Bogojina - Bukovniško jezero (by road)

Access to starting point:
From Pomurska highway we go to the exit Gančani and follow the road ahead in the direction of Moravske Toplice. After few km of additional driving road brings us to a little bigger crossroad in Bogojina. Here we continue straight (left Moravske Toplice, right Lendava) and a little narrower road quickly brings us in the center of the village. We continue driving through the village, and we follow the signs for Plečnik church. Only a little before the mentioned church we will come on a smaller triangle crossroad, where we continue left towards the cemetery (straight Plečnik church). After a short further drive we get to the mentioned cemetery, in front of which we park on a well-settled parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we return to the triangular crossroad, and from there we continue on the road in the direction of the lake Bukovniško jezero. The road at first leads past famous Plečnik church in Bogojina, and then turns a little to the right and past some more 10 houses brings us to a crossroad, where we continue straight. Few 100 meters ahead we get to the next crossroad, where we continue left to few 10 meters distant crossroad at the information board of Goričko Nature Park. Here we continue straight, and then past pastures we get to the next crossroad, where from the left joins the marked path from Vršič, in and marked path towards the lake Bukovniško jezero branches off to the right, the latter continues with some ascents and descents through hills of surrounding village and is a little longer than path on the road.
At the mentioned crossroad, we continue straight on the main asphalt road which starts moderately ascending. Higher, we get to the hunting cottage of hunting society Bogojina, after which the road starts descending. Lower forest ends and the path brings us in the village Bukovnica, where past a smaller church we get to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of the lake Bukovniško jezero (left Ousišče). We continue through the village, and then at the next crossroad we again continue right in the direction of the lake Bukovniško jezero. We continue on a narrower asphalt road which leads us past few more houses, and then it changes into macadam, on which we start slightly descending. Further, the road turns to the left and through a meadow brings us to a crossroad, by the monument NOB, where we continue right. The road soon returns into the forest and it brings us to the information board near the lake Bukovniško jezero.
Here we continue right (possible also straight) and we continue on learning path which runs around the lake. For entire circle around the lake we need good 20 minutes.
