Lovrenc na Pohorju (cemetery) - Koglerjev 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. Leave the asphalt road in front of the nearby Kacajner homestead and continue left in the direction of the circular path (you can go straight back the way you came).
Continue on the dirt road, which soon turns right onto cart track, which climbs steeply through lane of a forest. At a higher level, another cart track is reached, which climbs across the hayfield and then turns sharp right. Here you can continue straight ahead on a slightly shorter and steeper path that bypasses the Šlaus-Kogler organic farm, or you can continue to the right and follow the cart track to the farm, where you go slightly left (the circular path continues to the right), and a little further on from the farm the two paths merge.
From the junction of the two paths, in a few steps you reach a chapel where the markings end and which you go around on the right hand side, immediately after which you go left to cart track. Continue on cart track, which climbs transversely through the forest, and when you reach a ridge higher up, take cart track sharp right onto a track which will take you in a few minutes up to the nondescript Kogler's Peak.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in February 2022.
