Rogla (Hotel Planja) - Jezerski vrh (via Lovrenška jezera)

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 right in the direction of Lovrenška jezera and Ribniška koča (slightly left Lovrenška jezera and Ribniška koča - the western route) and continue along the wider cart track. A little further on, the marked path from Koča na Pesku or the Mashin Sawmill joins us from the right, and we continue straight on in the direction of Lovrenška jezera. There are a few more crossings with short ascents and descents, and then we start climbing on a partly paved path, where we climb on wooden bridges. Higher up, the path flattens out and you reach a crossroads where you go right towards Lovrenška jezera (left Ribniška koča and Rogla on the western path).
Only a few 10 steps further you reach a lookout tower, from which you have a nice view towards the plateau where the lakes are located, and from the tower you continue on wooden bridges, which lead you to the lakes during the dwarf pines.
From the lakes, return to the last crossroads and continue in the direction of Ribniška koča and Rogle. After a few minutes of descending on wooden bridges, go right from the marked crossroads in the direction of Lovrenc na Pohorju and Ribniška koča (left Rogla on the western path). Cross the slopes below the plateau Lovrenška jezera, where the path crosses a few streams, then the slope becomes scenic and you reach the crossroads at Planinka.
Here we continue straight on (to the right Lovrenc to Pohorje), and the trail leads us along beautiful views of Pohorje and Kamnik Savinja Alps and Karawanks in the distance, and to the right we also get a nice view towards Golica / Koralpe. After a few minutes of descending through the vast meadow of Planinka, the path enters the forest and then descends a little more steeply. At a lower altitude, you will pass a small well, after which you will reach the Šiklarica preval, located at 1300 m above sea level. From the pass, gradually start climbing, and follow the signs at the crossroads. A little higher up, a short trail (2 minutes) branches off to the right to the sign of the two downed airmen. Continue climbing through the forest, but higher up the forest starts to thin out and you reach the next crossroads, located a few minutes below Jezerc vrh.
Go straight ahead here (right Ribniško jezero for 3 minutes) and climb to the nearby Jezerski vrh, which offers a fine view.
Rogla - Lovrenška jezera 1:25, Lovrenška jezera - Jezerski vrh 1:50.
