Access to starting point:
A) Exit Dramlje on the highway and through Šentjur and Lesično to Kozje.
B) From the direction of Podčetrtek right in the settlement Prelasko through Buč to Kozje.
C) From the direction of Bistrica ob Sotli left in the settlement Prelasko through Buč to Kozje.
D) From the direction of Brestanica, Senovo and Podsreda to Kozje.
Kozje is the main settlement of Kozjansko and relatively easily accessible from several directions.
Route description:
After a short tour of the settlement Kozje, go from the center in the direction of Bistriški graben on the asphalt road to the turn-off to the left towards Vetrnik. In the part to the turn-off for Vetrnik the path is also Mary's pilgrimage path and marked with the signs of that path. The path higher towards Vetrnik is a well-hardened forest road which winds quite steeply higher and is easy to follow. When you reach the asphalt, which leads somewhere on the upper ridge, turn right and step also on the Zasavje long distance trail, which is additionally marked next to the markers with „Z“. Follow the signs and below the less known peaks Raskože, Pokojni vrh, Zajčja gorca and Vrh you pass on to the forest road. In the settlement Jelše from the left near the NOB monument a mountain path from Senovo through Reštanj joins. Continue steeply uphill on the forest road by the only homestead on this part of the path and soon after the turn-off towards Oslica you reach the 808 meters high Brest, where from the right a path from Lesično joins.
The path further is the common path of the Zasavje long distance trail and XIV. Division trail. To the hut on Bohor there is another half an hour of walking in the pleasant shelter of the forest and a gentle ascent.

Discussion about the trip Kozje - Koča na Bohorju (via Vetrnik)

The children have recovered; despite that, it took 3 years to finally arrive in Podčetrtku (see discussion
http://www.hribi.net/izlet/jablance_veliki_javornik_bohor_cez_koprivnik/25/888/1567
We started from pic. 8 and regretted not going at least to pic. 11 or 15, as it's just trudging on (hot) asphalt until there. So we only reached the hut, having walked at least 2 hours. The host from the farm at pic. 9 claimed it's at least 3 hours from Kozje to the hut, so Bruny, respect if you make it in 2 hours.
Nevertheless, we're happy for the new SPP stamp, and thanks to Bruny for the effort!

Well done and bravo especially for walking the path in this record hot July 2015. It really runs mostly exposed except in the final part. From picture 8 it's also the Zasavska planinska pot... but in this hot time it would really be more suitable from picture 15 onwards. A more suitable starting point in this time would be the settlement Lesično as it's less exposed to the sun, more typical mountain paths or at least forest roads, and somewhat closer to Podčetrtku. This path also has an official description and follows the route of the 14th Division. Yes, the host gave a more realistic time... 3 hours. Personally, my colleague and I walked this path in two hours and three quarters but we also visited all seven peaks along the way... Raskože, Pokojni vrh, Zajčja gorca, Vrh, Oslica, Brest and Debeli vrh. Oslica and Debeli vrh are quite a distance off the path, the others less so... From Kozje the distance is about ten kilometers. Two hours completely realistic for my walking pace. But this route is also very suitable for touring bike. Thanks for the praise... this was one of my first official path descriptions on the forum and I was still learning a bit.
I wish you many more paths completed safely in the future. Best regards

The road in picture No. 7 got asphalt surfacing last year.
As for the time estimate mentioned above, I think it could be about 3 hours. The trail is actually 12 km long…

Thanks for the warning. I have corrected it.
