Trbovlje - Koča na Čemšeniški planini

Access to starting point:
From the regional road Hrastnik - Litija, at the traffic-light intersection on the periphery of Trbovlje we turn right (or left if coming from the Ljubljana direction) and drive to the center of Trbovlje. We continue driving in the direction of Prebold, but we follow the road only to Gornje Trbovlje, where at the traffic-light intersection we continue left onto Cesta Tončke Čečeve, along which we then park on one of the parking areas (on working days, the parking areas are reserved for employees of nearby companies).

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road by which we have parked, then at the smaller crossroad by the chapel, we continue left on a narrow and ascending road (by the crossroad we notice signs for Sveta planina or Partizanski vrh). The road ahead leads past a few houses, then passes onto grassy slopes over which we ascend to the last house.
Behind the last house, we look for a marked cart track which further ascends along the edge of the forest. Higher, the moderately steep cart track passes into a belt of bushes, then brings us to an abandoned house, behind which we step onto an asphalt road. We follow the mentioned road to the right, which quickly brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Sveta planina. Further, we ascend past a few houses, then from the left a path joins which starts in the lower part of Trbovlje.
We continue on the increasingly panoramic road, which in the meantime has already lost its asphalt surface, and follow it to the "last" house in Planinska vas. We continue the ascent on a wide and well-marked cart track which first leads along the edge of the forest, then, after bypassing a few houses on the right side, passes into a somewhat denser forest. Higher, the cart track brings us to the edge of extensive and steep grassy slopes, from which a nice view opens onto the western part of Posavsko hribovje. A little further ahead, the path turns sharply to the right and passes into a dense forest, through which it ascends transversely. Higher, we step out of the forest again, where ahead of us we already see the church of Svete Marije and a little further the gostilna Planina. From the gostilna we continue straight (sharply right summit of Sveta planina 2 minutes) and descend along the road to a smaller crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of Čemšeniška planina (right Mrzlica and Podmeja). We continue along the road, which descends transversely across an initially still panoramic slope. The road then passes into the forest and brings us to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Planinski dom Vrhe. Further on, we cross the slopes of peak Javor on the left side, then arrive at a crossroad in the middle of which there is a NOB monument. Here we continue straight and past the church of sv. Lenart walk in a few minutes to Planinski dom Vrhe.
From Planinski dom Vrhe we head onto a poorer road in the direction of Čemšeniška planina. We walk along the road for a short time, then turn right onto a steeper cart track which gradually enters the forest. Higher, we also leave the wide cart track, as the signs for Čemšeniška planina direct us slightly right onto a path which almost completely levels out. A few minutes of traversing follow, then the path turns slightly right and brings us out of the forest onto a panoramic slope. Here the path turns left and begins to descend across a moderately steep grassy slope. Lower, we arrive at the Gunet homestead, where we also step onto the road.
When we step onto the road we continue right and after a few steps arrive at the next junction.
Here we continue straight and continue along the road which bypasses Gunetova glava (926 m) on the left side. On the other side of the mentioned peak we reach a panoramic saddle, where the road turns left, but we walk along it only another 100 m, then the signs for Čemšeniška planina direct us sharply right onto a cart track which first crosses a belt of forest, then transversely brings us onto a panoramic slope, from which a nice view opens towards Krvavica. Here the cart track, along which we continue the ascent for some time, turns left, then gradually changes into a somewhat steeper footpath. Higher, the footpath splits into two parts, and we have the choice of whether to continue along the quite steep and poorly maintained marked mountain path, or along the somewhat less steep parallel "Lojzova pot", which is newly built and marked with light blue dots. Higher, both paths join, the path gradually levels out and brings us to the edge of a steep ridge. We continue the path along the right gentler side of the ridge, which then levels out and descends to the junction at the logbook box.
Here we continue straight (right downhill Vransko) and then at the next junction, which is only a few steps further, again straight (right Črni vrh 1 minute). The path ahead first gently, then moderately descends towards Koča na Čemšeniški planini, to which we arrive after 15 minutes of further walking.
