Dom pod Reško planino - Črni vrh (Čemšeniška planina)

Access to starting point:
From the Prebold–Trbovlje road, in the settlement of Marija Reka we turn right (left from the direction of Trbovlje) onto a side road towards the mountain hut Dom pod Reško planino (at the junction there is a brown road sign saying "Pod Reško planino"). We then drive along an ascending and winding road to the mountain hut, or we can also continue one more hairpin turn to the parish church, where we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot near the mountain hut we head onto a marked footpath in the direction of Reška planina, Zajčeva koča and Sveta Planina (Partizanski vrh). At first we steeply ascend and after 5 minutes we arrive at the church of the Assumption of Mary, where we return to the asphalt road.
A little further from the church, where there is another parking lot, from a marked junction we continue left uphill along the asphalt road (straight uphill Reška planina), which begins to ascend transversely. Higher we arrive at the information board on the geological composition of the soil, where the road flattens. There follows a few minutes of traversing, then we arrive at a marked junction on the southwestern side of Reška planina.
We continue left downhill (right Reška planina along the ridge, Šmiglova zidanica, Grajska vas and Prebold).
There follows some occasional descent, where first we bypass Jamškov vrh (811 m) on the left, then Nacetov vrh (828 m) on the right, past individual homesteads we then arrive at a junction, where the path from Podmeja also joins.
We continue right uphill and proceed walking along a somewhat wider asphalt road, which leads us transversely across the northwestern slopes of the hill Šterbenkel, higher we also pass the ski slope, then we arrive at the slopes of the peak Javor. At several junctions we follow the main road, when we reach a somewhat larger junction by the NOB monument we go right (left Sveta Planina) and quickly arrive at the church of St. Lenart on Vrhe.
Some 10 meters further is also the former mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe, which has been closed for several years and is in private ownership.
From the former Planinski dom Vrhe we head onto a worse road in the direction of Čemšeniška planina. We walk along the road for a short time, then turn right onto a steeper cart track, which gradually enters the forest. Higher we also leave the wide cart track, as the signs for Čemšeniška planina direct us slightly right onto a path that almost completely flattens. There follows a few minutes of traversing, then the path turns slightly right and brings us out of the forest onto a panoramic slope. Here the path turns left and begins to descend across a moderately steep grassy slope. Lower we arrive at the Gunet homestead, where we also step onto the road.
When we step onto the road we continue right and after a few steps arrive at the next junction.
Here we continue straight and proceed along the road, which bypasses Gunetova glava (926 m) on the left side. On the other side of the mentioned peak we reach a panoramic saddle, the road turns left here, but we follow it only 100 m, then the signs for Čemšeniška planina direct us sharply right onto a cart track, which first crosses a strip of forest, then transversely brings us onto a panoramic slope, from which a nice view opens towards Krvavica. Here the cart track, along which we continue the ascent for some time, turns left, then gradually turns into a somewhat steeper footpath. Higher the footpath splits into two parts, and we can choose whether to continue along the quite steep and poorly maintained marked mountain path, or along the somewhat less steep parallel "Lojzova pot", which is newly built and marked with light-blue dots. Higher the two paths merge, the path gradually flattens and brings us to the edge of a steep ridge. We continue along the right gentler side of the ridge, which then flattens and descends to a junction at the logbook box.
Here we continue straight (right downhill Vransko) and then at the next junction, which is only a few steps further right (straight downhill Koča na Čemšeniški planini). The path ahead leads us past the site where the old hut stood and past the radio amateurs' hut. The peak, which we reach without difficulty, is located only a few steps above the mentioned radio amateurs' hut.
