Rogla (Hotel Planja) - Rogla

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Maribor we take the exit Slovenske Konjice and continue driving towards the mentioned settlement. From Slovenske Konjice we continue towards Zreče, and further we follow the road in the direction of Rogla. When we get to Rogla we park on a large parking lot near the hotel Planja.
B) First, we drive to Lovrenc na Pohorju (to here from the road Maribor - Dravograd), and then we continue driving towards Rogla and Koča na Pesku. Further macadam road then first brings us to Mašinžaga and then also to the mountain hut Koča na Pesku. From Koča na Pesku we continue on the asphalt road, on which we then ascend to a large parking lot near hotel Planja.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road towards the mountain hut Koča na Pesku. The road at first leads between the football field on the left and the church on the right. Immediately when the field ends we leave the road and continue slightly left on an initially parallel mountain path. The path ahead leads us past the NOB monument, after which we gradually enter a sparse spruce forest. There follow a few junctions, where we follow the signs for the tower on Rogla. A fairly level path, which runs along the cross-country ski trail, after approximately 15 minutes of walking from the starting point brings us to the summit of Rogla, where a 30-meter-high lookout tower stands.
If there is no danger of storms, we can climb the mentioned tower on our own responsibility, from which a nice view opens up over a larger part of Pohorje, and with good visibility also on the Karawanks, Kamnik-Savinja Alps and Triglav.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Koča na Pesku ( 20 min)
