Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Maribor take the exit Celje - centre and continue to Vojnik. At Vojnik, turn left towards Dobrna, and follow the road to Nova Cerkev, where signs for Vitanje direct you to the right. Continue along a narrower and winding road to reach the point of Vitanje. Here, turn left and follow the ascending road to St Anthony's Church, where you can park in a suitable place, or better still, park in one of the car parks in the centre of Vitanje.
b) From the motorway Maribor - Ljubljana, take the exit Slovenske Konjice and then follow the road towards the above-mentioned place. From Slovenske Konjice continue on the regional road towards Celje, and follow it to Stranice, where you turn right at the roundabout towards Vitanje. Follow the road to the above-mentioned place, where at the main crossroads turn left towards Nova Cerkva, and then after a few 10 metres turn right uphill (direction Paški Kozjak). Continue along the narrow and ascending road, then follow it to the Church of St. Anthony, where you can park in a suitable place, or better still, park in one of the car parks in the centre of Vitanje.
Path description:
From the centre of Vitanje, follow the road towards Brezen and the marked path to Paški Kozjak and Smereška peča. After a short climb along the above-mentioned road, you will reach the Church of St. Anthony in Vitanje, where you will continue along the left-hand road in the direction of Paško Kozjak. Just a little further on, the road makes a left turn, and we leave it at this point, as the signs for Basališče direct us to the right to cart track, which climbs along the nearby stream. Cart track soon ends and the marked "path" turns right and climbs through grassy hayfields to nearby houses, where it emerges onto a side road. From the houses, walk to the main asphalted road, which is only crossed and the ascent continues along a marked and clearly visible path. Continue for a short distance on the wider path, then the signs direct you sharp left onto a narrower track which climbs steeply at first and then cross-climbs over relatively steep slopes. Higher up, we join the wider path, which leads us in a cross-climb under the rocky cliffs. A short climb follows and the path leads to a place where a short path branches off to the left to a viewpoint at Smereški peči.
From the lookout point, we go back a few metres and then continue our ascent along the marked path, which quickly leads us out of the forest to the edge of the grassy hay meadows. Continue along the edge of the forest and after a few minutes you will reach a nearby road.
The road is just at a small crossroads, and we continue our ascent along the middle road towards Paško Kozjak. We continue up past the chapel and the Strmečnik farm, and then the marked path turns right into the forest. Cross the road twice, and when you reach it for the third time, follow it to the right, but only as far as the first crossroads. At the crossroads, do not continue on the left or the right road, but continue straight ahead on the marked path that climbs between the two roads. After a short climb, you reach a lonely homestead, after which the path goes into the forest and starts to climb steeply. Higher up, the path gradually lays and leads us to a small levelling where the Javorje hunting lodge stands.
From the hunting lodge, continue in the direction Basališče and follow the relatively steep cart track, which is higher and gradually turns into an occasionally quite overgrown path. Continue following the markings, which soon lead to a forest road, which you follow to the right. Walk along the road for a few minutes and then it ends at the nearby hunting observation post. Continue left along the marked cart track, from which a track soon branches off slightly to the left, leading to the Basališče. A few steps higher, the path turns right onto an indistinct ridge. A few minutes of gentle to moderate ascent follow and the path, which mostly passes through the forest, quickly leads to the highest peak of Paško Kozjak.

Discussion about the trail Vitanje - Basališče (Paški Kozjak)

Pot sem opravil v soboto 26.01. zjutraj, s štartom v Vitanju ob 7.uri. Hodil sem po markirani poti. Ko pot prečka cesto in preide v gozd snega ni veliko, res pa je, da pred menoj ni bilo pohodnikov. Gaženja ni bilo, saj je snega komaj 5 cm. Potem, ko se pa pot še parkrat sreča z asfaltno cesto, pa je snega že več in ko gre mimo hiše z vijolčnimi robovi je bilo snega že čez gležnje. Sneg je bil v soboto suh, tako, da gamaš nisem niti potreboval. Skratka, sneg ni bil problematičen, tudi nad lovsko kočo ne, ko ga je bilo vedno več. Pot je markirana povsem v skladu z ostalimi potmi, edino na kakšnih razpotjih sem se moral ustaviti in dobro pogledati kam naprej. Ker pred menoj ni bilo pohodnikov sem parkrat malce zgrešil pot ampak potem naknadno slučajno opazil markacije nižje ali višje od moje poti. Na Basališču snega ni veliko, zgleda ga je veter spihal, se pa že ponekod, kjer je napihan sneg udira nad koleno ali pa malenkost manj. Drugače pa sploh ni težav. Meni osebno je bilo težje potem nadaljevati pot od Ostrice po grebenu do Sv. Jošta. Tam so bile vidne stopinje predhodnikov, ampak korak sploh ni varen. Nekje je sneg spihan do kopnega, nekje ga je pa kar precej, podlaga pa trda in pomrznjena. Ker se podlaga menja in ker nisem vedel kakšen je sneg, sem imel parkrat kar srečo, da sem v roki držal cepin in da sem se ustavil. V takih razmerah ni primerno za tiste, ki niso vajeni hoje po takem svetu v takih pogojih. Poleti je to verjetno zelo prijetna pot, ampak pozimi pa ni nedolžno. Snega na Sv. Joštu je približno 30cm, spust do koče pa sploh ni bil problematičen, ker tukaj se pa vidi gaz. Od koče na Kozjaku sem se potem spustil v Dobrno. Prvotno sem imel v mislih pot preko Visokega, ampak so mi pohodniki v koči odsvetovali, ker naj bi bilo kar precej snega, zato sem šel kar direktno po cesti. Sicer se kar vleče, ampak sem pa užival v razgledih po teh gozdovih in vrhovih.

Pot smo začeli v kraju Brezen nad Vitanjem(750 nmv)in po označeni poti čez Basališče-Špik-Pl.dom-Dobrna.Hoje 5,15 ure,sk.vzpona 840 m.Pot po grebenu zaradi snega kar naporna,mestoma nevarna za zdrs,še posebno iz Špika po strmi nevarovani poti do koče.Sicer pa ok.

le čemu služijo vgrajeni kovinski žigi /Špik/če pa so uničene črke. žalosti pa me tudi to, da nekateri kradejo pl.žige in jih potem delijo, proti plačilu, študentom kot dokaz za prehojene ture ki bi naj bile obvezne za izpit pri predmetu telesne kulture.
