field in the settlement Pečovje soon flattens again. Because of the starting point of the path Barbarina pot, we can at first follow the signs of this path. After three terraced houses, we turn left on the forest road which at the last homestead passes into a forest path. We soon get to a crossing, where straight upwards leads the path past Marija, while we continue left through the gorge of Bojanski graben directly by the stream. At the next crossing, we leave the stream and we continue left higher into a steeper ascent, after we get out of the forest, we join the forest road and we go left, where about 300 meters a little ahead on the saddle below Mali Bojanskim vrh in Zaroviši from the left joins the path via Žlajfa.
If we would continue towards the south on a marked path, we could come to the mountain hut Planinski dom na Svetini, Vrunčev dom or Tovsti vrh. But we leave the marked path, and through (or past) the homestead on the 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 make an effort also a little ahead, good 100 meters on northeastern ridge slightly downwards, until a view opens up on Štore, nearby surroundings and hills from Donačka gora on the east to Paški Kozjak on the north.
