Zreče (Terme Zreče) - Sveti Martin (Zlakova) (on PP1)

Access to the starting point:
Exit the Styria motorway at the exit for Slovenske Konjice, then follow the signs for Zreče. When you arrive in Zreče, park in the parking lot at Terme Zreče.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road, which continues northwards, and soon you will arrive at a marked crossroads, where the marked path to Gorenje and Rogla branches off to the right, and we continue down the stairs, where we pass the NOB memorial and arrive at another road, which we follow to the right. The way forward leads past the Petrol station, and when you reach the roundabout, go left in the direction of Brinjeva gora (route marker PP1). The way forward leads across the Dravinja River, and when the road turns right a little further on, go slightly left, again in the direction of Brinjeva gora. Just a little further on the road splits again, and this time we continue to the right in the direction of the hiking trail to Brinjeva gora (left driving road towards Brinjeva gora), where the trail leads us past the chapel. After the chapel, we continue slightly left and start climbing up the narrow asphalt road, which leads us past the water supply facility to the farm, after which we leave the road and continue left in the direction of the marked trail to Brinjeva gora. The way forward leads us along the cart track, which climbs crosswise through the forest, and when you leave the forest, you climb crosswise along the pasture to the asphalt road, where the path splits.
Continue right along the asphalt road (left downhill to Zreče, sharp right leads to the Church of St. Neže) and follow it past another branch of the Brinjeva Gora trail up to the pass near the Pudgrošek farm, where you go left in the direction of the Zimrajh guesthouse and the Church of St. Martin (Brinjeva Gora on the right).
The Zimrajh guesthouse is reached in a few minutes, and we continue along the guesthouse (the road to Zreče on the left and Zlakova on the right) and then climb for a short distance along the edge of the forest and then across the meadow to the nearby St Martin's Church, which is situated on a lookout.
