Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Poljčane, then follow the signs for Majšperk and Makole. In the village of Stranske Makole or a little after Stranske Makole, turn right towards Makole, where you can park in the centre of the village, in the marked parking lot next to the cemetery.
b) Drive to Slovenska Bistrica, then turn onto the road in the direction of Makole. Follow the signs for Makole and park in the marked cemetery parking lot in the centre of the village.
c) From Ptuj, follow the signs for Majšperk, and when you arrive in Majšperk, follow the signs for Makole. When you arrive in Makole, park in the marked parking lot next to the cemetery.
Path description:
From the parking lot, walk to the main road and continue right to the nearby roundabout, from which you turn onto the road marked Jelovec pri Makolah and St Urban.
Continue along a slightly narrower road which leads you across the Jelovški brook. Makole ends a little further on, and we continue left from the junction with the cul-de-sac, where the first markings appear. We continue on the asphalt road, which climbs a little further through the forest, and then leads us past a few houses. The road then opens up to a beautiful view, and at a few junctions you can follow the signs and markings. Higher up, the road leads past the Chapel of St Urban, and we are still following the signs at a few junctions. After a while, we turn left off the tarmac road onto a dirt road, which descends a little as it passes, and we turn right onto cart track, which climbs along the edge of the forest. The way ahead takes us through the forest for a few minutes, and when we leave the forest we go right, passing the nearby farmhouse on the right, and when we reach the tarmac road we go left. Again there is some downhill, and at the Domišak farm the road returns to the forest and starts to climb. In the forest, turn right off the road onto cart track, which ascends crosswise. When you leave cart track, which gives you a nice view of Boč, take the road to the right (Plešivec on the left). Do not walk long on the road, as the signs direct you slightly left, to cart track, which ascends crosswise to the right, and higher up, at the crossroads, follow the route of the signs. Near the summit of Kisovec, the path starts to descend and leads to a less good road, which leads easily down to Formila.
