Rogljev mlin - Rogatec (via Lepenatka)

Access to the starting point:
From the Kranj side, drive towards Gornji grad. At the chapel about 100 m before Gornji grad, turn left for Sveti Lenart.
From the Styrian side, go through Gornji Grad and about 100 m after Gornji Grad turn right for Sveti Lenart. Continue along the asphalt road for about 3 km and then along the macadam road for another 3 km to the eroded Rogljev Mill on the right side of the road and park there.

Path description:
We park the car a few metres in front of the Roglje mill by the Kanolščica stream. Then we continue along the road to Sv. Lenart, but only for a short time. A little further on from the bridge, over which the road to farmer Rogl leads to the right, turn left at the electricity pole onto the track. The lane, which takes us a little higher up and leads back to the road, is at times quite overgrown. Continue along the road until you reach the church of St Lenart. Before the church, go left for Lepenatka. Just above the church the path crosses the road and climbs quite steeply until you reach the road again. After a few metres, go left along the more rutted road. Follow this road to a steel cable in a small clearing. You can pass the steel cable on the left or on the right. Immediately after it, the path goes up a few steps through the forest and then on through the pasture to the top of Lepenatka. This part of the trail is very beautiful in spring, when many species of mountain flowers blom. In all seasons, it offers magnificent views.
From the top of Lepenatka, descend the grassy slope to Kal. As we descend, Rogatec is constantly in front of us. On Na Kalu, we can see the bivouac on the left between the trees.
From Kal, continue along the very difficult path to V. Rogac (another name for V. Rogatec). The trail goes from the pasture into the forest and after a short flat part immediately starts a very difficult steep exposed part of the trail. I recommend that anyone using walking poles puts them in a rucksack, as they can be more dangerous than useful if used incorrectly. After the lower climbing part, the route becomes easier in the upper part and it is already possible to use the poles safely. When we reach the top of Rogatec we are rewarded with an absolutely fantastic view. For the descent there is a nice variant past Zg. and Sp. Špeh, Kokalj and Roglja to Roglje Mill.
