Lovrenc na Pohorju (cemetery) - Hožičev vrh

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, take a slight right along the main road towards Lovrenec to Pohorje. When you arrive in Lovrenc na Pohorje, follow the main road, and park a little further away from the parish church of St. Lovrenc, in the marked parking area next to the cemetery.
b) Drive into Ruše, then follow the road to Lovrenec to Pohorje. In Činžat you will reach a pass where the road starts to descend, and then go left towards Lovrenec na Pohorju. When you reach Lovrenc na Pohorju, follow the main road and park a little further on from the parish church of St. Lovrenec, in the marked parking area by the cemetery.

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the main road through the upper part of the settlement, passing the cemetery on the right. At first we walk along the pavement, but shortly after the road sign marking the end of the Lovrenc na Pohorju settlement we quickly reach the Hojnikova Chapel, where the pavement ends, and we continue to the right on a side road, along which there are signs for Koglerjev vrh (straight ahead to Lovren Lakes).
After the crossroads we start to descend gently, and after crossing Bednik's Ditch we start to climb more steeply. You quickly leave the forest and reach a crossroads in front of the Kacajner homestead.
Signs for the circular route point to the left, but we continue straight ahead, still following the asphalt road. There is some more crossing, where we pass individual homesteads, but after the Hožič farm the asphalt ends and the road descends a little and leads us into the forest, where it makes a longer left turn. In the middle of the bend, the markings direct us to the left to cart track, after which we start to climb steeply, and when the path is laid, we quickly arrive at the inexpressive Hožičev vrh.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in February 2022.
