Dolina Radeljskega potoka (Razdevšek) - Bricnik

Access to starting point:
From the road Dravograd - Maribor, in Radlje ob Dravi, from the intersection at the Lidl store, we drive in the direction of the center of the settlement and Radeljski prelaz. After the intersection, we drive past the Hofer store, then we go left in the direction of the settlement Sv. Trije Kralji. A little further, we go right, again in the direction of Sv. Treh Kraljev, then we drive along Samostanska ulica, and at the intersections, we stick to the road which leads along the Radeljski potok. A little higher we arrive at an intersection, by which there are numerous signposts, and we choose the right road in the direction of the hunting cottage. Further on, we drive through the valley of the Radeljski potok to the homestead Razdevšek. We park a little away from the homestead on a suitable place by the road.

Path description:
From the homestead Razdevšek we continue on the forest road, on which we quickly ascend to the spot where signs for sv. Primož nad Muto and Podlipje direct us left onto a cart track that begins to ascend along the torrent stream. Initially we ascend diagonally parallel to the stream, where we must cross a strip of fallen trees (March 2019), higher up the steep cart track turns right, levels out and leaves the gorge. A few minutes of traversing follow, at a smaller junction we choose the upper left cart track, on which we quickly step out of the forest onto a larger hayfield. Across the hayfield we ascend to an interesting hunting observation post, from it along the edge of the forest we ascend to the Hunting Cottage Radlje ob Dravi, from which a nice view opens towards Pohorje.

We bypass the hunting cottage on the left side, then from the road we go onto a marked cart track that ascends diagonally to the left. For some time we ascend easily through the forest, then the forest ends and the path takes us to the homestead Navšnik, where we join a better-trodden path from Radlje ob Dravi.

We continue sharply right and begin to ascend diagonally along the macadam road, from the nearby intersection we go left. A diagonal ascent to the left follows, during which a road branches left towards the homestead Pušej. We continue straight, and when we reach the ridge, we reach a marked junction.
We continue straight towards Bricnik (sharply right Sv. Trije Kralji), initially with nice views, then the road temporarily enters the forest. When after the eco island we arrive at a marked junction, we continue slightly left onto a marked but less visible path that ascends across the hayfield to the homestead Zgornji Pernat (sharply left homestead Dobnik, left Zavetišče Onuk - Glavar, straight sv. Anton, right leads a cart track into the forest). Before the homestead we bypass the chapel on the right, behind the homestead we ascend across the hayfield to the edge of the forest, where the path becomes clearer again and enters the forest. Through the forest we initially ascend more steeply, then we reach the eastern to northeastern ridge of Bricnik, along which we ascend gently to moderately through the forest. The path, surrounded by blueberries, at junctions we follow in the direction of the blazes, along it we walk all the way to the 1017 m high Bricnik.
