Koča na Pesku - Rogla (footpath)

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 further we follow the road 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 to descend. 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. Continuing, the macadam road 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.

Path description:
From the mountain hut Koča na Pesku, some 10 meters further we continue on the asphalt road towards Rogla, then we continue right onto a cart track in the direction of Rogla. We continue the path for some time on a gentle cart track, then immediately after crossing a smaller stream we continue left onto a somewhat steeper footpath, which then ascends through the forest. Higher, the footpath gradually flattens and brings us into a gradually thinner forest. From the spot where the forest thins out, only a short walk separates us from the lookout tower on Rogla.
If there is no danger of storms, we can, on our own responsibility, also climb the mentioned tower, from which a nice view opens up over a larger part of Pohorje, and with good visibility also on the Karavanke, Kamnik Savinja Alps and Triglav.
