Spodnja Rečica - Tolsto

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Celje - center, and then we continue driving towards Laško and Zidani Most. When we come to Laško, at the traffic light opposite the gas station, we turn right in the direction of Spodnja and Zgornja Rečica and Huda Jama. Further, we drive on a somewhat narrower road, which we follow in a gentle to moderate ascent to the sports field in Spodnja Rečica, or almost to a crossroad, where the road to Huda Jama branches off to the left. At the starting point, there are no appropriate parking spots.
B) From Zasavje or Posavje we drive to Zidani Most or Rimske Toplice, and then we continue driving towards Celje. When we come to Laško, signs for Spodnja and Zgornja Rečica and Huda Jama point us to the left on a somewhat narrower road, which we follow in a gentle to moderate ascent to the sports field in Spodnja Rečica, or almost to a crossroad, where a road branches off to the left towards Huda Jama. At the starting point, there are no appropriate parking spots.

Path description:
Between the sports field and the crossroad, where the road to Huda Jama branches off to the left, we will notice a green sign of the Zlatorogova transverzala ponosa trail, which marks the beginning of the mountain path that leads to Šmohor. Near the green sign, we also notice trail blazes, which point us to the right on a paved road which ascends among some houses. For a short time, we walk on the road, and then blazes point us slightly to the right on a footpath which further ascends parallel with the road. On the forest path at the forks we carefully follow the blazes, and it soon brings us to a forest road which we only cross. For a short time we continue on a cart track, and then the arrow on a tree points sharply right on a footpath which for a short time steeply ascends through the forest. The path higher joins a wider cart track which we follow to a smaller hamlet, where we cross a wider macadam road.
We continue in the direction of the peak Tolsto and then we ascend by the edge of a panoramic slope, from which a nice view opens up on Govško brdo, Babe and Ostri vrh. The path then returns into the forest, through which it steeply ascends for a short time, and then it joins a cart track, which only a little higher brings us to a marked junction. Here we go left in the direction of the peak Tolsto (straight Šmohor) and we continue on a gradually increasingly steep cart track which is diagonally ascending across the slopes of the already mentioned summit. Higher the cart track narrows and gradually changes into a relatively steep mountain path, on which in good 10 minutes of additional walking we arrive at the forested peak.
