Access to starting point:
a) From the direction of the Ljubljana–Celje motorway:
From the Ljubljana–Celje motorway we take the Trojane exit, then continue in the direction of Zagorje. The road takes us through the V Zideh tunnel, after which we arrive at an intersection where the road branches off to the left upwards towards the village of Šentgotard. At the end of Šentgotard we arrive at an intersection, where we continue left in the direction of Prvine (right Čemšenik). A little further on we arrive at the next intersection, where we go right, again in the direction of Prvine (left Zaplanina). The road soon takes us to a new intersection, where we turn left towards Prvine (right Čemšenik). We follow this road, which continues past the hunting lodge, to the parking lot near the ski center at Prvine.
b) From the direction of Zagorje ob Savi:
From Zagorje we drive through Kisovec and Izlake towards Trojane, but only to the place where the road to Šentgotard branches off to the right. Here we turn right and ascend to Šentgotard, where at the end of the village we arrive at an intersection. We continue left in the direction of Prvine (right Čemšenik), then a little further we arrive at the next intersection, where we go right, again in the direction of Prvine (left Zaplanina). The road soon takes us to a new intersection, where we turn left towards Prvine (right Čemšenik). We follow this road, which continues past the hunting lodge, to the parking lot near the ski center at Prvine.
Route description:
From the parking lot at Prvine we bypass the nearby hotel on the left side, then the road takes us to the ski slope of the Prvine ski resort, from where a beautiful view opens up. Here we leave the road and continue the ascent slightly to the right onto a cart track. This ascends transversely across the ski slope, then enters the forest, where it gradually changes into a wide path. This is followed by a few minutes of moderate ascent through the forest, after which we reach a wide cart track, along which in a few steps we arrive at a marked junction.
Here we continue straight (sharp right and downhill lead the paths to Izlake, Čemšenik and Kisovec) along the path that gradually leads onto the edge of steep grassy slopes. The path's course along the edge offers us beautiful views of the surrounding places and the nearby hills. Higher up the path levels out and crosses steep slopes, over which we walk in a few minutes to the Koča na Čemšeniški planini.
From the hut we continue east along the marked mountain path, which first ascends along the edge of the scenic slope, then turns slightly to the left and continues ascending through the forest. This relatively gentle path takes us after 15 minutes of walking from the mountain hut to the registration box, which is located a few dozen meters below Črni vrh.
From the box, at which there is also a marked junction, we can in one minute of further walking ascend to the summit covered with forest.

The man behind the bar at the hut on Čemšeniška planina is "freh", insane. We know that all hikers in the hut are equal, even those who bring their own snack. Isn't there a more friendly person!!!!! Maria

I was always satisfied with the service in the hut. The path is also nice and short, so it's suitable even for those with less fitness.

Of course, when you ate their food. We bring our own because food in huts is really very, very expensive. For our 5-member family, 30 euros just for stew without bread is a big bite. It is expensive, so we were probably in the caretaker's way. LP Maria

Beautiful spring excursion. Not at all strenuous walk through the forest, enlivened by nearby birdsong and scenic terraces on hayfields right below the hut.
Comments regarding the "mood" of the caretaker are quite appropriate. With a bit of good will, many problems would be solved. But "panic" is present already with modestly occupied all six tables in the hut (2 hikers per table)!????
Prices. Disaster. Turkish coffee - 2 EUR, without receipt of course!!!
All problems are solvable, right?? We jumped in to help with serving and with good will and mountaineering optimism infected the other waiting ones......The accordion player, due to frozen hands, swapped the windy concert stage in front of the hut and moved indoors......we even danced.
May your excursion be as nice as ours was, on Sunday, 6. 4. 2008.
Nadka, Kamnik

A nice May day lured me to Čemšeniška planina. I must admit that the service in the hut was really very friendly, even though I didn't eat their food. Special praise goes to the slightly older lady who served at the bar!
Otherwise, the path is really not steep and I recommend it also to those with a bit less fitness.

Yes, on Saturday when it was snowing there were quite a few of us in the hut, Sunday was sunny, and there were even more visitors than on Saturday, which is proof of the hut keeper Helena, that she also takes care of us, when I met her on Sunday carrying such a big backpack from Prvine to the mountain pasture. Thank you Helena, may your health serve you for a long time.

On Čemšeniška the first "čemaž" has already appeared. Information for those who like to pick it, make pesto from it, various spreads and cook soups.

Tomorrow we'd head to Črni vrh. What are the conditions? Is the hut open? Tomorrow should hold without rain...
Best regards!

With the group we set off today to Čemšeniška planina from Prvine direction.
According to PZS info the hut should have been open. But unfortunately it wasn't and to our great disappointment we had to push on hungry and freezing.
Obviously the info on open huts on PZS pages is outdated!

Yesterday I was at Čemšeniška planina and Črni vrh. The hut is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. There were quite a few people. Through the forest it's snowy but not icy. From the saddle to the hut it's muddy-wet. First calves have already been born along the path. NO STAMP at the top of Črni vrh.
Different caretakers in the hut than last year. They are friendly and communicative-young. Food as always good and tasty, and prices not high
2x schnapps and 2x tea costs 4 euros. Weather was sunny and a bit windy. View along the path to nearby peaks was fantastic.

@nadjau
those who inquire beforehand about prices (price list, menu or don't spare the tongue) know how to get quite significant discounts in taverns and mountain posts. The prices in price lists and menus are already written with that discount. Specifically for the Turkish coffee you mention, the discount on Čemšeniška planina is as much as 50%.

Oops. It must be true: "Who spares the tongue, starves for bread". Apparently the staff has changed in these three years too, right?

Unfortunately, I don't know if anything has changed because I was there for the first time this weekend.

Yesterday my colleague and I were at Koča on Čemšeniška planina. There is no talk of any arrogant waitresses, prices are also reasonable; 2 Radlers and 2 Medicos, total 9€. A cool young lady about 25 years old served us.

Today with school kids (mountaineering club) on Čemšeniška planina and then to the summit, where they want to build a lookout tower. Weather excellent, great views, just above the starting point Grintovec was visible in all its beauty. Food in the hut really tasty, all praise to the kitchen! Not to mention the strudel... Friendly staff, in short, a beautiful autumn excursion. Val.

Beautiful autumn day up there.
Fantastic views, especially at the bench a bit below the hut. On the summit section trees are already leafless, surprisingly quick given temperatures. Probably dry spell and wind taking effect.
At the hut they're digging a hole for cistern so it's quite churned up. Same below at start where they're felling and hauling timber.
Also note if you want circular tour via Črni vrh and descend towards Vransko then at one bend turn onto unmarked path crossing northern slopes of Čemšeniška planina it's good if you find it :-) I didn't so descended to lower road to Blodnik then half hour more up to start at hotel.

I recorded the video 3 days ago. I recommend the hike, nice winter tour ❄️
The road to Prvine was icy in the gravel section, but properly gritted and I had no problems. Past the frolicking children on the ski slope, I set off on an enjoyable, easy, this time solitary path. I didn't meet anyone, except one gentleman overtook me while I was filming, a little below the summit.
The markings are new. For someone who hasn't been to Čemšeniška yet, I'd mention that the logbook box and stamp are below the summit, on one tree where the path continues in another direction. I filmed that in the video. The actual summit is behind, behind the radio amateur hut, marked with a larger cairn.
Best regards, Nina
