Šešče pri Preboldu - Dragov dom na Homu (Brdovska pot)

Access to starting point:
We leave the Štajerska motorway at the Šempeter exit and then follow the signs for Šempeter. From the center of Šempeter in the Savinjska Valley at the traffic-light intersection we turn right towards Šešče pri Preboldu. When Šempeter ends we follow the main road or the signs for Šešče or Matke. After crossing the Savinja River we arrive at the settlement Šešče pri Preboldu, where we go right towards Matke and Sv. Lovrenc (left Griže), a few meters ahead left towards Matke. We drive a few hundred meters further, and then we arrive at Dom kulture Šešče, the Šešče fire station and the store, where the described path begins. We park in an appropriate place by the mentioned facilities.

Route description:
From the starting point, we head to the right road (left leads a somewhat shorter path to Hom), where we walk on the asphalt road towards Matke. Šešče pri Preboldu ends after a few minutes, after the bridge over the Kolja stream we join the road from Sv. Lovrenc. After a short ascent, some descent follows; when we arrive at the chapel, the signs for Hom and Brdovska pot direct us left onto a side road.
After the smaller bridge, we continue straight ahead, a little further slightly right. This is followed by some more ascent past a few houses; at the IPO company, the road we continue on turns sharply left (on some maps it shows going straight ahead onto a cart track here). A few steps further we go right and ascend to the edge of the forest, where the asphalt road ends.
Here we continue left on the marked path, which initially continues along the edge of the forest; once we enter the forest, the path becomes better trodden. Higher up the path narrows; a few minutes higher we join the somewhat shorter path from Šešče and one of the paths from Griže.
We continue right, past the 300-year-old tree we arrive at the chapel, where we join the direct path from Griže.
We continue straight ahead, where further on we walk on a gentler cart track; when we leave the forest we arrive at a small saddle, where the path from the hamlet Zahom also joins.
Here, looking to the right, a beautiful view opens up, which on a clear day reaches all the way to the Kamniško-Savinjske Alps, and we continue past the nearby house and on the steep gravel road, which we follow all the way to the top of Hom, where the church of St. Mary Magdalene and the Dragov dom na Homu hut stand.
