Štore - Hotel Celjska koča (via Marija and over Tolsti vrh)

Access to the starting point:
Štore ideally accessible by rail. By road. . . leave the motorway in Celje and head towards Štore or Šentjur, practically in the centre of Celje. Park your car near the Štore railway station, where there are plenty of parking spaces and also the start of a marked mountain trail.

Path description:
The route starts at the railway station in Štore. Go via Voglajna, where a direction sign immediately directs you to the right and shortly afterwards straight through the area of the old Stora Ironworks. Continue along the asphalt road in the lower part by the Bojan ditch to a new fork in the trail, where you continue straight ahead, left along the trail ,,over Žlajfa,,. Soon the road turns sharp left slightly uphill, flattens out again by the playground and after a few terraced houses turn left onto a forest road, which turns into a forest trail. The path "through Bojanski graben" branches off to the left, while we continue uphill to the right. The path from Celje and Tehari soon joins from the right. Continue left along the forest road by two or three houses and then left again along the forest path. Further on, the path forks at Srebotnik and shortly afterwards you reach a chapel carved into a rock face.
From the chapel, continue up the forest path and follow the signs and direction signs. At a large grassy clearing there is a crossroads where you turn right to Tolsti vrh, on the left is the path to Svetina. The path turns into a wide forest road, which you follow for a good hundred metres and turn left in the direction of Tolsti vrh onto a narrower forest path. Continue along the only homestead in this part of the trail, following the path through the meadow/pasture part, and you will reach Tolsti vrh from the east.
From Tolsti vrh descend along the western path to the top of the ski slope/ski facilities. Continue again in the forest along a narrower forest path to a fork where you turn right towards Hotel Celjska koča (left Laško). The path is again slightly wider and before the hunting lodge you go left downhill, along the artificial lake behind the ski slope and after three or four bends along a narrower path in a conifer-rich forest you descend to the road and a few more steps to your destination, the Celjska hut.
