Planina pri Sevnici - Oslica (Bohor) (via Škofov travnik)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Sevnica (to here from Radeče, Mokronog or Krško), and then we head on the road in the direction of Planina pri Sevnici. When we get to the Petrol gas station, which is located right next to Planina pri Sevnici, we turn right in the direction of the company Montpreis and immediately after the crossroad we park on a larger asphalt parking lot by the cemetery.
B) We drive to Šentjur (to here from Celje, Štajerska highway exit Dramlje or Šmarje pri Jelšah), and then we follow the signs for Kozje and Planina pri Sevnici. At the end of Šentjur we go right in the direction of Planina pri Sevnici (slightly left - Kozje and Podsreda). Further on, we are mostly ascending, and when the road flattens and on the right side we notice the Petrol gas station, which is located right next to Planina pri Sevnici, we go left in the direction of the company Montpreis and then immediately after the crossroad we park on the parking lot by the cemetery.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we return to the main road and from the nearby crossroad we head towards Sevnica. We descend for approximately 20 minutes along the edge of the main road, from which beautiful views open up on the surrounding hills, and then we arrive at the settlement Stara Žaga, where the blazes direct us left onto a side road. The path ahead ascends past a few houses and we arrive at a marked junction, where the marked path splits.
We continue on the road in the direction of Koča na Bohorju (right Skalica), which at the end of the settlement becomes macadam and brings us into the gorge of Beli potok. Higher up the road makes two hairpins, and from the junction after the second hairpin we go left. For some time we still ascend on the road, and then, when the road turns right, we continue left along the stream, where a rope assists us on a short steep section (greater slipping hazard mainly in wet conditions and if frozen). A little further another rope assists us, and then we ascend transversely to the saddle north of Kamnega vrh (833 m), where we return to the road and where there is a marked junction.
Here a path branches sharply to the left towards Šentvid pri Planini, left along the road a path leads to the eastern part of Bohor, but we continue straight on the marked road in the direction of Koča na Bohorju. We continue on the macadam road, along which we walk to the first right bend, where we leave the road and continue slightly left onto the footpath (continuation along the road is also possible, and along the road we can also reach Lovski dom Bohor and the saddle between Veliki and Mali Javornik) and then at several smaller junctions we follow the blazes. Higher up we cross a cart track, then return to the macadam road. When a little further we reach the pass between Koprivnik on the left and Veliki Javornik on the right, we arrive at a marked junction.
We continue straight in the direction of Koča na Bohorju (left Koprivnik, right Veliki Javornik) and continue further on the road, which begins to descend; after a few minutes a path joins us from the left that leads over the summit of Koprivnik. Here too we continue straight and via the road we arrive at the next marked junction.
Here we go left in the direction of Pilštanj, Rudnica and Podsreda (straight Koča na Bohorju, right Petrova skala - both 1 to 2 minutes), where via a cart track we cross a grassy slope. Beyond the meadow the path enters the forest and continues on a cart track, where we follow the blazes. At a smaller pass we reach a marked junction, where we go slightly right in the direction of Podsreda (straight Debeli vrh). This is followed by traversing the southern to southeastern slopes of Debeli vrh, then we descend a little further and reach the junction at Brest.
From the junction we continue straight onto a gentle road in the direction of Podsreda (left Pilštanj, sharply right Plešivec and Bukovšica); when the wider road turns right and begins to descend, we continue straight onto a side road, which continues further without major changes in elevation. On the section where the road begins to descend, we continue right onto a cart track that ascends across a scenic grassy slope; when we arrive in the forest the cart track soon turns sharply right, then the path turns semicircularly to the left. A little further we leave the forest, but we continue left to the highest point of Oslica, which is located by a solitary tree.
