Access to the starting point:
a) Exit the Štajerska motorway at exit Slovenska Bistrica - South, then follow the road to Poljčane and from there to Makole, Majšperk and Ptuj. At the end of Majšperk exit the roundabout in the direction of Žetale and Jurovci. Continue along the main road to Stanečka vas and a little further. At the end of Stanečka vas, turn right towards Žetale and Naraplje. You will quickly reach Naraplje, and we will follow the road to the centre of the village, where we will park in the parking lot next to the sports ground and the mountain direction signs.
b) Leave the Podravje motorway at exit Lancova vas, then follow the signs for Podlehnik and Jurovce. At the end of Tržec, turn right at the roundabout towards Jurovci and continue towards Majšperk. In Stogovci, turn left towards Žetale and quickly arrive in Naraplje, and we drive to the centre of the settlement, where we park in the parking lot next to the mountain direction signs and the sports ground.
Path description:
From the parking lot, take the path towards Jelovice and Donačka gora, initially walking along the road that led to the starting point, but before crossing the stream and before the bus stop, go left (unmarked) onto a meadow, over which you climb to the edge of the woods, where you will see a waymarked cart track.
The faintly trodden cart track climbs across to the right and soon turns into an initially quite steep path. Higher up, you reach a cottages, at which you climb up to an asphalt road, where you go left. Walk past a few more houses, then continue along cart track, then reach another road. Continue along the ridge, and a little further on merge with the path from Stogovciv.
Continue along the tarmac road for a short distance, and when the road splits, continue straight on to the footpath, which will take you up to the church of St. Bolfenk in a few minutes.
From the church, continue south and follow the dirt road down to the nearby chapel, where you will reach an asphalt road.
Continue left towards the top of Jelovice and Donačka gora (descend to the right into Stogovce) and follow the asphalt road, which turns to the right. After a few minutes, we reach the registration box (checkpoint 8 on the Halo Mountain Route), and we continue along the road that leads us along the eastern slopes of Kerješet Peak. At the next crossroads, by the NOB memorial, continue to the right, and then the signs for the Jelovice peak direct you to the right on the footpath. The ascent through the forest follows, and after a few minutes you join the cart track, which continues the cross-climb. When you reach the ridge connecting the Jelovice peak with the Kerješetov vrh peak, go right (Jelovice peak on the left) and continue along the unmarked track, which will take you to the unmarked Kerješetov vrh in a few minutes.
