Ponikva/Hotunje - Sveta Marija Magdalena (Dramlje) (via Sveta Uršula)

Access to starting point:
A) With a train...Train station Ponikva.
B) With a car...We leave the highway at exit Dramlje and we continue in the direction of Šentjur. After three kilometers at the roundabout Dole we continue in the direction of the settlement Ponikva and after approximately seven kilometers, we reach the railway track. In front of the railway crossing, we can park safely. The train station is on the other side of the rail and a little to the right.

Path description:
On the asphalt road which goes along the stream we continue in the direction of the settlement Zagaj pri Ponikvi. After about a kilometer and a half, the asphalt pavement changes into a macadam and we follow it through the forest. Soon we reach a smaller settlement of houses and with good markings we continue through the yard one of the homesteads on a meadow path. A meadow path passes into the forest and then leads us past a lot of ponds and through the forest, we follow the path a little higher to the chapel. From the chapel we continue through Razbor, at the first crossing we go left and then soon right downwards below the road viaduct, where we also cross a smaller watercourse, and we pass on the other side of the highway. We continue through a meadow, through a yard of a homestead and by a wooden fence with horses we reach the main part of Vodule. From the flat part of Vodule follows an ascent on an asphalt road and further on narrower paths in the arms of vineyards/vineyard cottages. Higher, we reach a crossing, right St Uršula and hut Dom PD Dramlje in the former parish house. Of course because of the proximity of good hundred meters we make a visit and further we go downwards or left from the crossing into the valley towards Dramlje.
On an asphalt road which is constantly descending and is easy to follow we soon right by the path reach the church of St Ilija. Centuries ago the church was the main parish church and the headquarters of parish of Dramlje. Today it is well renovated and a pride to settlements between Celjsko hribovje and Konjiška gora/Žička kartuzija.
After a short visit we continue good hundred meters in descent and at the crossroad, we continue left in the direction of the center of Dramlje or Svetelka, right leads an asphalt road to Pletovarje or Straža na gori (through the mountain pass also Žička kartuzija). After a good hundred meters, we go again right into the center above the school or monument NOB...at the cooperative store we go left and at the cemetery right. Further, we reach the end of our tour, which is seen from far.
