Hrastovec - Skalni vrh (Vodemla) (on ridge)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Žalec, and then we continue driving in the direction of Velenje. In the main roundabout (2nd roundabout) in Velenje, below the ski jumping hill, we continue straight (2nd exit) in the direction of Šoštanj - Mozirje. Then at the traffic light crossroad we turn right. We drive straight, over the railway track, uphill to the next roundabout. We choose 3rd exit in the direction of the town stadium. Follows next roundabout, in which we choose 1st exit in the direction of Škale - Graška gora. We drive past the stadium and past the Lake Škale to the settlement Škale. Next follows a crossroad, in which we turn right towards Cirkovce. We drive through the settlement Hrastovec to the signpost, which marks the end of the settlement.
We park here or higher by the road on an appropriate place.

Path description:
From the sign, which marks the end of the settlement Hrastovec, we go on the road upwards. After less than 100 meters we pay attention to the shaft, right by the road. Here we leave the road and we step on a meadow.
Approximately 100 meters we walk on the edge of the forest and then we turn left on the path in the forest.
We soon cross a forest cart track and we continue on the ridge. From here we further follow the yellow signs. We again cross a forest cart track. The path leads now on a wide ridge steeply uphill.
When we come to a clearing, a nice view opens up on the entire valley Šaleška dolina with hills at the back.
We can see Posavsko hribovje (from Gozdnik to Čemšeniška planina), Gora Oljka, Golte, Smrekovec, Raduha and Peca. A little further, the path on the ridge ends and joins the forest cart track.
We follow it past the feeding site and power line to the spot, where a sign for Skalni vrh points us left. We follow the signs. After approximately 5 minutes we get to the top.
