Štore - Hotel Celjska koča (via Marija and over Tolsti vrh)

Access to starting point:
Štore accessible ideally with the help of a railway. On the road...you leave the highway in Celje and practically in the center of Celje go towards Štore or Šentjur. You park the car near the railway station Štore, where there is enough parking spots available and there is also the beginning of the marked mountain path.

Path description:
The beginning of the path is at the railway station in Štore. We go through Voglajna, where a signpost immediately points us to the right and then it goes soon straight practically through the area of old Štore iron works. On the asphalt road, we continue along Bojanski jarek to another crossing, where we continue straight, left path,,over Žlajfa,,. Soon the road turns sharply left a little uphill, at the sports field flattens again and behind some terraced houses we turn left on the forest road which passes into a forest path. Left the path through Bojanski ditch branches off and we continue right upward. From the right side soon joins the path from Celje and Teharje. We continue left on the forest road by two, three houses and then once again left on a forest path. Further, the path on Srebotnik branches off and soon after this we come to the chapel carved into a rocky wall.
From the chapel we continue upwards on a forest path and we follow the signs and signposts. On a larger grassy clearing there is a crossing, where we continue right towards Tolsti vrh, to the left there is path towards Svetina. The path passes into a wide forest road which we follow good hundred meters and we turn left in the direction towards Tolsti vrh on a narrower forest path. Further by the only homestead in this part of the path, we follow the path through the meadow/pasture part and from the east we reach Tolsti vrh.
From Tolsti vrh we descend on the western path to the upper part of the ski slope. We again continue in the forest on a narrower forest path to a crossing, where we go right towards the mountain hut Celjska koča (left - Laško). The path is again a little wider and before the hunting lodge we go left downwards, by the artificial lake and after three or four turns of a narrower path through a coniferous forest we descend on the road and few steps more to the destination, mountain hut Celjska koča.
