Šentvid pri Planini - Skalica (Bohor) (via Veliki Javornik)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Sevnica (to here from Radeče, Mokronog or Krško), and then we go on the road in the direction of Planina pri Sevnici. A little before Planina pri Sevnici we turn right into Doropolje, and a little higher we turn right and continue driving towards Šentvid pri Planini. After the church of St. Vid we turn right and then park in the parking lot by the Cultural Hall Šentvid pri Planini, or 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, we mostly ascend, and when the road flattens and we notice the Petrol gas station on the right side, located in close proximity to Planina pri Sevnici, we turn left at the nearby crossroad towards Sevnica (right to Planina pri Sevnici). Towards Sevnica we drive only a short time before turning left in the direction of Šentvid pri Planini. When we arrive in the settlement of Šentvid pri Planini, after the church of St. Vid we turn right and then park in the parking lot by the Cultural Hall Šentvid pri Planini, or the cemetery.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road which descends from the starting point towards the south, and lower we reach the saddle, which separates the streams Sevnična and Leniška, or the saddle, which separates Pečine from Bohor.
Here the road turns left, and before a smaller structure, which is situated near the house, we continue right on a cart track which passes into the forest. In the forest, after the first crossing, the first blazes appear, and at several subsequent crossings we follow the blazes, in the first part mostly ascending diagonally towards the right. Higher, the path turns slightly to the left and flattens, from the slope it temporarily brings us onto more level terrain, on which we walk to a small metal hunting observatory, where blazes direct us left onto a cart track which quickly passes onto a slope and then starts ascending diagonally towards the left. Next follows some diagonal ascent, and then the path flattens and brings us onto a poorer road, on which we continue to "Netopir", or Bohorska konjenica, where there is a marked crossing.
Here, to the left, the road leads towards the eastern part of Bohor, but we continue straight on the marked road in the direction of the cottage Koča na Bohorju (sharply right Žaga and Planina pri Sevnici). We continue on the macadam road, walking along it to the first right turn, where we leave the road and proceed slightly left onto a footpath (it is also possible to continue along the road, which can lead to cottage Lovski dom Bohor and the saddle between Veliki and Mali Javornik), then follow the blazes at a few smaller crossings. Higher up, we also cross a cart track, then return to the macadam road. When we reach the saddle between Koprivnik on the left and Veliki Javornik on the right a little further ahead, we arrive at a marked crossing.
We continue right in the direction towards Veliki Javornik (slightly left - Koprivnik, straight - Koča na Bohorju ) and we continue on a gently sloping road. After few minutes, at the turning point the road ends and we continue the ascent on a cart track which soon splits. We continue slightly right in the direction of Veliki Javornik (straight - Skalica - path which bypasses the peak of Javornik) and gradually we start ascending steeper, and at few crossings we follow the blazes. Higher, we leave the forest and in few steps we reach the highest point of Veliki Javornik.
From Veliki Javornik we go straight and we continue towards the southwest, where we walk by the edge of the forest. After a shorter gentle descent blazes point us left into the forest, through which we start steeply descending. Lower from the left joins also a little shorter path, which bypasses the peak Veliki Javornik, and we continue right and on a cart track we reach a macadam road.
We go slightly right towards Lisca and Skalica (left - Grmada, partisan hospital and Koča na Bohorju via Travni laz) and we continue on the road which is slowly ascending, and after few minutes it brings us to a crossroad, where we go right (the left road descends to the nearby settlements Zalog, Mrzla planina...) and in few steps we get to the saddle between Mali Javornik and Veliki Javornik. Here we go sharply left, on a side road, by which there are signs for Lisca, and we continue on a little narrower road which after the meadow, which we bypass on the bottom side changes into a cart track. The path ahead leads us on a cart track which is mostly lightly descending, and at the crossings we follow it in the direction of the blazes. After some time, we go also past a cross and we get to a marked crossing, where we go sharply right in the direction of Skalica and Planina pri Sevnici (left - Lisca).
Next follows some descent and we reach a small saddle east from Skalica, where the path towards Planina pri Sevnici continues right, and we continue straight towards Skalica, where we at first diagonally ascend on a short steep slope, and then we ascend on an indistinct ridge, on which in few minutes we reach the peak of Skalica, from which a view opens up a little.
The starting point - Veliki Javornik 2:00, Veliki Javornik - Skalica 1:00.
