Access to starting point:
A) From the road Maribor - Dravograd, between HE Fala and HE Ožbalt we turn left towards Lovrenc na Pohorju (from the direction Dravograd we turn right). On the other side of Drava we start ascending along Radoljna, and at the marked crossroad, we go slightly right on the main road towards Lovrenc na Pohorju. When we get to the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju we follow the main road, and we park a little further from the parish church of St. Lovrenc, on a marked parking lot at the cemetery.
B) We drive into Ruše, and then we follow the road towards Lovrenc na Pohorju. In the settlement Činžat we get to a saddle, where the road starts descending, and lower we go left towards Lovrenc na Pohorju. When we get to the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju we follow the main road, and we park a little further from the parish church of St. Lovrenc, on a marked parking lot at the cemetery.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the main road through the upper part of the settlement, so that we bypass the cemetery on the right side. We at first walk on a sidewalk, and soon after the road sign, which marks the end of the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju we quickly get to the chapel Hojnikova kapela, where the sidewalk ends, and we continue right on a side road, by which there are signs for Koglerjev vrh (straight - Lovrenška jezera).
After the crossroad, we start lightly descending, and after crossing Bednikov jarek we start ascending steeper. We leave the asphalt road before the nearby homestead Kacajner and we continue left in the direction of a circular path (on the path straight, we can return).
We continue on the macadam road, from which we soon go right on a cart track which ascends steeper through a lane of a forest. Higher, we reach another cart track which ascends diagonally through a meadow, and then turns sharply to the right. Here we can continue straight on a little shorter and steeper path, which bypasses Ecological farm Šlaus-Kogler, or we can continue right and on a cart track we continue to the mentioned farm, where we go slightly left (to the right continues the circular path), and a little ahead from the farm both paths join.
From the juncture of both paths we in few steps get to the chapel, where the blazes end and which we bypass on the right side, and immediately after it we go left on a cart track. We continue on a cart track which is diagonally ascending through the forest, and when we higher reach the ridge, we go from the cart track sharply to the right on a footpath, on which in few minutes we ascend on the indistinct Koglerjev vrh.
