Path description:
From the parking lot, on the pedestrian crossing carefully cross the main road, then head to the road towards Sveti Florijan, and soon along the path notice red mountain signposts for Grilova kapela and Boč. At first walk on the sidewalk, after a few minutes the path turns towards the east and splits a little further on. Before the chapel continue on the left road, along which the blazes continue. Continue between some houses of the settlement Cerovec pod Bočem, where follow the blazes, higher the asphalt path leads us into the gorge of the Tržiški potok stream. For some time continue along the mentioned gorge, then the road turns sharply left and gradually moves away from the stream.
A little higher, the signs for Grilova kapela and Boč direct us left onto a side road (straight ranč Stojnšek), along which we continue ascending.
Higher go left again, then past Grilov vodnjak arrive from the forest, where on the left, at the edge of the forest notice Grilova kapela.
Here go right in the direction of Boč and Ložno and return to the forest. In continuation ascend the slopes of Grilov vrh (612 m), higher reach a larger clearing on the northern side of the mentioned peak.
Here from the southern part of the clearing a view opens up reaching all the way to the Kamniško Savinjskih Alps, we go right, where on the right side bypass an older wooden hut. Follows only a short ascent along the cart track and reach the forest road, where the marked path splits.
Continue straight in the direction of Boč (right Rudijev dom and Ložno), where steeply ascend along the marked path. The path ahead first leads through a belt of bushes, from where some views open up, then the path enters the forest through which it still ascends quite steeply. Higher the path and the slope level out, we follow the marked path to the marked junction, from which continue straight to the nearby road (right Donačka gora).
When reaching the road go left, left also at the nearby intersection (right Makole). Follows some descent along the macadam road, when leaving the forest past the shrine arrive at the intersection, from which go straight (left leads the road into the valley in the direction of Rogaška Slatina) and on the left side bypass the Gavez homestead, on the right the nearby Rogaška Slatina hunting lodge.
Behind the lodge descend to the other road and follow it to the right. When the road starts to ascend leave it and continue right downhill (straight Boč) and along the marked cart track begin descending through the forest. Lower reach another road and follow it left, we continue along it with an easy descent. After a few minutes on the right notice the signs for the partisan hospital, which from the road direct us right to the place where the partisan hospital once stood.
