Zgornja Rečica (cerkev bl. Antona Martina Slomška) - Dom na Šmohorju

Access to starting point:
We drive into Laško, and then at the traffic-light junction we drive in the direction of Spodnja Rečica. Further on, Laško ends, and we arrive in Spodnja Rečica, and later also in Zgornja Rečica, where we drive to the parking lot by the cemetery below the church of Blessed Anton Martin Slomšek.

Route description:
On the road by which we came to the starting point, we return a few minutes back, then we turn onto a side road by which there are signs for Šmohor. For a few minutes we ascend on the grassy part, then the road passes into the forest, where at a few crossroads we follow the blazes. We leave the asphalt road slightly below the farm Brezovar, where we turn right, then we ascend to the mentioned farm, where we continue through the yard; above the farm, the path passes into the forest and continues on a cart track. The cart track first ascends diagonally towards the right, then flattens and crosses some smaller streams, where the path becomes gradually more overgrown; a little further, it leaves the cart track and turns left onto a footpath by which the blazes continue, and for a few minutes it becomes entirely overgrown with tall grass, young bushes, and partly with blackberries.
The overgrown part we traverse in a diagonal ascent towards the right; the path becomes easier to pass when we reach a forested cart track, on which we continue to a meadow near the homestead Štitnikar, where we turn left towards signs for Šmohor. The path ahead leads us on a cart track that returns to the forest; at the first crossing, we go right, at the second straight, then signs for Šmohor direct us to the right, initially slightly downwards, onto a cart track that continues without significant changes in altitude, crossing the slopes towards the right. In the last part of the crossing, we walk on grassy terrain, and the farm which we reach in a few minutes we bypass on the lower right side.
At the farm, we also reach the road, to which, a little further, a path from the starting point in Spodnja Rečica joins from the right.
Here we continue straight, walking on the road to the first crossroad or junction from which we continue left (sharply left to the church of St. Mohor, straight to Malič and Laško), and we continue walking on the marked hiking path, which in three minutes of additional walking leads us to the mountain hut Dom na Šmohorju.
The description refers to the condition in February 2025, and the pictures are from various periods.
