Zidani Most - Gašperjeva koča below Veliko Kozje

Access to starting point:
From Celje, Zasavje or Sevnica, we drive to Zidani Most, where we park at the parking lot next to the railway station.
The parking lot is often fully occupied, so it is often more convenient to arrive at the starting point by train or bus.

Route description:
From the railway station in Zidani Most, we continue briefly along the road in the direction of Celje, then cross the bridge over the Savinja River towards Radeče and Sevnica and the mountain signs for Veliko Kozje. Immediately after the bridge, we turn left onto a narrow asphalt road that runs between the left bank of the Savinja and the railway line. We continue along the narrow road for a while, then reach the ecological island, where there used to be a gravel parking lot; today it is just an expanded area beside the road, not intended for long-term parking but only for the time needed to drop off waste. A little further on, we cross the double-track railway line and turn left on the other side.
Continuing along the narrower road, which soon forks, we take the right fork that gently ascends past a chapel to the next junction, where we turn right onto a gravel road marked for Gašperjeva koča pod Velikim Kozjem.
A bit further, we veer slightly right again, then continue the ascent along a meadow, or smaller village ski slope.
The road deteriorates further, and we follow it to Gašperjeva koča pod Velikim Kozjem, which has not been a mountain hut for several years.
