Stari trg - Sveti Pankracij (Grajski grič) (gentle path)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Slovenj Gradec, and then we continue driving towards Stari trg, Kotlje and Ravne na Koroškem. Before the road starts ascending, from the roundabout we go to the exit in the direction of Stari trg. A little further, we go left and we ascend to a large parking lot by the parish church of St. Radegunda, where we park.
B) We drive to Ravne na Koroškem, after that from the roundabout in the middle of the town, we continue in the direction of Kotlje and Slovenj Gradec. Further, we drive through the settlement Pratnekar, and at the beginning of Kotlje we go left towards Slovenj Gradec. Next follows gradual ascent to a smaller mountain pass, after that descent towards Slovenj Gradec. When the road stops descending, from the roundabout we go to the exit in the direction of Stari trg. A little further, we go left and we ascend to a large parking lot by the parish church of St. Radegunda, where we park.

Path description:
Fom the end of the parking lot, we continue on a wide footpath which at the 2nd Station of the Cross splits.
We continue slightly left on a marked path (slightly right Grajski grič past the Stations of the Cross) and we diagonally ascend to a smaller stream, by which we continue through a small valley. The valley soon widens, and a marked path brings us to a macadam road. Before we step on the road, we go sharply right, on a cart track which ascends diagonally through a grassy slope, and when the path passes into the forest, it joins the path past the chapels.
We continue on the road, from which for some time a nice view opens up on Slovenj Gradec, and then we quickly reach Grajski grič, where there stands the church of St. Pankracij.
