Access to the starting point:
In Celje, find Ljubljanska Street, where at the crossroads by the Celje School of Horticulture and Visual Arts, turn south towards the Savinja Industrial Zone (where the Kameno, Sint, Mizar, Lesnina Warehouse, etc. companies are located). Park along the Savinja in the parking lot opposite the large silos of the construction company, 500 metres east of the suspension bridge over the Savinja.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the left bank of the Savinja towards the light blue suspension bridge 500 metres to the west. On the supporting pillar of the bridge you can see a marking and an arrow "Planinski dom Brnica". Cross the Savinja and get on the asphalt road. The first part of the trail follows the marked path to Brnica. At the first asphalted crossroads turn left up towards Petričko. The asphalt road is rough, but marked throughout. After about 1 km, leave the asphalt and continue right along the macadam road towards Petričko, once a very popular excursion point, but now a sad ruin. Turn right again onto the tarmac and head uphill past the shooting range and into the meadows. When the road has settled, leave the tarmac and continue right along the dirt road, which first gently descends and then continues along the gorge. After a while the dirt road starts to climb until it ends at a crossroads, where you continue straight on cart track. Continue past a lonely farmhouse and reach a crossroads where you turn right onto a steeper path through the woods. The path quickly leads to a saddle in the town of Lisce. Once out of the forest, continue a few steps to the left on the macadam and then immediately to the right on the asphalt, where a view opens up towards Veliki Slomnik and Malič. Here we now join the marked Žerdonerjeva trail, where the path leads us a good 100 metres along the asphalt road to the forest, where we leave the asphalt and turn left onto a well-trodden forest path. Continue along the southern slope of Homa with minimal ascent until you come to a direction sign where the trail branches off to the right steeply up towards the Homa ridge. Continue along the steep serpentine until you reach the ridge. There is a nice bench and a wonderful view towards Levac to the north. After a rest, we continue along the ridge towards the summit in a westerly direction. A few more minutes of walking and we are at the top, where we are greeted by new orientation boards, a stamp, a signing-in book and a bench.
