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. We go right on a cart track following the signs Šalek mountain trail (Šaleška planinska pot), and left on the road leads the path on Radojč.
Further, the path turns a little to the right and crosses slopes towards the east. Later, the cart track passes into a footpath which starts ascending and then it joins the road. We continue left on the road on which we are then for some time slightly ascending.
When the road ends we continue on a cart track past the farm. Further cart track path leads through the forest and crosses slopes below Ramšakov vrh towards the east.
When we come to a crossing on the eastern side of Ramšakov vrh we continue firmly to the left and we are for some time still ascending on a cart track. Later blazes from the cart track point us to the right on a footpath which is ascending towards the ridge.
When we reach a forested ridge we continue left and follows an ascent on the ridge to the top of Ramšakov vrh.
