Route description:
From the hamlet Krače we head onto a steep macadam road in the direction of Zasavska Sveta gora. The road quickly brings us to a panoramic grassy slope, where it first turns left and then right and then gradually changes into a wide cart track. We continue the ascent on a marked cart track, which ascends diagonally through the forest. Higher, the cart track flattens temporarily, crosses a smaller stream which dries up in dry weather, and then starts to ascend somewhat more steeply towards the nearby asphalt road.
When we reach the mentioned road, we follow it to the left, but we walk on it only about 10 m, then old mountain signposts direct us right onto a somewhat less beaten mountain path, along which we return to the asphalt road in a few minutes. This time we follow the road to the right until the junction of the path to Roviškovec (Roviški vrh).
Here we continue left onto a steep footpath which starts ascending through the forest (straight on the road Zasavska Sveta gora 10 minutes). The path quickly brings us to a small saddle, where the path from Sava joins us, and we continue left on a steep mountain path, which gradually also leads onto quite steep forested slopes. Further on we ascend along the steep path, which is especially when wet also dangerous for slipping. Higher the path levels out somewhat and brings us to the summit of Roviškovec in a few minutes of further walking.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, summit register
