Kozjak nad Pesnico - Sveti Urban above Maribor

Access to starting point:
We drive into Spodnja Kungota, and then we follow the road towards Zgornja Kungota. In the settlement Kozjak nad Pesnico we turn left towards Gaj and Urban and then we park on an appropriate place. Best somewhere on part, where the road passes into the forest.

Path description:
From the main road Spodnja Kungota - Zgornja Kungota we go on the road which leads towards Gaj nad Mariborom and Sveti Urban. The path at first leads on the flat part, and by the edge of the forest we continue on the right wider road. 50 meters ahead we go left and then we start ascending through the forest, and soon blazes point us to the right on a footpath which ascends to the ruins of the castle Pahtejev grad, which we bypass on the left side. After the castle we gradually return on the asphalt road, on which we then continue to a crossing, where from the right side also the path from Zgornja Kungota joins.
When we return into the forest we again leave the road because blazes point us to the right, where we for some time ascend steeper. A little further, the path flattens and in few steps descends to the road which we reach at a smaller crossroad.
We continue on a marked road which few more minutes continues through the forest, and when we leave the forest, we continue on a panoramic ridge, where the path leads us past few houses. Further from the ridge we again pass on a slope and we get to a triangular crossroad in the middle of which there is a religious symbol.
Here we go left (straight - Gaj nad Mariborom) on the road, where an asphalt quickly ends, and then with nice views, we ascend to an asphalt road, where we join the driving road towards Sveti Urban.
We continue left and we pass into the forest, where we cross slopes. We quickly get to a crossroad, where a road branches off to the right towards the farm Hlade, and we continue straight and we soon leave the forest. Next follows a relatively short ascent past individual houses, and higher we already quite from close see the church of St. Urban. The path also ahead leads with nice views on surroundings, and from the left joins also a marked path from Maribor (path via Brunček).
We continue straight, and we leave the asphalt road at unmarked turn-off, where the path branches off to the right, which leads towards Sveti Urban.
Next follows a shorter diagonal ascent on a panoramic slope, and then we reach another road which we follow to the right. We walk on the road a minute more and we get to the church of St. Urban, from which a nice view opens up towards Maribor and surrounding hills.
