Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Ljutomer, and then we drive towards Ormož. When Ljutomer ends, at first the road branches off to the left in Podgradje, and we turn left at the next crossroad in the direction of the settlement Gresovščak (by the crossroad there are also signs for Pomurje mountain trail). The path ahead leads us on a little narrower asphalt road, by which we then park on an appropriate place.
B) We drive to Ormož, and then we follow the signs for Ljutomer. Further, we drive by the railway tracks, and when we go a little away from it, we soon get to a crossroad, where a road branches off to the right towards the settlement Gresovščak (by the crossroad there are also signs for Pomurje mountain trail). The path ahead leads us on a little narrower asphalt road, by which we then park on an appropriate place.
Path description:
On the road, we quickly get to Ljutomer ponds, and marked path bypasses them on the right side. From the road marked path soon turns right, and we walk on the road to the nearby crossroad, from where we continue left in the direction of tourist farm Frank-Ozmec (straight Gresovščak). The path ahead leads us between two ponds, after them we get to the next crossroad, where we continue right (left footpath number 7). The path ahead leads us through the valley Kumerska graba, where we go past previously mentioned tourist farm. Few minutes ahead, when on the left appears lane of a forest, and the road branches off to the right towards the nearby houses, we continue slightly left on a grassy cart track which starts ascending parallel with the main road. Cart track at first leads between pasture on the right and vineyard on the left and then passes into a lane of a forest and bushes. After few minutes of a diagonal ascent, we reach the macadam road, on which we then ascend to an asphalt road (to here possible also on the path number 7), and there we go past the nearby house to a bus stop Ilovci, where we go right in the direction of viticulture Krainz.
We continue on a macadam road which leads us past interesting rock, then path leads us partly through the forest, and partly among vineyards and individual houses. After a short descent, we get to a smaller saddle, where we go left (right dead-end road), and then we soon get to viticulture Krainz.
Further, we still walk on a macadam road, on two smaller crossroads we go right. A little further, we get to a hamlet with few houses, where for some time we step on asphalt. When the asphalt road turns right downwards (road descends to ponds), we continue straight on a macadam road, where after nearby house we notice signs for Jeruzalem, which point us to the left. Next follows a walk on a wide cart track, and the path still leads among vineyards, and where we go past some abandoned vineyards there is branched out bramble. At few smaller crossings we follow a wider cart track, and there after some time we reach an asphalt road and with that also blazes of Pomurje mountain trail.
We follow the road to the left, and there in few minutes of additional walking, we reach the peak of Jeruzalem.
