Planinski dom Vrhe - Javor

Access to starting point:
A) From Trbovlje or Zagorje ob Savi we drive to Čebine, and from there we continue driving towards Sveta planina. Above Čebine the road branches off sharply to the right towards Sveta planina / Partizanski vrh, and we continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe. The road then brings us to a junction by the NOB monument, and here we continue straight and then a little higher we park at a suitable spot by the church of St. Lenart, or a little higher on the parking lot at the mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe.
B) From the highway Ljubljana - Maribor we take the exit Šempeter and continue driving towards Prebold and later Trbovlje. We then follow the serpentine road to the pass Podmeja. From the pass the road starts descending towards Trbovlje, and we follow it to the sharp left turn. Here we continue right and further we follow the road towards the village Vrhe. We park on the parking lot at the mountain hut Planinski dom Vrhe, or by the nearby church of St. Lenart.

Route description:
From the mountain hut we first walk to the nearby church of St. Lenart and a little further to the junction at the NOB monument. Here we continue on the right road in the direction of Sveta planina / Partizanski vrh, and we walk on the road only about 10 steps, then on the left side we notice an unmarked cart track which first ascends parallel to the road, then turns to the left and after a few minutes of additional walking brings us out of the forest. The cart track then ascends transversely over the former ski slope, and we immediately leave it and continue the ascent to the right along the edge of the forest relatively steeply upwards. Higher we reach another cart track, which we follow to the right into the forest. The cart track soon turns to the left and quickly returns to the area where there used to be a ski slope. Through the bushes we ascend to the top of the old drag lift, from where the last view opens up to us, and the path then enters the forest, through which we ascend on a steep path to the summit.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, summit register
