Grad - Kripta (northern path)

Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Radenci, then continue to Gederovci and Kuzma. From the roundabout in Gederovci, continue towards Kuzma, and after Pertoča, turn right towards Grad. When you arrive in Grad, continue straight ahead at the Spar shop and drive a little further to the parish church of St. Mary of the Assumption, where you park in the parking lot in front of the church.
b) From Murska Sobota, drive towards Gederovci, and in Černelavci, turn right towards Grad. Continue through a few more settlements, where you exit the crossroads in the direction of Grad. Once you arrive in Grad, drive past the Spar shop to the parish church in Grad, and park in the parking lot next to it.

Path description:
From the church parking lot, walk to the main road and follow it south-west. Walking along the pavement, the path leads you past the football pitch, and when you reach the crossroads under the Spar shop, continue straight on in the route Dolnji Slaveči (to the left is Grad Castle and one of the paths to Kripto).
Just 10 steps further, in front of the Maxen petrol station, signs direct you to the left, onto a side road which turns right at a large dilapidated building. Walk between the field on the left and the dilapidated building on the right, and when a passage opens up between the fields on the left, continue along it (leaving the waymarked trail here), and at the edge of the woods by the hunting observation post, go left and continue along cart track, which continues along the field. Only about 30 m further on, however, the initially quite overgrown cart track branches off quite imperceptibly to the right and leads us into the bank, where it begins to climb steeply. Before reaching the grassy slope at the upper part of the forest, go right, where after a few metres the weaker cart track ends, continue on the path which climbs crosswise to the right, a little further on it leads us to cart track which we follow to the right, and after a few 10 steps we reach the top of the Kripta.
