Štore - Vrunčev dom na Svetini (via Kompole and Šentjanž)

Access to the starting point:
Štore ideally accessible with the help of Slovenian Railways. By road. . . leave the motorway in Celje and head towards Štore or Šentjur, practically in the centre of Celje. Park your car near the Štore railway station, where there are plenty of parking spaces and also the start of a marked mountain trail.

Path description:
The route starts at the railway station in Štore. Go via Voglajna, where a direction sign immediately directs you to the left a few tens of metres uphill. At the first building, turn immediately left and follow the mountain path through the forest directly above Voglajna. On leaving the forest in the village of Draga, follow the meadow path also directly above Voglajna and continue along the asphalt road to the bridge over the river Voglajna or the crossroads called Opoka. To the left over the bridge is the trail to Dramlje, Konjiška gora. . . , straight to Resevna, while we continue sharp right into the forest on a narrower forest trail, partly on the road to Kompole or St. Lovrenc.
At the crossroads we also reach the XIV. division path and after a few hundred metres we leave the forest and by the equestrian ranch we get on the asphalt connection and continue left in a moderate ascent by the sports ground and the tourist homestead. A gentle descent follows and soon you reach the centre of the village Kompole with the church Sveti Lovrenc and the branch school.
After the tour, continue downhill and slightly to the right to a barn with a marker. From the barn, follow the grassy cart track to the second hill between the dwelling house on the left and the outbuildings on the right, back on tarmac and up a few metres to a crossroads with an interesting chapel. At the crossroads, continue left along the tarmac road slightly downhill and then, passing a small farmhouse higher up on the left side of the barn, rejoin the woodland path.
The forest track continues alongside a babbling brook to a pasture, where you continue up the pasture cart track to a sadly poorly maintained chapel. From the chapel, continue alongside three or four farmsteads, uphill to the right on an asphalt surface which turns to gravel and shortly afterwards sharp left on a narrow forest track, which you follow, following the waymarks, until you reach the exit to the meadow/pasture part. The path turns into cart track and under the chapel, through the spacious courtyard of the farmhouse, the asphalt road Štore - Svetina is reached. Turn right downhill, but the first left turn is possible and after five minutes of pleasant walking you reach the 513 m high summit of Turn with the bell tower at the top, which is separated from the church of St. John the Baptist a little lower down. After the tour, walk downhill and continue right for about 200 metres to a left turn up a meadow path and continue along a forest road to another sharp left turn uphill. A pleasant path winds through the woods, and you cross a small clearing with a hunting bivouac and a steel cable a little higher up. Another stretch in the forest and soon you are out of the forest again at three or four at the weekend and you reach the Dobošek crossroads. Continue straight ahead and the trail from Resjo or Resevna joins from the left and at the chapel further on turn right up by the farmsteads and soon reach the destination of today's trail from Štor via Šentjanž. . .
