Rogla (Hotel Planja) - Lovrenška jezera (western path)

Access to the starting point:
a) From the Ljubljana - Maribor motorway, take the Slovenske Konjice exit and continue driving towards the above-mentioned place. From Slovenske Konjice continue towards Zreče, and we continue along the road in the direction of Roga. When we arrive at Rogla, we park in a large parking lot near the Planja Hotel.
b) First we drive to Lovrenc na Pohorju (to get here from the road Maribor - Dravograd), then we continue driving towards Rogla and Koča na Pesku. The dirt road then leads first to Mašinžaga and then to Koča na Pesku. From Koča na Pesku, continue on the asphalt road, which then leads up to a large parking lot near the Planja Hotel.

Path description:
From the parking lot, walk to the mountain direction signs located by the Planja pizzeria, and then follow the path in the direction of Lovrenška jezera, Sedla Komisija and Ostruščica. At first, descend slightly along the four-seater Planja, and when you reach a narrower asphalt path, follow it to the left for a short distance, and then the signs for Lovrenška jezera direct you to the right to a larger pasture. This is followed by a climb up a gentle grassy slope, and higher up the meadow is replaced by a sparse forest and we arrive at the top slopes of Ostruščica.
From Ostruščice, follow cart track down to the Komisija saddle, where the trail splits.
Continue slightly left in the direction of Lovrenška jezera and Ribniška koča (slightly right Lovrenška jezera and Ribniška koča - the eastern path) and continue through the forest, then the forest begins to thin and in a slight ascent you arrive on the viewing slopes, from which a beautiful view opens up towards Karawanks and the Kamniško Savinjski Alps. The trail then returns to the forest and continues without any major changes in altitude, and after a while leads to a marked crossroads.
From the crossroads, continue right in the direction of Lovrenška jezera (straight ahead Ribniška koča and Lovrenc na Pohorju) and start climbing on wooden bridges. After a few minutes of climbing, we merge with the eastern path, and we go left and quickly reach the lookout tower at Lovren Lakes.
From the tower, we have a beautiful view of the plateau where the lakes are located, and from the tower we continue along wooden bridges that lead us to the lakes during the dwarf pines.
The description and pictures refer to the situation in October 2022.
