Access to the starting point:
a) From the road Maribor - Dravograd, before the village of Brezno, turn left in the direction of Podvelka, Ribnica na Pohorju and Ribniška koča. After the bridge over the Drava River, we arrive at Podvelka, and we follow the road in the direction of Ribnica na Pohorju. After about 10 km from the bridge over the Drava, we reach the centre of Ribnica na Pohorju, where we turn left. There is a further climb of about 8 km, mostly on a dirt road, to Ribniška koča, where we park.
b) From Dravograd, drive towards Maribor, and after Radlje ob Dravi at the roundabout, leave the main road towards Maribor and continue driving towards Vuhred, Ribnica na Pohorje and Ribniška koča. After the bridge over the Drava River, we arrive at Vuhred, and we continue along the road in the direction of Ribnica na Pohorje. After about 10 km from the bridge over the Drava, we reach the centre of Ribnica na Pohorju, where we turn right. There is a further climb of about 8 km, mostly on a dirt road, to Ribniška koča, where we park.
Path description:
From Ribniška koča, take the path in the direction of Jezerski vrh and Ribniško jezero and initially walk along the road that led to the starting point and in a gentle downhill to the saddle between Mali Črni vrh and Jezerc peak. At the saddle, where it is also possible to park, we leave the road and take the marked footpath, which ascends first gently and then steeply to the monument at Jezerski vrh, which we reach in about 10 minutes of an increasingly scenic ascent.
From Jezerski vrh continue slightly left towards Lovrenška jezera and Roga (left Ribniško jezero for 5 minutes) and start descending through sparse forest. Soon we join a path leading past Ribniško jezero on our left, and we continue our initially moderate descent through sparse wodland, then into dense wodland, and the path descends a little more steeply. During the descent, a short path branches off to the left to the sign of the two downed airmen, and we continue our descent to the Šiklarica Pass. After the preval, we start climbing again, and at a few small crossroads we follow the signs. A little further on, we pass a spring, and after it we climb quite steeply for a few minutes. Higher up, the path is laid and leads us out of the forest to the meadow of Planinka, over which we climb, mostly gently to moderately, with increasingly beautiful views. Higher up, the path turns right and just a little further on we are joined on the left by the path from Lovrenec na Pohorju. There are some more crossings with fine views, and then the path passes into a rare forest, where it passes under the Lovrenška jezera plateau, and as a result we cross a large number of small streams. After a few minutes of crossing, you reach a marked crossroads, where you continue left in the direction of Lovrenška jezera and Roga (slightly right Rogla - the path that bypasses Lovrenška jezera) and start climbing up wooden bridges. After a few minutes of climbing, we merge with the eastern path from Roga, 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 the wooden bridges that lead us to the lakes during the dwarf pines.
From the lakes, return to the last crossroads and continue in the direction of Rogle and Koča na Pesku. Then descend through a partly sparse forest, initially mostly on wooden bridges, but lower down on the cart track, which crosses the slopes to the left with a few short ascents and descents. During the crossing, the path also leads us over a few streams, and on the gently sloping part we reach a marked crossroads, from which we continue down to the left in the direction of Hut na Pesku (straight Rogla).
Then descend cart track, through again more sparse forest, and when the path is laid, cross the nearby stream via a small bridge. The way ahead leads us along the accumulation lake intended for snowmaking of the Rogla ski slope, and a little further on we reach a wider macadam road, which we follow in a moderate ascent until we reach a few minutes distant Koča na Pesku.

Super potka. Predvsem se mi je dopadlo, da se da po njej teči, saj je zelo položna. Odlična in zanimiva pa so tudi Lovrenška jezera na sredi poti. Prav spominjajo na pokrajino na S Evrope, npr. Estonijo, kjer imajo skorajda identično pokrajino z močvirji - le da je seveda sama ravnina

Žig slov. pl. poti od te koče pogrešam že najmanj pol leta, od kar je korona. Lepo bi bilo, da bi bil na razpolago zunaj koče.
