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, new direction signs point the way up the Baba Trail. The path winds pleasantly higher up in a partly mixed deciduous and coniferous forest. Soon you reach a road and continue right, following the tarmac higher up to the road crossroads at Boč. The road continues to the left towards the mountain lodge, while we continue to the right on a macadam link. From the right side we join the mountain trail across Galka 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), we continue straight ahead with the help of a signpost. We 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 3500 metres, 285 positive vertical metres and 95 negative vertical metres.
We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Boč
