Jelševica - Črni vrh (Čemšeniška planina)

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Maribor, we take the Trojane exit, then continue driving on the parallel old road towards Vransko. After approximately 1 km of driving from the place where we turned onto the old road, or more precisely just before the road goes under the highway, the road branches off to the right towards the nearby hamlet Zlokarje (at the crossroads there is a bus stop and a red mountain signpost with the inscription Čemšeniška planina and Limovce). We park at a suitable spot beside the side road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road along which we parked, and it quickly brings us to the hamlet Zlokarje, where at the houses we turn right onto a cart track. The cart track first leads through a panoramic grassy meadow, then turns slightly to the right and enters a dense forest. After a few minutes of ascent through the forest, we join a poorer road, which first along the edge of the forest and then across a meadow brings us to the nearby asphalt road. We follow the mentioned road to the left, and past the chapel it brings us to the village Limovce, where on one of the residential houses we notice a registration box with a logbook and a stamp.
From here in a gentle ascent we continue past a few more houses, then the road temporarily descends a little. There follows a few-minute traverse ascent across panoramic slopes, then we arrive at a smaller crossroads, where we continue right, but we follow the main road only 10 meters, then at the cross we turn left in the direction of Čemšeniška planina. We continue the ascent on a somewhat narrower road, which at the last house turns into a cart track, which then leads us across a panoramic meadow. On the other side of the meadow we step onto the marked junction at Ovčje jame.
From the crossroads we continue on the road towards the east (direction Čemšeniška planina) and walk along it to the edge of the forest, from there onto a marked footpath, which soon crosses a poorer forest road. Further we ascend through the forest for some time, then we reach a macadam road leading towards Prvine. We follow it to the left, after which after a few minutes we notice signs for Čemšeniška planina, which direct us sharply right onto a gently sloping cart track. After a few meters the cart track splits into two parts, and we choose the upper left cart track, which higher turns into a temporarily steeper mountain path. Higher we return to the road, and we walk along it to the parking lot at Prvine.
Here we bypass the nearby hotel D on the left side, and the road brings us to the ski slope of the Prvine ski area, from where a nice view opens up. Here we leave the road and continue the ascent slightly right onto a cart track, which ascends transversely across the ski area, then enters the forest, where it gradually turns into a wide path. There follows a few minutes of moderate ascent through the forest, then we reach a wide cart track, along which in a few steps of further walking we arrive at the marked junction.
Here we continue straight (sharply right and downhill Izlake, Čemšenik, Kisovec...) on the path which gradually turns along the edge of steep grassy slopes. We continue the ascent along the edge of panoramic slopes, from which a nice view opens up onto the surrounding areas and nearby hills. Higher the path levels out and turns onto steep slopes, across which we walk in a few minutes to the Koča na Čemšeniški planini.
