From Slovenske Konjice we continue driving on the regional road towards Celje, and we follow it to the settlement Stranice, where at the roundabout we turn right towards Vitanje. We follow the road to the mentioned settlement, where somewhere in the center of the settlement we park in a suitable place.

Path description:
We start in the center of Vitanje right next to KSEVT. We go along the street in the north direction to the bridge over Hudinja, where a signpost directs us further. We go past a small church on the left and at the bus stop we turn right into the valley through which Hudinja flows.
We walk past the cemetery, which we see on the left, and past houses. We walk along the road approximately 1 km, then the road turns, where we cross a stone bridge and arrive at the sawmill. At this spot, the signpost on the apple tree directs us right upwards. Along the macadam road we go only a few meters, then we turn left onto the footpath.
Signposts lead us through the forest upwards. Higher up the path turns sharply to the left and goes through a dense spruce forest. For some time we ascend steeply, then when we step out of the forest a view of Vitanje opens up. For a short time we are again in the forest, then across the pasture and past the chapel upwards across the road. Near the farm the path turns right upwards, where we step onto the road along which we go to the hamlet Sveti Vid.
In the middle of the forest there is a junction (right church of sv. Vid (5 minutes)), we turn left. After a while the macadam road at the big tree turns to asphalt, where we keep to the left direction. Along this road we go approximately 500 m, then the signpost directs us again to the left along the edge of the forest and near the houses upwards. We walk along the macadam road, near the farm a signpost on the power pole directs us right upwards across the yard.
The path goes again into the forest on a deep forest cart track. Higher up we step onto the macadam road and go right to the clearing, where we turn left and again along the edge of the forest past weekend houses upwards. Continuing we walk through the forest, we cross the forest road, across the excavation of the schist deposit (stone used for roofing churches and bell towers). Across Ovčarjev vrh (1286 m), where from the right the path from the village Skomarje joins.
The path levels out, the terrain here is marshy so this place is called Luže. We go past the apartment houses Janko and Metka, immediately after them we turn again left onto the footpath. We quickly gain height, after which the steepness after a few minutes eases and from the left the path from Mislinja joins.
We step onto the asphalt road Zreče-Rogla and walk along it approximately 15 minutes until we arrive at the top part of the recreation center Rogla, from where it is not far to the top anymore. We go straight past the playground and the chapel. At the edge of the playground we turn left upwards, past the monument and the picnic area. The path continues slightly ascending, we follow the blazes and in the next 15 minutes we are at the lookout tower, where the highest point of Rogla is (1517 m).
