Zgornje Poljčane - Dom na Boču (via Baba)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Slovenske Konjice and Poljčane. In the first crossroad from the spot, when we left the highway, we continue left in the direction of Poljčane (right Slovenske Konjice). The road then runs through Draža vas, Žiče and Loče. In the village Loče we come to a roundabout, where we continue "straight" in the direction of Poljčane (exit from the roundabout isn't marked). A little further, the road brings us on a bigger crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Zgornje Poljčane (left Poljčane). We follow this road to the village, where the road sign for Boč points left upwards. Further, we drive to first signposts by which there is a parking lot on which we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue right on the path in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Boču over Babe. The path which runs through the forest already starts relatively steeply ascending and after approximately 15 minutes of ascent crosses a road. The steepness of the path after additional few minutes of ascent decreases. Next follows a shorter crossing of the slopes on a wide path, and then the path for a short time moderately ascends. A little higher, the path brings us on a wide cart track which we follow to the right and then we soon leave it. Further, blazes point us to the left upwards. After an initial steep meters from the spot, when we left the cart track the path is barely ascending to the spot, when it brings us on the road. Further, follows 5 minute walk on the road that runs in the middle of a large meadow to the mountain hut, which is situated on the other side of extensive meadow.
