Access to starting point:
We drive to Zgornje Poljčane, where we park at one of the parking lots in the center of the village, preferably somewhere near the cemetery or the children's playground.
Route description:
From the center of Zgornje Poljčane we first walk to the parish church sv. Križa, where we notice the first signs of the Jakobova pot. We follow the path towards the east, initially walking along Ulica Erne Starovasnik. Soon we arrive in the settlement Podboč, where the path forks.
Slightly to the right a marked path or road branches off towards Boča, but we continue slightly to the left along the lower road. This leads us past a few more houses, and at the end of the village we turn right in the direction of the cycling path along the Dravinja.
We continue along a gentle gravel road, which a few minutes further forks at a double hayrack (toplar). We continue slightly right along the poorer road intended for pedestrians and cyclists, and when we reach the forest, we ascend moderately for a few minutes. Later we leave the forest and walk across scenic meadows, from which a beautiful view opens to the other side of the Dravinja towards the church sv. Lucije, to the western edge of the settlement Studenice. Here we reach an asphalt road, which we follow towards the east, and after crossing the Topli potok we turn right in the direction of the monastic educational trail.
A gentle ascent follows past a few houses to the Samostan dominikank Studenice. Here we go slightly right (to the left are the ruins of grad Studenice) and we bypass the monastery complex on the right side. We continue along the educational trail, which turns into forest and ascends transversely above a fairly steep bank above the stream. A little further the slope flattens. When we reach the old Roman road (if we continue right here we can return to the starting point along the previously mentioned road leading towards Boča), we turn left and soon arrive at the head of the valley, where the source of the Topli potok is located.
The description and photos refer to the condition in April 2026.
