Zvodno - Vrunčev dom na Svetini (via Bojanski graben)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Maribor highway, we take the Celje–center exit and continue driving in the direction of Laško and Zidani Most. The road leads us through the center of Celje, then before the Savinja brings us to a roundabout with a fountain. Here we continue "straight" over the first bridge (direction Laško and Zidani Most) and follow the road to the next traffic-light intersection, where we continue left over the second bridge across the Savinja. Immediately behind the bridge at the intersection we continue right. After approx. 500 meters we arrive at the underpass under the railway track (on the right side a large parking lot and starting point in Zagrad), we drive through it and continue straight past the fire station in Zagrad. We follow the road through the village, which higher up in Zvodno brings us to a smaller intersection by the bus stop, where we notice signs and signposts for Grmada right, Hudičev graben straight, parking lot 1.2 km straight. We continue straight to the new parking lot (2020), and the road gradually flattens and narrows. New parking lot—our starting point is located right by the road before the fish farm. Here we can park and set out on a hike along the paths that lead either through Bojanski graben, or past Marija, or through Hudičev graben, or through Suhi potok. We can also reach the starting point from Dolenjska and Zasavje. In this case, we first drive to Rimske Toplice and then through Laško to the above-described second bridge, from where we continue according to the description.

Path description:
From the starting point, signposts for Hudičev graben first direct us onto the road past the supporting wall back towards Celje, already after a few steps sharply to the left onto a cart track that leads into the forest. We follow the cart track for about 100 meters to the junction just before Hudičev graben, where we leave the path into the gorge of Hudičev potok stream and continue to the left towards Pečovje or. Marija or Bojanski graben. We follow the marked forest path all the way to the next junction at the edge of the forest, where we join to the right onto the Celje Mountain Trail (CPP) along the forest road coming from the direction of Celje. Already after about 100 meters we come to 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 Bojanski graben, at the junction we continue sharply to the right along Bojanski potok stream. 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 Bojanski potok stream 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 Zaroviš. After a few steps we reach the saddle on the south side of Veliki and Mali Bojanski vrh, where the path from Žlajfa joins from the left. We continue sharply right on asphalt, through a short section in the forest and through the yard of a homestead between the tower silo, house and stable. There follows continuation in the meadow section, past the prominent tree and cross and again through the forest section. Soon on the ridge we reach the junction of paths between Vrunčev dom on the left and Planinski dom na Svetini on the right. We continue sharply to the left, after a few steps uphill with views we reach the asphalt road and settlement of holiday cottages. Left of the path is Vrunčev dom, today the Hunting Lodge on Svetina.
