From the road Maribor - Dravograd we drive to the settlement Brezno, where we park in the settlement. Best at the cemetery near the parish church of St. Mary of the Assumption.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the main road and at the pedestrian crossing we carefully cross it. On the other side of the road, we go right and we continue on the asphalt path which continues between the river Drava and the main road. When after few minutes, at the bus stop we return to the main road, we once again carefully cross it and then we go on a side road which ascends by some houses and where we notice the first mountain signpost for Remšnik.
At the right turn, we leave the road and we continue straight on a marked path which continues along the stream Remšniški potok. Higher, we go over a small bridge and on a footpath we ascend past the house, and behind the house the road widens into a cart track, and even a little higher it widens into a macadam road. Next follows a little longer ascent on a macadam road which is ascending by small waterfalls and rapids of the stream Remšniški potok.
Higher, we get to a holiday cottage, where we go on a narrower right road which we follow past another house to the right turn, where we leave the road. Here we go slightly right on a marked footpath (right on the road - homestead Spodnji Golen) and we steeply ascend through the forest, and after the farm Spodnji Golen we reach the cart track which we follow to the left. For a short time, we are ascending on a forested ridge and then blazes lead us left on a slope, where the path flattens. After few minutes of crossing, near the house we reach another road, and we go right and we are again considerably ascending. We follow this road to the church of St. Jurij on Remšnik.
We bypass the church on the left side and we continue past the inscription box, POŠ Remšnik to the nearby crossroad, from where we go straight (right road goes to Brezno).
From the crossroad, we ascend also past the chapel and we quickly get to the next crossroad, from which we continue straight towards Kapunar (left - Vas). We continue past few more houses, from which a nice view opens up back towards the church of St. Jurij, and the road then passes into the forest, through which it continues few minutes. When we leave the forest we go past few more houses, and then we get to the farm Helbel, where the path splits.
We continue straight (possible also right, the paths higher at homestead Zgornji Kočnik join) and we follow the blazes. Also higher we follow the blazes, and turn-offs of the roads lead to the nearby homesteads.
At the homestead Zgornji Murn we reach the marked crossing, where we join the path which leads from Sveti Urban, and we continue straight, where we cross a lane of a forest. After crossing the forest from the right joins also the already mentioned path, which from our branched off at the farm Helbel.
We continue on the upper road in the direction of Sveti Pankracij and a stamp at Mravljak, on which we are short time ascending, and then we go left on a marked cart track, on which we ascend to the farm Mravljak, from which a nice view opens up towards the church of St. Pankracij.
After the farm we continue past the business building on the path Pot svetega Pankracija, which in few minutes brings us on the border ridge, where joins the Austrian path or the path from the hut Kapunerhütte.
We continue slightly right, at first still a little downwards, and a little after the chapel, in a minute of additional walking, we ascend to the church of St. Pankracij, from which a beautiful view opens up mainly towards Austria, and for even more beautiful view we can in the summer time ascend on a lookout tower.
