Path description:
From the mountain hut Koča na Pesku few 10 meters we continue on the asphalt road towards Rogla, and then we continue right on a cart track in the direction of Rogla. We continue for some time on a gentle cart track, immediately after we cross a smaller stream we continue left on a little steeper footpath which is then ascending through the forest. Higher, the footpath gradually flattens and brings us in a gradually more thin forest. From the spot, when the forest gets thinner, to the lookout tower on Rogla separates us only a short walk.
If there's no danger of storms, we can on our own responsibility ascend also on the mentioned tower, from which a nice view opens up on a larger part of Pohorje, and in good visibility also on Karawanks, Kamnik Savinja Alps and Triglav.
