Path description:
At the chapel we see the mountain signs for St. Pankracija / St. Pongratzen and the Kapunerhütte hut, which direct us to a fairly steep path that begins to climb through the forest. At the top, cross cart track twice, and the markings lead out of the forest onto a meadow with a view, which leads to the nearby church of St Pancras.
From the church, continue to the right or west, then quickly pass the chapel and reach a marked crossroads, from which you continue left towards St Urban and the village of Remšnik (to the right, the Kapunerhütte hut and the Austrian route to Kapunar).
The path continues along the Slovenian side of the border and crosses the slopes to the left. After a few minutes of crossing, we reach the Mravljak farm, where we continue straight ahead, then after the farm we continue downhill to the left and, with beautiful views, we follow the path cart track down to the macadam road, which we follow to the right. There is a short descent, then from the marked crossroads continue straight on in the direction of Kapunar and Remšnik (left down Remšnik). Follow the cross-country climb to the crossroads at the farm Zgornji Murn, where you turn sharp right. The road then gradually turns back to the left and leads in a few minutes to the Slanik farm, where it is transiently laid. From the farm we continue for a short time with beautiful views over part of the Drava Valley and Pohorje, and then the road returns to the forest and leads us to the Church of St. Urban.
