Path description:
After a short sightseeing of the main part of Studenice, we continue left from the monastery complex by the presbytery. In the passage/underpass between the presbytery and winegrowers association Studenice we continue upwards on a cart track by a stone wall and nun cemetery. We soon reach the source of the stream Topli potok left from the path and on a narrow footbridge we cross the stream. We continue upwards, now on the old Roman road which through long centuries retained the original form of the path higher into Boč. When we get to a forest road we turn left, right leads the road towards the settlement Podboč or Zgornje Poljčane.
We follow the forest road and at the first larger crossroad we continue right, left leads the road in the direction of Makole. Further, right by the road we reach a log cabin of hunters LD Poljčane na Golniku. We continue on the road and we soon come again to a crossroad at which we continue right, left clearing Formila, partisan hospital on Boč, Dom planincev na Boču... We follow the road further from a turn to a turn...and we reach the entrance or the fence of RTV tower on Boč.
We continue a little downwards and we soon descend to a mountain path from Poljčane towards the tower on Boč. On the path further by the military area we soon reach our destination...some final meters on the upper ridge. A short ascent on stairs on the tower. A nice view towards all sides is the final reward of described tour.
