Radoboj - Sekolje (Strahinjčica)

Access to the starting point:
Leave the Macelj-Zagreb motorway at the Krapina exit and continue in the route Varaždin-Radoboj. When you reach the next crossroads, the left direction is Krapina, the right direction is Krapinske Toplice, and we go straight for Radoboj (direction not marked).
The road then leads us through Veliko Vas and Jazvine, and then starts to climb and leads us to Radoboj. Leave the car in the centre of the village, or if it is busy, a little lower down by the NK Radoboj playground.
The route can be shortened by 15 minutes if you park at the new mountain lodge in Radoboj.

Path description:
From the centre of Radoboj, head north. Orientation is easy because this is the only road going up. Soon you will come to a small roundabout, where signs and tourist boards help you. Continue along the road, which begins to descend slightly, and the path also leads you past a hunting lodge, which was still under construction at the time of writing. The first part of the trail is not marked, but it is almost impossible to miss if you stick to the asphalt road.
When you reach the village of Kamenečki, the path turns to the right, and a little further on the asphalt ends and you continue into the forest on the cart track.
The path then climbs steeply through the forest cart track, where the path leads us past a few waterworks. The steepness then gradually eases, and the path leads us through an area where it is usually quite muddy. Following this path, we arrive at the Plat saddle, where there is a crossroads.
At the crossroads, turn right and cross a meadow with a hunting observation post. The path quickly returns to the forest and becomes quite steep and the ground increasingly rocky. Continue past a shelter where you can rest, and just a minute higher you will reach a pass between the Sekolje peak and the Strahinjščice ridge, where the next crossroads is located.
The left path goes to the top of Sušec, straight to the village of Gornje Jesenje, and we go sharp left towards the top of Sekolje (when the description was written, the marker was quite overgrown).
From the crossroads, follow cart track, which first leads us to the forest turning point cart track. Cart track then becomes quite steep and leads us along the western slope.
We leave Cart track and our route starts to climb up the ridge for a short time, then it flattens out and moves to the southern slope. A little further on is also the only place where we can miss, because the shortcut continues along the ridge, and we go right.
We continue walking on the level path for a minute or so, and then the steepest part of the path follows. After a few minutes of walking, we reach the top of Sekolje.
From the top, we get some views, but most of them are blocked by forest.
