Ascent to Rogla

A challenging tour to the beautiful Rogla.
The route starts at Hotel Grof and continues through Polzela, Galicija and Hramše (a steep 400 m climb – with a 20% gradient), and then heads through Dobrna to Vitanje and Zreče. From there, a longer 15 km climb leads up to Rogla.
We descend back to Zreče along the same path, and then follow the main road through Stranice, Frankolovo, and Vojnik towards Lake Šmartinsko, returning to Grof via side roads.
