Žekovec - Boskovec

Access to the starting point:
First, go to Mozirje, where you will go in the route "Golte" at the roundabout. After a 4 km drive, you will arrive in the village of Žekovec at the bottom station of the Golte cable car and park there.

Path description:
The route starts where the one-way road at the bus stop turns left downhill. Go left along the road over the Zagradiška Pusa. Soon the path turns right off the road over Zagradiška puša and after about 10 minutes joins the path past the weekend houses. The trail then leads along the road past the Kugler farm to a cross on the right hand side of the road. At the cross the path turns left up into the forest. Just below the cross there is a well with drinking water. A little higher up, cross the road twice more, go past another cross and come out on the road again. Here, go left across the meadow into the wods. A little higher, at the sign for Sv. Radegunda, you will come to an asphalted road and continue left along it. Soon you will reach the farmer Kebru, where you turn right between the buildings and go straight up the meadow, crossing the road again. When you come to a thin forest above, there is drinking water on the right. A little higher up, go right in the pasture and, when the path joins the path past the NOB monument, continue left past the cattle stall onto the road to Golte, which takes you almost to Planinska planina. When you see a short ravine on the right with traces of an avalanche, turn right into the forest. The path through the forest climbs moderately and after a few minutes leads us to a small crossroads where we have two options to continue. You can either continue straight ahead on the steep path or to the right on the sloping path. After a few minutes, the two paths merge and lead us higher up to a beautiful viewpoint with a bench by the side. There is only a moderate climb of about 10 minutes to Mozirska koča.

From the hut, continue left along the road to the chapel at which the signs for Boskovec (Severjeva pot) direct us slightly right into the forest. After a few steps to the right, cross the grazing fence, continue up through the forest, cross a short slope, and then a gentle ascent leads to a minor forest road, which leads us to a turnoff to a viewpoint over the valley (5 minutes), and we continue left along the road. After a few minutes, cart track turns left up towards Boskovec. The climb up the cart track does not take long as the markings quickly direct us right onto a footpath which leads us through parts of the path that are quite overgrown to a clearing just below the summit. Continue along the right side of the clearing, where the path quickly leads us into the forest and then to a crossroads. A signpost for Boskovec directs us to the right on a path which climbs moderately and after a few dozen steps leads us to the summit.
At the top there is a lookout tower which gives us a nice view. You can return to the valley by following the route of approach, or you can follow the Sever path to Mozirska koča or the hotel at the top station of the cable car to Golte. There you can decide whether to descend on foot or take the gondola down to the valley. In the summer season, you can visit the Alpine garden-alpinetum at Mozirska koča.
