When we get to the settlement Juršinci at the roundabout at store Mercator we turn right, and then we follow the signs for cemetery and parish church of St. Lovrenc. We park on a parking lot above the parish church.

We further follow the signs for Ptuj, and on the main road, we drive to the settlement Juršinci, where at the roundabout we turn "left" towards the cemetery and parish church of St. Lovrenc. We park on a parking lot above the parish church.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we return to a roundabout by the main road and we go on the road in the direction of the settlement Dragovič and marked path towards Hvaletinci and Vitomarci. The path ahead leads us past few more houses, and then we for some time moderately ascend, and when the road flattens we go at a crossroad right, on the road, by which the blazes continue. Next follows a relatively short ascent to the settlement Dragovič, and at the chapel, which is situated on a smaller hill we go right downwards. During the descent at the smaller crossroad we go slightly right, and lower, when the road flattens three more times to the right. After the children's playground we leave the asphalt road and we go left on a macadam path in the direction of Hvaletinci and Vitomarci. Only a little further, the road passes into the forest, and we continue there to a smaller crossing, where we go slightly right on a cart track which still continues through the forest. When we get to a bigger field, we for few steps leave the forest and then still before the field we go left into the forest, through which we start gradually descending. Lower, we leave the forest and on a cart track and past the house we walk to a plague column, after which we reach an asphalt road which we follow to the left. We few minutes continue through the settlement Hvaletinci, where we go past the chapel, which we bypass on the left side, and after a smaller bridge, we go right on a cart track. We for some time continue on a cart track which leads us by the nearby stream and then the path turns left and few minutes ahead joins the asphalt road which we follow to the left. When only a little further we reach a little wider road we go right, and when the road splits, we go left towards the center of Vitomarci (right - Cerkvenjak). Next follows an ascent on a sidewalk, where we go past few houses and primary school, and behind the school the sidewalk ends and we continue by the edge of the road. Higher, we reach center of the settlement, and past few buildings we continue to the church of St. Andraž or Andrej in Vitomarci.
