Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Gederovci (to here from Radenci or Murska Sobota) and we continue driving in the direction of Kuzma. Immediately, when we get to the settlement Sotina we turn left in the direction of Sotinski breg and Austria, and at the next crossroad, we go straight in the direction of Austria. Sotina soon ends, and we drive also past the quarry, and then we already get to the border crossing Sotina, in front of which we park on an appropriate place.
B) We drive into Kuzma (to here from the settlement Grad, Mačkovci or Petrovci), and then we continue driving towards Sotina and Austria. When Kuzma ends follows a relatively short ascent, and then a descent, where at the crossroad with the priority road we continue left (right - Austria and border crossing Kuzma). Further, we quickly get to Sotina, and we continue to the end of the settlement, where we go right in the direction of Sotinski breg and Austria, and at the next crossroad, we go straight in the direction of Austria. Sotina soon ends, and we drive also past the quarry, and then we already get to the border crossing Sotina, in front of which we park on an appropriate place.
Path description:
From the border crossing, we return on the road approximately 200 meters towards Sotina, and at the road sign 2 km, we go sharply to the left on a cart track which ascends diagonally. The cart track soon crosses the route of a cycling downhill track, which we carefully cross, and then we continue on a cart track which a little ahead turns right and again brings us near the downhill track, where it vanishes. We continue left and we are ascending by the track (for our safety and the safety of cyclists, we do not walk on the track), higher when the slope flattens we reach another cart track which takes us out of the forest. Next follows some easy walking and from the left joins also a marked path from the border crossing Sotina, and we continue straight and in two minutes of additional walking, we get to a lookout tower on Sotinski breg.
