Slovenske Konjice - Skala (gentle path)

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Maribor motorway, take the Slovenske Konjice exit and follow the road to the point. In the centre of Slovenske Konjice, leave the main road (continue left) and head towards the church, near which you will park in a large marked parking lot.

Path description:
From the church parking lot, continue along the pavement (westwards), which leads us after a few dozen metres to the school, where we see the mountain signs for Stolpnik. Continue left on the pavement, which climbs slightly and after a short ascent leads to the mountain signs in the immediate vicinity of the cemetery.
Here, continue straight ahead towards the Old Castle along the path that leads along the left side of the cemetery. At the top of the cemetery, leave the road and continue your ascent along the marked footpath, which climbs steeply. After a few minutes of ascent, the steepness eases and the path leads us out of the forest onto a macadam road, which we only cross (right Konjice Castle 5 minutes). The wide cart track path we walk on leads us in a few steps to a crossroads on the path, where the signpost directs us upwards to the left. After a few dozen steps, the situation repeats itself, the only difference being that the ascent is not continued along the cart track but along a footpath that climbs through the forest. Higher up, the path leads to the next road, where you continue left along the footpath in the direction of Skala. After a short further ascent, the path crosses the road mentioned a short time ago. The path that continues to climb crosswise quickly leads us to the next crossroads of the path, where we have two options for continuing. Chose the right easier (left very difficult climbing route), which after a further few minutes of cross-climbing with the help of a rope (not difficult) quickly leads us to the Skala lookout point.
