Beli Potok at Frankolovo - Stenica

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Maribor, take the exit Celje - centre, then continue to Vojnik, Frankolovo and Zrece. At the end of Frankolovo, you will see signs for the Lindek castle, which will direct you left onto a narrower and ascending asphalt road. Park along the road in a suitable place.

Path description:
Walk along the asphalt road for a few minutes and then arrive at a small crossroads, where you continue neither left nor right, but straight on the marked cart track in the direction of Castle Lindek, Kislice and Stenica. The path continues along the cart track, which follows the bed of the Belski brook. Higher up, we cross the aforementioned stream, and the path leads us to the 9 m high Lindeškega waterfall. Above the waterfall, the path switches to slightly steeper slopes, then lays down and turns slightly to the right. There are a few minutes of gentle ascent through the forest, and then the path leads to a nearby macadam road. Follow the road to the right, and after a few steps it leads to a small pass where there is a marked crossroads.
Here, continue left along the asphalt road (right Castle Lindek 10 to 15 minutes), which leads us after a few metres to the next crossroads. This time continue along the right-hand road in the direction of the path to Stenica. At the next crossroads, continue right again, and we follow the asphalt road for a short time, then, when we reach a larger hayfield, we leave it and continue our ascent to the left (an arrow on the asphalt points to the left), along the edge of the forest, relatively steeply uphill. Climb along the edge of the wood for a while and then you will reach a grassy cart track, which you follow to the right, to a nearby farm.
Here, walk through the farmyard of a dwelling house (beware of the big dog!), after which you will come to a small fork, where you will continue along the upper left-hand cart track. Continue briefly on cart track, and then you reach a fainter macadam road, which you reach just at the end of the road, but we just cross it and continue the climb on a steeper marked mountain path. (You can also get here by following the road straight on instead of turning left onto the hayfield, and then after a few minutes continue left - this is how you get away from the dog).
Climb quite steeply through the woods for a few minutes, then reach cart track, which you follow to the left, but walk along it for only a short time, as the signs for Stenica then direct you to the right onto another steeper footpath. Continue through the forest for a while and then you will reach a dirt road, which you follow to the left. At the sight of Pohorje, walk to the right-hand bend, and we leave the road just at the bend and climb past the nearby garage into the woods. The path continues steeply up the eastern ridge of Stenica, and then leads to the headland, where it lays. There is a short descent, and then the marked trail continues along and along the ridge Stenica to the main summit, which is reached after a further 20 minutes of walking.
