Planinski dom Vrhe - Koča na Čemšeniški planini

Access to starting point:
A) From Trbovlje or Zagorje ob Savi we drive to Čebine, and from there we continue driving towards Sveta planina. Above Čebine the road branches off sharply to the right towards Sveta planina / Partizanski vrh, and we continue straight in the direction of Planinski dom Vrhe. The road then brings us to a junction by the NOB monument, and here we continue straight and then a little higher we park at a suitable place by the church of St. Lenart, or a little higher on the parking lot at Planinski dom Vrhe.
B) From the highway Ljubljana - Maribor we take the exit Šempeter and we continue driving towards Prebold and later Trbovlje. We then follow the serpentine road to the pass Podmeja. From the pass the road starts descending towards Trbovlje, and we follow it to the sharp left turn. Here we continue right and further we follow the road towards the village Vrhe. We park on the parking lot at Planinski dom Vrhe, or by the nearby church of St. Lenart.

Path description:
From Planinski dom Vrhe we go on a worse road in the direction of Čemšeniška planina. For a short time we walk on the road, then we turn right on a steeper cart track which gradually passes into the forest. Higher we leave also the wide cart track, because signs for Čemšeniška planina point us slightly right on the path which almost entirely flattens out. Next follows a few-minute traverse, then the path turns slightly right and brings us out of the forest onto a panoramic slope. Here the path turns left and starts descending across a moderately steep grassy slope. Lower we arrive at the homestead Gunet, where we also step onto the road.
When we step onto the road we continue right and after a few steps we arrive at the next junction.
Here we go straight and continue on the road which on the left side bypasses Gunetova glava (926 m). On the other side of the mentioned summit we reach a panoramic saddle, the road here turns left, we walk on it only 100 m, then signs for Čemšeniška planina point us sharply right onto a cart track which first crosses a strip of forest, then temporarily brings us onto a panoramic slope from which a nice view opens towards Krvavica. Here the cart track, along which we continue the ascent for some time, turns left, then gradually changes into a somewhat steeper footpath. The footpath higher splits into two parts, we have the choice whether to continue on the fairly steep and poorly maintained marked hiking path, or on the somewhat less steep parallel "Lojzova pot", which is newly made and marked with light-blue dots. Higher both paths join, the path gradually flattens and brings us to the edge of a steep ridge. We continue on the right gentler side of the ridge, which then flattens and descends to a junction at the logbook box.
Here we continue straight (right downwards Vransko) and then at the next junction, which is only a few steps further, again straight (right Črni vrh 1 minute). The path ahead first gently then moderately descends towards Koča na Čemšeniški planini, to which we arrive after 15 minutes of further walking.

On the way: Črni vrh (Čemšeniška planina) (1204m)
