Kozolec (Laška vas - Pečovje) - Vrunčev dom na Svetini (via Bojanski graben)

Access to starting point:
Hayrack "Laška vas - Pečovje" is an ideal starting point for hiking tours in the nearby hills. The hayrack was for a long time a characteristic of the gorge of the Bojanski potok stream between Pečovje and Laška vas, along which an asphalt road also runs. A few years ago, the hayrack owned by the farmer miserably decayed, so the Municipality of Štore, due to its recognizability, built a new one with the help of European funds with the purpose of preserving vernacular architecture. Next to the hayrack there is a large parking lot, where we can park our steel horse. We can drive to the starting point by car from Celje and Štore, following the signposts for Svetina. When we have already driven past the area of the old part of the ironworks in Štore, we leave the main road to Svetina and turn right onto the turn-off toward Pečovje. We continue on the narrow asphalt road for approx. 1 km and we are already at our hayrack. Alternatively, we can reach the starting point on foot, because the path from the Štore railway station to the hayrack is fully marked.

Route description:
The starting point of the path is at the new hayrack. At the crossroad at the hayrack, in accordance with the signpost to Svetina via Marija, we head along the asphalt road ahead in the direction of Pečovje. After approx. 200 meters, at the second crossroad, we continue sharply to the left and somewhat uphill. The asphalt road soon flattens again at the sports field in the Pečovje settlement. Here is the starting point of Barbarina pot, so for the first part of our trip we follow its signposts. After three terraced houses, we turn left onto the forest road, which passes by the last homestead into a forest path. Soon at the junction, we continue left onto the path that leads through Bojanski graben and leave Barbarina pot, which leads straight steeply uphill. We follow the marked path in the narrow gorge of the Bojanski potok stream, but only to the first junction, where the path branches off to the left. We follow the blazes, leave the gorge of the Bojanski potok stream, and continue in a steeper ascent. Soon after emerging from the forest, we join left onto the forest road, which leads with a gentle incline to Zaroviše. After a few steps, we reach the saddle on the south side of Veliki and Mali Bojanski vrh, where the path from Žlajfa joins from the left. We continue sharply right on the asphalt, through a short section in the forest and through the yard of a homestead between the tower silo, house, and stable. This is followed by continuation in the meadow section, past a prominent tree and cross, and again through the forest section. Soon on the ridge, we reach the path junction between Vrunčev dom on the left and Planinski dom na Svetini on the right. We continue sharply left; after a few steps uphill with views, we reach the asphalt road and the settlement of holiday cottages. Left of the path is Vrunčev dom, today the Lovski dom na Svetini.
