Štore - Hotel Celjska koča (via Žlajfa and Tolsti vrh)

Access to starting point:
Štore is accessible ideally with the help of railways. 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 Štore railway station, where there are enough parking spaces 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. Head over Voglajna, where a signpost immediately directs you right and soon straight practically through the area of the old Štore ironworks. On the asphalt road continue in the lower part along Bojanski jarek to a new junction of the path, which directs you sharply to the left on asphalt surface higher up the hill to Žlajfa, where the road finally turns into a forest path that is solidly marked. The ascent is nice, alternating forest sections and meadow-pasture areas. From the left the mountain path from Štore through Šentjanž or Resevna joins us and after a shorter continuation through the forest you reach Almin dom na Svetini.
From Almin dom continue on the marked mountain path to Tolsti vrh, which you reach from the east side.
From Tolsti vrh descend on the western path to the upper part of the ski area/ski facilities. Continue again in the forest on a narrower forest path to a junction, where you turn right towards Celjska koča (left to Laško). The path is again somewhat wider and before the hunting lodge left downhill, along the artificial lake for the ski slope and after three or four turns of the narrower path in the conifer-rich forest descend to the road and a few more steps to the goal, Celjska koča.
