Fram - Hunting lodge - LD Fram

Access to starting point:
We leave the Štajerska motorway at the Fram exit and follow the signs for Fram. When we reach the main road Slovenska Bistrica - Maribor, from the traffic-light intersection we continue straight and drive into the centre of Fram. We continue through the settlement, and when we arrive at the parking lot below the parish church of St. Anne, we park in the parking lot in the centre of the settlement.

Route description:
From the starting point, we head onto the road that bypasses the church of St. Anne on the left side and along which there are signs for Ruška koča na Arehu (right - Mariborska koča). When a little further ahead the road turns right, we continue straight onto a side road, past the cemetery. On the upper part of the cemetery the path splits, and we can continue on the marked path, which first goes along the cemetery, then turns right and joins the cart track, where we meet the path if at the cemetery we continue right onto the cart track in the direction of the water source Zlati studenec.
From the junction of both paths we continue for about a minute and arrive at the source Zlati studenec, where there is an information board.
We continue on the marked path, which takes us out of the forest and a few steps further to the asphalt road, which we follow right uphill, bypassing the nearby chapel on the left side. With nice views we continue past a few houses, then the signs for Areh direct us right, a little further we go left, again towards Areh. The road soon turns into a cart track that ascends transversely through the forest, higher up we reach a smaller intersection of asphalt roads. We continue on the side marked road, which first rises gently, then begins to descend. The road soon stops descending, and after the cross we go slightly left from the road onto the marked cart track, which leads us past the nearby farm. After the farm, a nice view towards Boč opens up first, then the path enters the forest, and we ascend transversely for a few more minutes, then cross a meadow, and at the hunting observatory we return to the forest. We walk through the forest for a short time, then reach a larger grassy area, where the path turns left. After the grassy section we return to the road, where the path leads us past two tourist farms, after them the marked path towards Areh turns right, and we continue straight, arriving at the Hunting Lodge - LD Fram in two minutes of further walking.
Fram - Zlati studenec 0:10, Zlati studenec - Hunting Lodge 1:35.
