Trbovlje - Mrzlica

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 we come from the Ljubljana direction, and drive to the center of Trbovlje. We continue driving in the direction of Prebold, but we follow the road only to Gornje Trbovlje, where at the traffic-light intersection we continue sharply right. Immediately after the intersection, we come to a marked parking lot, where we park.

Route description:
At the end of the parking lot, signs for Mrzlica direct us left onto a somewhat narrower and ascending road; we ascend it for only a few steps, then on the left side we notice a mountain path that bypasses a few houses. The path higher returns to the asphalt road, which, with a view of Kum and Trbovlje, after a while brings us to a smaller intersection, where we continue right onto a macadam road. We follow the mentioned road for only a few steps, then the blazes direct us left onto a footpath that ascends past a residential house. Higher we return to the road, where after a few minutes of further walking we arrive at the next intersection.
We continue slightly right along the ascending road, which quickly brings us to a larger intersection, where we continue left to the chapel. At the chapel we continue right in the direction of Mrzlica and after a few steps of further walking we step into the village Čeče. The panoramic road soon splits into two parts; the right one leads to the center of the village, while we continue along the left ascending road, along which we soon arrive at the "last" house in the village, where the asphalt ends. We continue along a wide cart track, which first steeply ascends through the forest, then levels out and crosses a forest road. The path higher joins the aforementioned macadam road, which leads us past a memorial plaque and higher brings us to a religious symbol, which we then leave. We continue the ascent along a pleasant and panoramic path that moderately ascends along the edge of the forest. Higher we again step onto the macadam road, ascend along it past the NOB monument, then leave it again. We continue the ascent along a wide path, which first leads us across panoramic slopes, then transitions into the forest, where after a few minutes of further walking it joins the road Podmeja - Mrzlica.
We continue right and continue the ascent along the steep road in the direction of Mrzlica. Higher the road levels out and brings us from the forest onto panoramic grassy slopes, from which a nice view opens up onto the peaks that surround the Savinjska dolina valley. Here from the left an almost unnoticeable path from the valley (Marija Reka) joins us, while we continue along the road all the way to the marked junction, where we have two options for continuing:
If we want to reach the summit of Mrzlica first and only then the mountain hut, we continue slightly right (otherwise straight along the moderately steep macadam road) along a fairly steep path, which after about 10 minutes levels out and brings us from the forest onto a larger grassy clearing, where a path branches off to the right leading to the nearby vantage point "K Skalci". Here we continue left (the branch-off for the summit is not marked) and in a few minutes of further walking we step onto the summit of Mrzlica.
From the summit we then descend to the mountain hut on Mrzlica in less than 5 minutes.

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