Teharje - Tolsti vrh above Celjska koča (via Srebotnik on CPP)

Access to the starting point:
Teharje has a rich history. They are first mentioned in written records in the 12th century. The local history is closely linked to the Counts of Celje, as the Teharcans acquired nobility. Today, Teharje is the seat of the eponymous local community, which is home to around a thousand inhabitants. The town lies on the right side of the river Voglajna, east of Celje, so the easiest access is by road from Celje. The starting point of our route is at the bridge over the Voglajna, and parking is possible in the nearby large parking lot next to the former guest house, just before the protected railway crossing and the aforementioned bridge, near the large industrial halls, in the area of the former Štore Ironworks.

Path description:
The first part of our excursion leads from the starting point along the marked mountain trail of the I. Celje Troop, which is looked after by PD Grmada Celje. At the starting point, there is a signpost pointing the way along the asphalt road that runs along the left bank of the Voglajna River. After about 700 metres of walking on the asphalt at the crossroads, turn right onto the macadam road into the forest. Leave the road at the memorial monument higher up and follow the forest path uphill. After leaving the forest higher up, you will arrive in Osenica, where you will have a view of Bavč and Grmada. Soon you will reach a crossroads where the Celjska planinska pot (CPP), leading from the route of Stary grad, joins from the right. Go around the meadow and continue along the asphalt road leading higher up to Pečovje. After about 900 metres of walking on the asphalt, leave the asphalt at a neatly marked trestle and continue to the right along the forest road. After 500 metres of pleasant views of the nearby hills, enter the forest, where the path leading from the starting point in Zvodne joins from the right. From the parking lot, it is a 1-hour walk, 3. 36 km distance, 167 metres ascent and 18 metres descent.
Continue straight ahead on the forest road. Soon the Barbara's path from the route of Štor joins us from the left. From here on, follow the signposts for Barbara's Path for some time, while leaving the Path of the I. Celjska čete. A little higher, when we have already passed two isolated farmhouses, a narrower forest path branches off to the left, which soon starts to climb a little more steeply. Before the crossroads below Marija, we are also helped by a few ropes, more as a fence than as a handhold. Leave the Barbara's path as the CPP markers direct us up to Srebotnik, where we continue towards the summit along the steep east ridge. The steepness eases in the last part of the route, and at the top of Srebotnik we are greeted by a magnificent view of practically all sides of the sky, a Slovenian flag, a bell, a registration book, a bench and a stamp.
From the summit, descend the western ridge and continue along the CPP. A little lower down, at a marked crossroads, turn left (straight down the ridge leads the path to Hudičev Gron). Continue descending via the southern access all the way to the saddle between Srebotnik and Ramanca. Here follow the signs for the CPP and follow the forest road to the right slightly downhill. A few hundred metres lower, you reach a new trail junction or Hudičevski brook, where the CPP trail to Tolstý vrh leads up to the left, and the unmarked trail to Bavč, Grmada, Hotel Celjska koča, etc. , branches off to the right. Continue left up the marked forest path, which slowly turns into cart track and then into a forest road. Higher up, you reach a crossroads where you join an asphalt road to the right in the direction of Tolstego vrh, which you follow for only 100 metres. Then leave the asphalt road and, following the signs, follow the short cart track through the forest and then the forest road. Further on, by the only homestead in this part, follow the path up through the meadow/pasture part and reach Tolsti vrh from the east. The viewpoint is another 50 metres further west, from where the southern and western Posavje hills are visible.
