Path description:
After a shorter sightseeing of the complex Žička kartuzija we go right upwards, there are signposts for Slovenske Konjice, Stolpnik and Tri križi. In the first part there is a forest path, in the main part there are meadows, pastures, fields, homesteads and holiday cottages on partly an asphalted and macadam path. There are quite a few views. At the crossing Trije križi (three crosses) we go left, right towards Skala and we soon reach Tri križi.
At Tri križi we continue left towards Stolpnik and after about good hundred meters we go right in the direction of Krniški rob and on a diverse forest road we reach Grofov štant.
From Grofov štant upwards on a forest path we reach the peak Stolpnik with a lookout tower.
From Stolpnik we descend with the help of signposts in the direction of Črešnjice. A very well-marked classic mountain path, which here and there because of the logging changes also into forest cart track. The forest of deciduous trees is prevailing, here and there also coniferous trees and partly rocky terrain..
The described path measures in distance around 9000 meters, 670 positive altitude meters and 570 negative altitude meters. From Črešnjice there is an option for a descent on the asphalt path/road to Žička kartuzija.
