Path description:
From the parking lot, return to the roundabout by the main road and follow the road towards Dragovič and the marked path towards Hvaletinci and Vitomarce. The way forward leads us past a few more houses, then a moderate climb, and when the road is laid, go out of the junction to the right, onto the road, along which the markings continue. There is some ascent to the settlement Dragovič, and at the chapel, which is located on a small rise, go right downhill. During the descent, go slightly right at a small crossroads, and three more times right as the road levels out. After the children's playground, leave the asphalt road and turn left onto the dirt track in the direction of Hvaletinci and Vitomarci. Just a little further on, the road turns into a forest, and we follow it to a small crossroads, where we go slightly right on cart track, which continues through the forest. When you reach a large field, leave the woods for a few steps, then go left into the woods before the field, through which you begin to descend gradually. Lower down, leave the woods and follow cart track and pass a house to reach a plague marker, after which you reach an asphalt road, which you follow to the left. Continue for a few minutes through the village Hvaletinci, passing a chapel on the left, and after a small bridge go right to cart track. Continue for some time on cart track, which leads you along the nearby stream, then the path turns left and joins the tarmac road a few minutes further on, which you follow to the left. When you reach a slightly wider road just ahead, go right, and when the road forks, go left towards the centre of Vitomarci (Cerkvenjak on the right). Follow the pavement uphill, passing a few houses and a primary school, and after the school the pavement ends and you continue along the edge of the road. Higher up, we reach the centre of the village, and we continue past some buildings to the Church of St. Andraz or St. Andrew in Vitomarci.
