Spelunca Cave on the Balunjača Trail

Highlight • Cave

The path across Balunjača in a moderate ascent crosses the slopes of Boč to the rocky cliffs that we see in front of us. The path crosses the foot of these cliffs with the help of guards. The passage under the cliffs is not difficult, but it is slightly exposed to falling rocks. At the foot of the cliffs we can see some smaller caves, which brighten up the day especially for younger mountaineers.

Boč Summit (978 m)

Highlight • Summit

Boč is a mountain in the Bočko Mountains, southeast of Poljčane. Bočko, also the Konjiška pogorje, stretches from the gorge of the river Paka near Huda Luknja in the west to the western edge of Varaždinska Podravina. The mountain range descends from Paški Kozjak with Basališče (1272 m) in the west to Ravna gora (682 m) in Croatia. Geologically and mountainously, it is the easternmost part of the Karavanke. The barrel is built of limestone and Paleozoic rocks. The slopes are steep and overgrown mostly with beech forests. On Boč there are habitats of rare Alpine and Dinaric plants, among which stand out Easter, fragrant wolf, Turkish lily and beautiful primrose. The habitat of the Easter egg Na Ravni, which is the only one in Slovenia, was appointed a nature reserve by a decree of the Municipal Assembly of Šmarje pri Jelšah. Numerous karst phenomena can also be seen on Boč: caves, caves, sinkholes and valleys. Half an hour above the mountain lodge is in the cliffs on the western slope of Boč, the Balunjača cave, in which, according to folk tradition, lived insulted women, and later bandits, commanded by Orjaška Špelca. At the top, which is a narrow ridge in shape, there is a telecommunication tower and a 20 m high steel lookout set up by PD Poljčane. The first lookout tower was arranged in 1899 by local mountaineers in a basket of beech, whose horned branches were cut down, a stage for 10 people was placed on it and covered with a roof. From the tower there is an extensive view: in the north we can see eastern Pohorje, Dravsko polje and Slovenske gorice, in the east Haloško gričevje, Plešivec, Donačka gora, Macelj, Ravna gora and lvanščica, in the southeast Medvednica, in the south Kozjansko gričevje, Posavsko hribovje, Gorjanci and Gorjanci in the distance Snežnik, in the west Konjiška gora nearby, Stenica, Paški Kozjak, Uršlja gora and Peca, in clear weather also the Savinja Alps and Julian Alps, and in the northwest Pohorje with Rogla.

View Tower on Donačka Gora

Highlight • Viewpoint

The hill is between the last peaks in the Karavanke mountains before they pass through Donačka Gora and Macelj to the Pannonian Plain. The hill has two approximately equally high peaks, which are only five minutes walk away. On one there are transmitters and the army, while on the other for the mountaineering accessible summit there is a 20m high tower to open a beautiful view over much of eastern Slovenia.
