Janževski Vrh (Uran) - Sveti Ignacij (Rdeči Breg) (via Brabar)

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 crossroad, we go on the left road, by which there are signs for Lovrenc na Pohorju, Ruše, Rdeči Breg and a road sign for Lehen na Pohorju (right - Janževski Vrh and Ribnica na Pohorju). Immediately after the crossroad, we cross the stream Velka and we get to the settlement Lehen na Pohorju, where we continue along the stream and past individual houses. When the valley widens a little we get to a smaller crossroad, from which we continue left in the direction of Rdeči Breg, Sveti Ignacij and hunting cottage (straight - driving road to the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju). Only few 10 strides ahead a normal marked path branches off to the left to the church of St. Ignacij, and we continue straight, on the road, by which we further notice some local marks (marks lead to the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju). The path ahead leads us through Brabarjev graben, where we at first still walk past houses, and higher the road passes into the forest and it starts ascending steeper. Higher, we reach a smaller crossroad, where we continue sharply left (straight - homestead Zgornji Povh) and we diagonally ascend to a smaller saddle, where we join the marked path from Lovrenc na Pohorju.
From the saddle, where on the right there is a religious symbol, we continue slightly right from the left road, where we continue on a cart track (we go on a cart track which is situated on the opposite side of the cross).
The path ahead leads us on a cart track, by which blazes are quite rare, and a little ahead, when we reach a bit wider cart track we continue right (if we continue left the cart track quickly ends), at first a little downwards, and when we get closer to the road, we go straight and we still continue on a cart track. Few steps we walk on a wider cart track, and then we go slightly left on a steeper cart track which soon comes out of the forest, where we notice signs for the church of St. Ignacij. We continue also through a lane of a forest and then we get to homestead Brabar, where we get again closer to a macadam road. We bypass the homestead on the left side, and then we go slightly right and we ascend to the edge of the forest, where the path splits.
We continue on a slightly left cart track, by which there are signs for Sveti Ignacij (straight - hunting cottage Glančnik), and further follow few crossings, where we choose the cart track which is ascending, and at few crossings we can also notice signs or faded blazes. Higher, the path becomes more panoramic, and at the religious symbol we reach an asphalt road which we follow to the left.
The path ahead leads us also past the homestead Žumar, and behind it from the crossroad we continue slightly right towards Sveti Ignacij. We continue on a macadam road which crosses a lane of a forest and then with nice views, we on the right side bypass also the homestead Hleb, and behind it we quickly get to the church of St. Ignacij.
