Hike across Pohorje

Hello,
In June I plan a hike across Pohorje. I'm wondering if the part of the path from MB to Areh mostly goes through shade or is more exposed to the sun?

Thanks for the answers.

Hi.

Mostly shade. Here and there, there are parts in the sun.

From the valley (MB), where the gondola starts to Bellevue (where the gondola stops), most people walk right on the ski slope. This variant is short and all the time in the sun. But next to the ski slope about 10 meters more into the forest there is also a footpath or several variants, which is practically always in the shade.

If you go on the transversal from Poštele or from Betnava castle, you are all the time in the shade.

From Bellevue to Areh there is a wide 6 km long drivable (off-road cars, bikes, quads) path, which is mostly in the shade, some parts are in the sun (especially the last kilometer before Areh). You can also go somewhere in the forest parallel to the main wide path.

LP and enjoy

Thank you! Do you perhaps also know the current conditions on the other part of the path from Areh to Ribniška koča? I'm interested if it's possible to refill water somewhere along the path and if besides the Koča na Pesku and on Klopni vrh, which are both closed, there is any other refreshment point on the path?
For this part it's probably best to have enough water and food with you for the whole day.

There is no refreshment point, except on the side at Rogla.
There is enough water.

On Thursday, the 25th, in the afternoon I took the bus to Slovenj Gradec, and from there climbed up to Koča pod Kremžarjevim vrhom, where I also spent the night.
In the morning already before 6 o'clock I drank coffee and continued along the Slovenian Mountain Trail towards Rogla. Grmovškov dom looks bigger every year. At Ribniška koča there was also an outdoor bar operating.
I spent the night at Hotel Brinje on Rogla. Only on Saturday when passing by Pesek did I notice that the hut is closed due to renovation.
On Saturday I continued from Rogla to Bellevue, then by cable car to Maribor.
