Brzika - Ravnocerje

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Rogaška Slatina, then continue driving towards Rogatec. In Rogatec, at the roundabout we turn left in the direction of Ptuj, then drive on the main road to the Brzika pass, where we notice red hiking signposts, next to which we park at a suitable place.
B) We drive to Majšperk, then follow the signs for Stoperce and Rogatec. After Stoperce the road starts to ascend more steeply, and we follow it to the Brzika pass, where we notice red hiking signposts, next to which we park at a suitable place.

Route description:
From the starting point, we continue a few dozen strides on the asphalt road towards Stoperce, then turn left onto a side road marked with signs for Ložno. Next follows a short ascent through the forest, then the road flattens and leads through the yard of a homestead. Behind the homestead, we descend along a marked cart track, which lower down transitions into the forest. At the forest entrance, we leave the track and continue slightly left onto a footpath, ascending again. Next follows a short descent, where we cross the route of a high-pressure gas line, then ascend more steeply for a few minutes. Higher up, we bypass an unnamed 499-meter-high peak on the left, as shown on maps, followed by a moderate descent, then an ascent to the next unnamed peak. From there, we descend slightly, and lower down we reach a cart track, which we follow to the tourist farm Ložno, where we continue right towards Boč (left to church of Our Lady of Loreto in Ložno, 5 minutes).
Next follows a few minutes of moderate ascent, then the path enters the forest, where it crosses the slopes to the left along a cart track. A little further, we approach a few houses, and by a fence, we reach a road, descending in a few minutes to an asphalt road, which we follow to the right. Next follows some walking on the asphalt road, passing under a high-voltage power line, after which a path from Okrepčevalnica Zelena dolina joins from the right.
Next follows an ascent on the asphalt road, from which a nice view of the surrounding hills occasionally opens up, and higher up, the road flattens and leads us past a chapel to the hamlet Ravnocerje.
Here, we go behind the homestead on the right, turning right onto a marked cart track, which we follow to ascend to a marked junction, where we join the path from Cerovec pod Bočem.
The path ahead ascends diagonally on a cart track, and when we reach the ridge, we leave the marked path which leads further towards Boč and we continue sharply to the right on an unmarked cart track, on which in approximately three minutes of additional walking, we get to the top of Ravnocerje, from which some views open up.
