We drive into the center of Dravograd (to here from Maribor through the valley Dravska dolina or from Velenje through Slovenj Gradec), where signs for Ojstrica point us on the road which after 6.5 km brings us to the church of St. John the Baptist on Ojstrica. Only few 10 meters after the church we come to a crossroad, where we continue sharply right in the direction of Sveti Urban. At the next crossroads we follow the road towards the mentioned church, until we get to a gate near of which we park on a parking lot by the road.

From the gate we continue the ascent on the road which is moderately ascending and after few minutes it brings us to a crossroad, where we continue right (unmarked). The road ahead in light ascent, crosses slopes towards the east.
