Stari trg - Sveti Pankracij (Grajski grič) (gentle path)

Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Slovenj Gradec, then continue to Stary trg, Kotlje and Ravenna na Koroškem. Before the road starts to climb, take the exit from the roundabout in the direction of Stary trg. A little further on, go left and climb up to the large parking lot next to the parish church of St. Radegunda, where you park.

b) Take the Ravne na Koroškem, then from the roundabout in the middle of the town, continue in the direction of Kotelj and Slovenj Gradec. Continue through Pratnekar and at the beginning of Kotelj turn left towards Slovenj Gradec. There is a gradual climb up to a small pass and then a descent towards Slovenj Gradec. When the road stops descending, take the exit from the roundabout in the direction of Stará trg. A little further on, turn left and climb up to the large parking lot next to the parish church of St. Radegunda, where you park.

Path description:
From the end of the parking lot, continue along the wide lane, which splits at Station II of the Stations of the Cross.

Continue slightly left along the marked path (slightly right up Grajski hill past the Stations of the Cross) and cross a small stream, following it along a small valley. The valley soon widens and the waymarked path leads to a macadam road. Before entering the road, take a sharp right onto cart track, which climbs across a grassy slope, and as the path enters the woods it merges with the path past the chapels.
Continue along the road, which offers a fine view of Slovenj Gradec, and then quickly reach Castle Hill, where the Church of St Pancras stands.
