Access to starting point:
From the road Maribor - Dravograd, before the settlement Brezno we turn left (from the direction Dravograd right) in the direction of Podvelka, Ribnica na Pohorju and Ribniška koča. After the bridge over the river Drava we get to Podvelka, and the road further we follow in the direction of Ribnica na Pohorju. The path ahead brings us to the settlement Janževski Vrh, and through the valley of the stream Velka we drive to a crossroad at the inn and store Uran, where a road branches off to the left towards Lovrenc and Lehen na Pohorju. We park on a smaller settled parking lot by the crossroad.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue by the main road towards Ribnica na Pohorju, and we walk there a little less than 100 meters, then blazes point us sharply right on a newly made path, which at first steeply ascends. After few minutes, we reach the cart track, where the path flattens a little, and at the crossings we follow the blazes. A little higher we get to area, which was ravaged by strong winds, and because of the redevelopment, the path is ruined a little, therefore a little more caution is needed here, that we don't miss the right path. The path ahead brings us on a wider cart track, and there we step out of the forest and a little further we reach a lonely house of an abandoned homestead Radih.
We short time continue with nice views on Pohorje, and then the path which continues on the road, passes into the forest. Few minutes we are ascending diagonally towards the left and then at the farm Urnavt we continue right on a marked cart track. Next follows an ascent on a cart track, where at the crossings we again follow the blazes, and then we step out of the forest on panoramic grassy slopes, where the footpath vanishes. We continue straight upwards towards the nearby house, which we bypass on the right side, and when we reach the cart track, we follow it to the right. From the cart track, behind a smaller garage we go left and we ascend by the edge of the forest, where the trail blaze points us left into the forest. Next follows an ascent through a short lane of a forest and then on the upper grassy slope in a minute or two, we get to the church and hunting cottage on Janževski vrh.
