Zagrad - Vipota

Access to starting point:
a) From the Maribor - Ljubljana highway, we take the Celje Center exit towards Laško or Zidani Most. First, we go over the first bridge directly below the center of Celje over the river Savinja. A little lower in the settlement Polule, at the traffic-light-controlled intersection, we turn left over a bridge over the Savinja and immediately after the bridge, at the intersection, turn right. Just before the underpass for Zagrad we park on a parking lot on the right.
b) From the direction of Zidani Most or Laško, we turn right at the traffic-light-controlled intersection in Polule and continue to the parking lot as described above.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue to the intersection, left for Zagrad/underpass and we follow right or straight on the asphalt road in the direction of Tremerje, direction sign. After a few hundred meters we turn left and under the railway underpass we immediately ascend through Pečovnik along the riverbed of the stream. Up to an altitude of around three hundred meters there is asphalt and further right onto the forest path, inscription on the tree Vipota and soon to one of the highest trees in Slovenia, around 50 meters high Douglas fir.
