Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the path towards Jelovice and Donačka gora, so that we at first walk on the road, on which we came to the starting point, and still before crossing the stream and before the bus stop we go left (unmarked) on a meadow, through which we ascend to the edge of the forest, where marked cart track appears.
Poorly beaten cart track ascends diagonally towards the right and soon changes into at first a quite steep footpath. Higher, we get to holiday cottages, by which we ascend to an asphalt road, where we go left. Next follows a walk past few more houses, and then we for some time continue on a cart track, and then we reach another road. We continue on the ridge and a little ahead we join the path from Stogovci.
We short time continue on the asphalt road, and when the road splits, we continue straight on a footpath, on which in few minutes we ascend to the church of St. Bolfenk.
From the church, we continue towards the south and we descend on the macadam road to the nearby chapel, where we reach an asphalt road.
We continue left towards the top of Jelovice and Donačka gora (right - we descend to Stogovci) and we continue on the asphalt road which is turning towards the right. Already after few minutes we get to the inscription box (control point number 8 on Haloze mountain trail), and we continue on the road which leads us on the eastern slopes of Kerješetov vrh. At the next crossroad, at NOB monument we continue right, and then signs for the peak of Jelovice point us to the right on a footpath. Next follows an ascent through the forest, and after few minutes we join a cart track, on which we continue diagonal ascent. When we reach the ridge, which connects the peak of Jelovice with Kerješetov vrh we go left (right - Kerješetov vrh) and we step on a worse road. We continue on a worse road which is at first gentlly and then moderately ascending. The nearby meadow, from which a nice view opens up we bypass on the left side, and after the nearby cottage we get to a marked crossing right next to the peak of Jelovice.
Here we go right on a bad unmarked footpath, on which in few steps we reach the highest peak of Haloze.
Naraplje - Sveti Bolfenk 1:00, Sveti Bolfenk - peak of Jelovice 0:40.
