Stoperce - Škrbatnica

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Rogaška Slatina, then continue driving towards Rogatec. In Rogatec at the roundabout we take the "left" exit in the direction of Ptuj, then we drive on the main road to the Brzika pass, where the road starts descending. Lower down, we arrive in Stoperce, where we park on the parking lot at the Krajevni dom.
B) We drive to Majšperk, then follow the signs for Stoperce and Rogatec. When we arrive in Stoperce, we park at the Dom krajanov Stoperce.

Path description:
From the Dom krajanov Stoperce we walk for a short time along the main road towards Rogatec, then behind the Litož store we turn right onto a side road, marked with signs for sv. Ano and Zelena dolina. The path ahead initially ascends through a small valley, but we soon climb onto a slope, where the path leads past individual houses with beautiful views. Higher up, the road temporarily flattens, offering a nice view towards the church of sv. Ane, while we continue following the asphalt road and the trail markers.
The hill with the church of sv. Ane we bypass in a cross ascent towards the right, when we reach the saddle north of sv. Ane, we go slightly right in the direction of Fidrški Vrh (sharply left sv. Ana and Zelena dolina), where the path leads past a pleasant resting place. The path ahead leads us along the Stoperška planinska pot, at the nearby crossroad we turn right onto a macadam road, which further on to the left crosses the slopes of Škrbatnica.
Only a few steps before we reach the saddle between Fidrški vrh and Škrbatnica, we turn sharply right onto an unmarked cart track, which begins ascending along the ridge of Škrbatnica. The cart track then quickly turns into a footpath, which shifts onto the ridge, and in a few minutes we arrive at the top.
