Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Maribor, we take the exit Slovenske Konjice and continue driving towards the mentioned settlement. From Slovenske Konjice we continue towards Zreče, and we follow the road further in the direction of Rogla. When we arrive at Rogla we continue on the main road, which for some time continues without major changes in altitude, then turns to the left and gradually starts descending. We follow the mentioned road to the mountain hut Koča na Pesku, where we park on the parking lot near the mountain hut.
B) First, we drive to Lovrenc na Pohorju (to here from the road Maribor - Dravograd), then we continue driving towards Rogla and Koča na Pesku. The macadam road further first brings us to Mašinžaga and then to the mountain hut Koča na Pesku. We park on the parking lot at the mountain hut Koča na Pesku.
Route description:
From the mountain hut Koča na Pesku we continue on the road in the direction of Mašin Žaga. The road first descends through a small valley between Rogla on the left and Pesek on the right, and then brings us to Mašin Žaga, where there is a smaller reservoir.
We continue left in the direction of Lovrenška jezera and Ribniška koča, bypassing the mentioned lake on the left side. On the other side of the lake, signs for Lovrenška jezera and Šotna pot direct us to the right, where we cross a wooden footbridge. We continue a few dozen steps parallel to the stream, then go left uphill, where the blazes direct us. The path ahead gradually starts to ascend a bit more steeply, and after approximately 25 minutes of ascent we reach a marked junction where we join the path from Rogla.
We continue right in the direction of Lovrenška jezera (left Rogla), continuing the path with some traverses and shorter ascents and descents, then we begin to ascend on a partly paved path, ascending on wooden duckboards. Higher up the path levels out and we arrive at a junction, where we go right towards Lovrenška jezera (left Ribniška koča and Rogla via the western path).
Just a few dozen steps further we arrive at the lookout tower, from which a nice view opens towards the plateau where the small lakes are located, and from the tower we continue on wooden duckboards, which through the dwarf pines bring us to the lakes.

Hello hikers. You are cordially invited also to the Lovrenška jezera, where your eyes will rest looking at the small marshy lakes.

Hello,
I walked from Koča na Pesku to Lovrenška jezera (15.8). I had a moderate pace and arrived at the lakes in 1h10min. Back I returned via Rogla and then to Koča na Pesku. Via Rogla the path is somewhat easier and faster and especially much fuller with "tourist hikers". Well, at least that day it was. Otherwise, the path from Koča na Pesku to the lakes is somewhat steep but still good enough even for complete beginners. LP

Hello, in these hot, humid days my classmate and I set off to Rogla on 16.7.2010. We chose hiking trail 3 Planja-Lovrenška jezera - Pesek - Planja, 18 km long. We walked it at a moderate pace in 2 hours 50 min. It was wonderful, admiring the beauty of nature and cooling off in the shade of spruce forests. The highlight is certainly the Lovrenška jezera, hidden among pines and blueberries.

Ojla.....
Nice family trip from Koča na Pesku....picked some blueberries and mushrooms along the way...but we were annoyed by the abnormally much littered path with various tissues almost under every other tree....a bit for fun...looks like the path kinda forces it out of you....

I would go to the lakes from Slovenj Gradec and I'm asking because I'm more of a beginner. How far should I drive by car and then about an hour or two of slower walking to the lakes and the tower and back to the car. It can also be a circular trail, it's more interesting.

You have it written in the trail description that it's one and a half hours walk to the lakes.
You can also go from hotel Planja, it's a bit shorter and no steep incline.
Of course....starting point is Rogla.

We last autumn went from the shepherd's chair (point in Mislinja, somewhere in the forest), midway stop at Ribniška koča and this time without Ribniško lake, then on to Lovrenška lakes. At a moderate pace it was about 7 hours of walking, if I remember correctly... Maybe too much for a complete walking beginner.
Otherwise there were some notices about forestry works and impassability, check a bit how it is with that, if the works are already over.
But it's a nice trail, forested, somewhat open, a bit up, a bit down. No terrible steepness though.
