Koželj

Description of mountain:
The Koželj hill lies in the southeastern part of the Šaleška dolina valley and is the closest hill to the town of Velenje and a popular local recreational spot. It is visited daily by many locals in all seasons.

The hill has an elongated shape with three peaks: Veliki Koželj (580 m), Koželj (590 m) and Mali Koželj (501 m).

Near the highest point of the hill, at 580 m, there are tables and benches as well as a box with a summit logbook.

There are three marked trails leading across Koželj: the Family Trail, the Music Trail dedicated to the music teacher and composer Fran Korun Koželjski, and the Koželj Mountain Trail, which is part of the Šaleška Mountain Trail.

Anyone reaching the summit is rewarded with a magnificent view of Velenje Castle, the Velenje Basin and the hills surrounding it to the north and west. On clear days the view extends to Pohorje, Uršlja gora, Peca and Smrekovec.
