Prevalje - Sveta Barbara in Zagrad (steep path)

Access to the starting point:
From Mežica, Border crossing Holmec or Raven na Koroškem take the road to Prevalje, where between the Hofer and Eurospin shops, by the Brančurnik Inn, turn onto a side road that continues south. At the point where we leave the main road there is a mountain sign for Uršlja gora, but we park just a little further on in a larger gravel parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, return to the main road and then continue along the pavement towards Mežice. The path leads you past the bus station and then to a crossroads where an asphalt road branches off to the left, heading towards the cemetery. Before crossing the road, turn left onto a wide footpath with a fence, which begins to climb up the slope. After a few steps, below the Chapel of St Rosalie, the path forks and we continue to the right (straight ahead), arriving at the Chapel of St Rosalie. After the chapel, the path becomes narrower and starts to climb steeply up a steep and, especially in the wet, slippery slope. The steepness subsides after a few 10 steps and the slightly overgrown path leads to the Church of St Barbara in Zagrad.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2018 (April).
