Access to the starting point:
a) From the route of Ljubljana, leave the motorway at Slovenske Konjice and drive through Žič, Loč and Zbelovo to Poljčane. At the crossroads, turn right in the direction of Zgornje Poljčane, where at the marked crossroads turn left uphill and drive to the parking area - the starting point for the mountain trails to Boč.
b) From Maribor, leave the motorway at Slovenska Bistrica, where signs point to Poljčane. Continue through the centre of Poljčane in the direction Zgornje Poljčane, where you turn left at a marked junction and drive up to the parking lot - the starting point for the hiking trails to Boč.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue up the asphalt road. Meadows, pastures, vineyards and three or four houses or farmhouses line the road for a few hundred metres. At the end of Zgornje Poljčane, the road turns into a forest, and we follow the asphalt all the way to the Mountain Home on Boč.
From the mountain lodge we continue along the asphalt road towards the Church of St Nicholas and the Easter Egg plant, and before the church we continue up to the left and down to the Easter Egg plant to the right. At the former small abandoned quarry, where there is a direction sign with the inscription Vrh Boča-Senčna pot 45 min. , continue along the narrower mountain path, which you follow higher up. The path is alternately narrower and also wider. Traceability of the trail is of course excellent due to the good marking and the high frequency of visitors to the trail. Higher up, it turns into a rockier area and in the last few hundred metres into a typical ridge approach to the summit. The summit is soon reached and after climbing to the lookout tower we are rewarded with excellent views near and far.
The length of the route described is about 5500 metres, 660 positive vertical metres and 40 negative vertical metres.
