Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Maribor, we take the Celje exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Laško. Soon after Celje (still before Laško), left (at the traffic light) over the bridge, the road towards Celjska koča branches off. On the other side of the bridge over the river Savinja, we continue right and follow the road for a good 200m to the underpass under the railway track, behind which we park on the parking lot near the fire station in Zagrad.
Route description:
From the parking lot at the fire station, we go on a marked footpath in the direction of Celjska koča, which after a short ascent brings us to an asphalt road, which we then follow for quite some time. When the asphalt road makes a right turn (by the cross), we leave it and continue the ascent straight on a wide footpath, which ascends by the edge of a meadow. In the upper part of the meadow, the path turns left and brings us to the road, which we follow to the right, but only to the spot where a wide path towards Celjska koča and Grmada branches off left upwards (sharply left Grmada, steep path). The path higher again brings us to the road, where it in a gentle descent passes Trobiševa beech tree. After a few minutes of walk on the road, a marked cart track branches off to the left upwards, which in a diagonal ascent soon brings us to the path junction. Here we continue straight on the path, which soon brings us to the road, which we follow a few minutes to Celjska koča.
From the mountain hut, we continue on the left road in the direction of Svetina, which after 15 minutes of walking brings us to a path junction, where a path branches off sharply to the right upwards to Tolsti vrh. The path ahead ascends through the forest and in a few minutes brings us above the quarry, which we bypass on the right side. A little further, the path from Svetina joins from the left side. Next follows only a few minutes of moderate ascent to a vegetated peak.
