Ženavlje (memorial plaque) - Križarka

Access to the starting point:
We drive to Murska Sobota, then continue to the Hodoš border crossing. At Gornji Petrovci, turn left from a slightly larger crossroads towards Kuzma and Martinje. When you arrive in Šulinci, leave the main road at the Village Fire House, which turns right, and continue straight ahead on a side road, passing the Fire House on the left. When Šulinci ends, you will soon reach the Balon memorial, and we drive about 50 m further to a marked parking area, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, walk to the memorial to the balloonists (Max Cosyns and Nere van Elst, who made an unscheduled landing in Ženavlje on 18 August 1934), about 50 m away, where you leave the main road and turn right onto a side road that leads you over a small bridge over the Merak stream to a hamlet of a few houses.
In the hamlet, turn slightly left onto a forest road, which begins a moderate climb through the forest, and when you get a little higher out of the forest, turn right and follow the path cart track, which leads you between a field on the left and a forest on the right. Cart track soon returns to a pleasant pine forest through which you climb gently to moderately. Follow this path to an inconspicuous summit, on which stands the 16th-century Baroque church of St Anne.
From the crossroads to the left of the church, follow the road to the left, which goes into the forest and after a few minutes leads to a crossroads where you join the road from Stanjevcev.
Continue to the right and continue along the wider macadam road, which continues with some short ups and downs, and at the crossroads continue straight ahead. A few 10 steps before reaching the asphalt road, a fainter path is seen on the right, which then parallels the nearby asphalt road and climbs gently to the undistinguished top of Križarka.
Starting point - St. Anne 0:30, St. Anne - Križarka 0:35.
