The path ahead leads us through Spodnje and Zgornje Hoče, Slivniško Pohorje, and after the settlements we follow the signs for Areh, and higher up the signs for Mariborska koča and hotel Bellevue. We park on the parking lot between the upper station of the funicular and hotel Bellevue.
B) We leave the Štajerska motorway at the exit for Slivnica and Rogoza, and then we follow the signs for the ski area Mariborsko Pohorje. We park on the periphery of the settlement Zgornje Radvanje, on a large parking lot at the foot of the ski area, and then we walk to the lower station of the funicular (the price of a return trip for an adult is 6 EUR - November 2022), with which we go to hotel Bellevue, where the described path begins.

Route description:
At the upper station of the funicular we notice hiking signposts, and we go right in the direction of Mariborska koča and Ruška koča na Arehu. A little further a short path branches off to the right towards the nearby church of St. Bolfenk, and we continue on a marked path which continues parallel with an asphalt road. On the mentioned path we ascend gently to moderately, and after a smaller statue of Mary the path splits.
Slightly to the left the first path towards Mariborska koča branches off, and we continue straight in the direction of the path towards a lookout tower. The path which runs on a macadam road then brings us out of the forest to a ski track, and a little ahead it splits. We continue on the steeper right ski track, beside which rare blazes continue, and on the ski slope we continue to the lookout tower on Mariborski razglednik.
We bypass the tower on the left side and continue on a cart track which passes into the forest. In the forest, the path splits, and we continue slightly left in the direction of Mariborska koča and Ruška koča na Arehu (slightly right - Pečke) and continue with mostly easy ascent. A little further slightly to the left the second path towards Mariborska koča also branches off, and we again continue straight and in a few minutes of light ascent arrive at the indistinct Ledinekov kogel, where we notice a radar tower.
