Trbovlje - Javor

Access to starting point:
From the regional road Hrastnik - Litija, at the traffic-light intersection on the periphery of Trbovlje we turn right or left if coming from the Ljubljana direction, and drive to the center of Trbovlje. We continue driving in the direction of Prebold, but follow the road only to Gornje Trbovlje, where at the traffic-light intersection we continue left on Cesta Tončke Čečeve, along which we then park on one of the parking areas (during working days, the parking areas are reserved for employees in nearby companies).

Route description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road by which we've parked, and then at the smaller crossroad at the chapel, we continue left on a narrow and ascending road (by the crossroad we notice signs for Sveta planina or Partizanski vrh). The road ahead leads past a few houses, and then passes on to grassy slopes, over which we ascend to the last house.
Behind the last house, we look for a marked cart track which further ascends along the edge of the forest. Higher, the moderately steep cart track passes into a belt of bushes, and then brings us to an abandoned house, behind which we step onto an asphalt road. We follow the mentioned road to the right, which quickly brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Sveta planina. Further, we ascend past a few houses, after which a path joins from the left that starts in the lower part of Trbovlje.
We continue on the increasingly panoramic road, which in the meantime has already lost its asphalt surface, and follow it to the "last" house in Planinska vas. We continue the ascent on a wide and well-marked cart track, which first leads along the edge of the forest and then, after bypassing a few houses on the right side, passes into a somewhat denser forest. Higher, the cart track brings us to the edge of extensive and steep grassy slopes, from which a nice view opens onto the western part of Posavsko hribovje. A little further ahead, the path turns sharply to the right and passes into dense forest, through which it ascends transversely. Higher, we step out of the forest again, where ahead of us we already see the church of St. Mary and a little further the inn Planina. From the inn we continue straight ahead (sharply right to the peak of Sveta planina 2 minutes) and descend along the road to a smaller crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Mrzlica (straight to Planinski dom Vrhe and Čemšeniška planina). We follow the paths toward Mrzlica or Podmeja only a few meters, after which the signs for Javor direct us left. We continue on an initially gentle cart track that continues across a panoramic grassy slope and soon begins to ascend steeply, splitting into two parts. We choose the right cart track, which ascends above the water reservoir, then on the left side look for a less trodden path, along which in a few minutes of ascent through the forest we climb to a solitary hut in the middle of the forest. From the hut we continue straight and along the less trodden path in a few minutes ascend to the forest-covered peak.
