Vurmat (Šturm) - Sveti Duh na Ostrem Vrhu

Access to the starting point:
On the Maribor - Dravograd road, near the Fala hydroelectric power station, you will see a bridge over the Šturm Stream. The border between Styria and Carinthia is located exactly on this little bridge. Leave your vehicle at the sawmill or somewhere nearby.

Path description:
The trail starts at the sawmill, which is also visible from the Maribor - Dravograd road. The route initially follows a wide macadam road, which leads us past a few houses scattered around the hill village of Vurmat. Higher up, we reach a sharp left turn, where we leave the road and continue along the usually quite muddy cart track. Walk along cart track for only a minute or so before crossing a footbridge. After the footbridge, the path becomes steeper and turns into the Zrnkov ravine. Further on, we climb along a partly slippery and steep path, which is also protected by a steel cable in one part. Above the steel cable, the path is laid, and then, after the second footbridge, it starts to climb steeply again on a path that is quite overgrown in places. Higher up, the path leads us over a third footbridge, after which we come to a secluded byte and a little further on to Virtić's mill.
From the mill onwards, the path continues along a gently sloping macadam road, which leads us past a pond, after which it climbs steeply in two serpentines. The road continues past the Knap farm, after which we reach the village of Sveti Duh na Ostrem vrh. When we arrive in the village, the path first leads us past the NOB monument, and above it we arrive at the Church of the Holy Spirit, which is located at the top of the hill.
The stamp and the registration book can be found in the nearby Heric Inn.
