Teharje - Mali Bojanski vrh (Pot I. Celjske čete)

Access to starting point:
Teharje have a rich history. They are first indirectly mentioned in written sources as early as the 12th century. Local history is closely connected with the Counts of Celje, because people from Teharje obtained ennoblement. Today Teharje is the seat of the eponymous local community, in which about a thousand inhabitants live. The settlement is located on the right side of the river Voglajna, east of Celje, therefore the access is easiest by road from Celje. The starting point of our path is located at the bridge over Voglajna, and parking is possible on the nearby large parking lot by the former inn, just before the secured railway crossing and the aforementioned bridge, near the large industrial halls, in the area of the former Štore Ironworks.

Path description:
The larger part of our trip initially leads from the starting point along the marked hiking path Pot I. Celjske čete, which is maintained by PD Grmada Celje. At the starting point there is a signpost that directs us along the asphalt road that runs along the left bank of the river Voglajna. After approximately 700 meters of walking on asphalt, at the junction we turn right onto the macadam road into the forest. At the memorial plaque higher up, we leave the road and continue on the forest path uphill. After exiting the forest, we arrive at the settlement Osenica, where a view opens up on Bavč and Grmada. Soon we arrive at a junction, from which the Celje Mountain Trail (CPP) joins us from the right, coming from the direction of Stari grad. We bypass the meadow and continue on the asphalt road that leads higher into Pečovje. After approximately 900 meters of walking on asphalt, at a neatly marked hayrack we leave it and continue to the right on the forest road. After 500 meters of pleasant views of the nearby hills, where our goal is located, we enter the forest, from which a path joins us from the right that leads from the starting point in Zvodno. To here from the parking lot: 1 hour of walking, 3.36 km distance, 167 meters ascent and 18 meters descent.
We continue straight on the forest road. Already after about 100 meters we encounter a new junction, where we leave the forest road and continue to the left downhill along the cart track in the direction of Štore or Bojanski graben. When we descend all the way to the graben, at the junction we continue sharply to the right along the Bojanski potok. We follow the marked path in the narrow gorge along the stream, but only to the next junction, where the path branches off to the left. We follow the blazes, leave the gorge of the Bojanski potok, and continue in a steeper ascent. Soon after emerging from the forest we join to the left onto the forest road, which with a gentle incline leads to Zaroviše. After a few steps we reach the saddle on the south side of Veliki and Mali Bojanski vrh, where a path joins us from the left from Žlajfa. Here Pot I. Celjske čete ends.
If we were to continue here towards the south uphill along the marked path, we could reach Planinski dom na Svetini, Vrunčev dom, Babni vrh or Tovsti vrh. However, we leave the marked path, and through (or past) the homestead along the saddle head towards Mali Bojanski vrh to the north. The path is clearly visible and narrows towards the summit. After 5 minutes we reach the rocky vegetated summit, where there is no view. For this pleasure we must exert ourselves a little further, good 100 meters along the northeastern ridge slightly downhill, until a window opens with a view of Štore, the nearby surroundings and the hills from Donačka gora in the east to Paški Kozjak in the north.
