Path description:
From the parking lot we on the pedestrian crossing carefully cross the main road, and then we go on the road towards Sveti Florijan, and soon by the path, we notice red mountain signposts for the chapel Grilova kapela and Boč. We at first walk on a sidewalk, and after few minutes, the path turns towards the east and only a little further splits. Before the chapel we continue on the left road, by which the blazes continue. We continue between some houses of settlement Cerovec pod Bočem, where we follow the blazes, and higher the asphalt path brings us into gorge of the stream Tržiški potok. We for some time continue through the mentioned gorge, and then the road turns sharply left and gradually goes away from the stream.
A little higher, signs for the chapel Grilova kapela and Boč point us to the left on a side road (straight - ranch Stojnšek), on which we are still ascending.
Higher, we go once again left and then past well Grilov vodnjak we come out of the forest, where on the left, by the edge of the forest we notice the chapel Grilova kapela.
Here we go right in the direction of Boč and Ložna and we return into the forest. Further, we are ascending on slopes of Grilov vrh (612 meters), and higher we reach a larger clearing on the northern side of the mentioned summit.
Here from the southern part of the clearing a view opens up, which reaches all the way to Kamnik Savinja Alps, and we go right, where we on the right side bypass an older wooden cottage. Follows only a shorter ascent on a cart track and we reach the forest road, where the marked path splits.
We continue right in the direction of Ložno and Rudijev dom (straight - Boč) and we continue on a macadam road which crosses slopes towards the right. During the crossing a view opens up a little, and at the smaller crossroad, we go straight. After some time the road starts considerably descending, and still before we reach the nearby house in hamlet Ravnocerje we go left on a steep road, on which we ascend to the nearby holiday cottage. The holiday cottage we bypass on the left side, and then through the forest we ascend to a marked crossing, where we go left in the direction of Boč (right - Ložno and Rudijev dom).
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 a view opens up a little.
