Access to the starting point:
a) From the route of Ljubljana, leave the motorway at Slovenske Konjice and drive through Žič, Loč and Zbelovo to Poljčane. At the crossroads, turn right in the route Zgornje Poljčane, where at the marked crossroads turn left uphill and drive to the parking area - the starting point for the mountain trails to Boč.
b) From Maribor, leave the motorway at Slovenska Bistrica, where signs point to Poljčane. Continue through the centre of Poljčane in the route Zgornje Poljčane, where you turn left at a marked junction and drive up to the parking lot - the starting point for the hiking trails to Boč.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue up the asphalt road. Meadows, pastures, vineyards and three or four houses or farmhouses line the road for a few hundred metres. At the end of Zgornje Poljčane, the road turns into a forest, and we follow the tarmac higher up to the crossroads at Boč. The road continues to the left towards the mountain lodge, while we continue to the right on the macadam road. From the right side, the mountain trail over Galka joins and on the left we reach the site of the Easterberry on Boč, 642 metres high and also the highest point of the described trail.
After a short visit to the site, which is of course most important in spring (when it is in bloom), continue straight ahead with the help of a signpost. Walk below the 782-metre-high Drevenik mountain. Follow the pleasant forest road slightly to the right twice. Also a pleasant plateau with a few cottages and the Drevenik water reservoir on the left above the path. A short continuation along a slightly narrower road and soon reach Planinska koča Velikonočnica at 550 metres.
The length of the route described is about 4000 metres, 285 positive vertical metres and 95 negative vertical metres.
We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Boč
