Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Žalec, and then we continue driving towards Velenje. Still before Velenje, we leave the main road, because signs for Vinska Gora point us to the right on a local road, and already after few meters it brings us to the next crossroad. Here we continue left in the direction of the church of St. John the Baptist, we follow the ascending road to the parking lot, by the already mentioned church.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the church, we continue on the asphalt road and at the crossroad, we continue left. After few ten meters, blazes point us to the left upwards on a narrower road. Later, the road slightly descends, and then we soon continue right into the forest. Next follows traversing on a narrow footpath through the forest, which quickly brings us to a crossing below Gonžarjeva peč. Right leads very demanding climbing path, and we continue left and for a short time, we still cross a slope towards the west. We are soon at the crossing again and this time we continue right upwards.
The path then starts ascending and also slope is becoming increasingly steep. Follows only the last ascent to the vantage point, where from the right side joins the climbing path. In the last part, the path is also secured with a fence.
From the vantage point, we continue through the forest by the fence upwards. After a short ascent, we come out of the forest on pastures from where a view opens up on Radojč and neighbouring Ramšakov vrh. From pastures, the path brings us on the road on which we continue right to the farm Gonžar.
At the crossroad at the farm, we continue left on the macadam road and we are quickly again at the crossing. Right leads Šalek mountain trail, and we still continue on the road. At the next crossroad, we continue slightly left and the path brings us to one more mountain farm. Here the path turns sharply right and starts ascending through the forest. Later, the path joins the cart track which brings us to a clearing.
Here the path turns right and again starts ascending a little steeper. We soon come on a forested ridge where we continue right and follows only a shorter ascent to the top of Radojč.
From the top, we continue on the ridge and start descending a little. The path brings us to a crossing on the northern side of the ridge, where we continue right upwards towards the ridge. On the ridge, we then continue left and after few shorter ascents and descents we reach Ramšakov vrh.
