Činžat - Sveti Križ (Kumen)

Access to the starting point:
a) From the Maribor - Dravograd road, between the Fala HPP and the Ožbalt HPP, turn left towards Lovrenc na Pohorju (from the route of Dravograd turn right). On the other side of the Drava, start climbing along Radoljna, and at the marked crossroads go left towards Činžat and Rušy. There is some more ascent, and on the preval, where you can see the red mountain direction signs, the route described above begins. There are no parking places at the crossroads, so park a little further away in a suitable place.
b) Drive to Ruše, then follow the road towards Lovrenec na Pohorju. In the village Činžat you will arrive at a preval, where you will see red mountain direction signs, where the described route starts. There are no parking spaces at the crossroads, so park a little further away in a suitable place.

Path description:
From the starting point, follow the road marked Činžat and Koče na Klopnem vrh. At first, walk along the asphalt road, which leads you past a few houses, and at the crossroads, follow the markings and signs for the Koča na Klopnem vrh (Cottage on Klopnem vrh). Above the village, the asphalt ends and the road passes into the valley of the Lampreht stream, along which we continue our ascent. The road then becomes asphalt and turns sharp right at 728 metres above sea level. There is a cross-country climb, gradually moving away from the stream. A few crossroads follow higher up, and we continue left at all of them. There is a moderate climb to the left and we reach the Sveti Križ chapel, from which we get some views of the surrounding countryside.
