Podmeja - Planinski dom Vrhe

B) From Zasavje we at first drive to Trbovlje, and then we continue driving towards Prebold. When we come to mountain pass Podmeja, we park on a parking lot near the hunting lodge.

Path description:
From the mountain pass Podmeja, we go towards the west on a bad macadam road in the direction of Sveta planina. After few 10 strides, we leave the road and we continue on a cart track which is gently ascending through the forest. Higher, the cart track entirely flattens and from an indistinct ridge gradually passes on a shady side. Here, the marked cart track turns sharply right (badly marked) and it starts considerably descending. At the end of the descent, we step on a wide cart track, on which we in few steps walk to an asphalt road which we follow to the right. Ahead with a view on Kum and with the ascent past few houses, we ascend to a marked crossing, where we continue in the direction of "Sveta planina - pešpot (footpath)" (right - Sveta planina access with a car).
Further, we are for quite some time ascending on a gently sloping macadam road, whereupon we get to a smaller hamlet, where we continue sharply right and then immediately after the house left on an ascending cart track. The cart track at first leads through meadows, higher for a short time even descends a little and then brings us into a dense forest, where it starts ascending steeper. Higher, the path turns to the left and after few 10 strides of additional walking brings us to a religious symbol by which there stands a lonely house. Behind the house, the path again widens and past a trough with water brings us on ample grassy slopes, north from Sveta planina.
Here the path on Javor branches off to the right, and we continue on the road to the nearby crossroad. At the crossroad, we go right (left Sveta planina 5 minutes) and we continue on the road which is diagonally descending on at first still panoramic slope. The road then passes into the forest and it brings us to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of the mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe. Further on the left side we cross the slopes of the peak Javor, and then we get to a crossroad, in the middle of which there is NOB monument. Here we continue straight and past the church of St. Lenart in few minutes we walk to the mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe.
