Lovrenc na Pohorju - Lovrenška jezera

Access to starting point:
A) With a car we drive from Maribor in the direction towards Dravograd. Approximately 20 km from Maribor we turn left on the bridge over the river Drava. Below the railway bridge in hamlet Ruta we continue driving straight. At the next crossroad, we turn right, and then we drive through the hamlet Puščava. Then the road brings us in the settlement Kurja vas, where at the crossroad we stick straight. On bottom side we see very known factory scythes and sickles, after approx. 2 km we get to the center of the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju, where we can already park on an appropriate place or we continue to the church of St. Lovrenc, where there is also enough space for parking.
B) First, we drive to Dravograd, and then we continue driving towards Maribor. Few kilometers after the settlement Ožbalt we turn right on the bridge over the river Drava. Further, we follow the description above.

Path description:
We start near the church of St. Lovrenc. We go on the road in the direction of Pesek past the cemetery, which is on the left side. Higher, at the crossroad by Hojnik chapel signpost points us straight. Above the settlement, at the turn we turn left on a footpath which goes in bushes. After few steps, we step on the road, only few meters ahead, by the edge of the forest, we turn right on a side ridge, which goes all the way to proximity of lakes Lovrenška jezera. We walk past farms Dešnik, Bednik and Kasjak, and the path several times crosses a forest road, higher turns below the left edge of Kasjakov breg 1014 meters and Fakov kogel 1188 meters on Recenjak. After a time we step on a clearing Vrelenk 1165 meters, where there is a nice view. Sometimes here used to stand old hut Kasjakova koča, from which only foundations are left.
The path ahead again leads in the forest and we soon cross the forest road Pesek-Pesnik, where we are already near upper plateau Planinka on the northern edge of lakes Lovrenška jezera. Further, the path brings us out of the forest, where views are already opening up towards the north on Jezerski vrh and north-west all the way to Kamnik Alps. We soon reach the crossroad of the mountain paths, where joins the path from the direction of the mountain hut Ribniška koča. We turn left and after approx. 30 minutes of additional walking, we reach the next crossroad. Here is again a crossing, where joins the path from the direction Rogla. Signpost points us again to the left, from here and to lakes isn't far anymore. On wooden pavement and on a slope upwards in additional 5 minutes, the path brings us to lakes Lovrenška jezera.
