Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Žalec and then we drive towards Arja vas. At the crossroad at the end of the village, we continue straight in the direction of Liboje. In Liboje we turn left in the direction of Košnica pri Celju and we follow the road approx 850 meters to a large private parking lot and a yellow house by the crossroad, where a road branches off to the right, which leads towards organic farm Kralj. At this crossroad there are also self service stall of the mentioned farm and a cute signpost for organic farm Kralj. At the latter signpost there is also a signpost for Šmohor and Veliki Slomnik. We can park on an appropriate place near the described starting point.
Path description:
From the above described starting point (picture 1) we follow the signpost towards organic farm Kralj and Šmohor on the asphalt road slightly uphill. 350 meters before the described starting point, there is also an alternative starting point (picture 2) at the crossroad at the chapel, where on the tree there is also a signpost for Šmohor and Veliki Slomnik. Both paths from both starting points join on a macadam road approx 700 meters ahead. Weakness of the alternative starting point is, that nearby there isn't any convenient parking spot.
From the first starting point we further follow the asphalt road approx 200 meters to organic farm Kralj, and then we continue in the same direction on the macadam road which branches off towards the stream, which runs below the wall Libojska stena of Veliki Slomnik. The road at the last homestead before the stream passes into a footpath which runs just by the stream. And we soon step on a macadam road which is coming from the right from the direction of alternative starting point. And we go to the left in the direction of Šmohor. Further a macadam road passes into the arms of the forest. We continue to a crossing, where to the left leads the path towards Veliki Slomnik and to the right towards Šmohor.
We continue to the right in the direction of Šmohor slightly upwards in the arms of the forest. A marked path runs on the forest road right-left, the steepness is increasing, and here there past some lonely homestead or a holiday cottage. We soon get to a crossing, where from the left joins the path from Tremerje. We follow a still forest road upwards. When we get directly to the abandoned homestead, we turn through the yard, quite sharply right upwards and below another homestead and at the holiday cottage, where we step on a plain to a crossroad.
In accordance with the signs for "Šmohor" we continue sharply left upwards into the forest. We follow a pleasant mountain path, which in this part is very well marked, the path is diverse and not very strenuous. Further there is a short section through a grassy plain. After a short section through the forest, on the flat part of the path, joins also the other path from Liboje - from Podkoritnik. Few more strides and we step out of the forest. Before the macadam road which otherwise to the left leads to Malič, we go right a little downwards on a meadow in the direction of west. Then we go by the building which is under construction on the path, where a view opens up on Savinja side, then few more meters to a crossing of several paths and roads, a little more upwards through the forest and we reach the destination – mountain hut Dom na Šmohorju.
