Access to the starting point:
The start of the route can be practically in the centre of the city at the beginning of the city park by the sign for the Kozjak trail, or anywhere in the park up to Treh rybniki.
By car, exit Melje on the expressway through Maribor and continue along the railway station, at the first junction without traffic lights turn left along Tomšičeva Street, also the famous alley in the direction of Ribniško selo and park the vehicle somewhere near the park.

Path description:
At the beginning of the City Park, by the sign "Path over Kozjak", or by the Three Ponds, there is a concrete start of the route. It is easy to follow the mountain trail practically from the urban Maribor itself through Ribniško selo. At the top of Ribniško selo at the junction with Vinarji, right into the forest and under Marin's and Kaufman's banks, simply follow the well-marked and also undulating, "hilly", path. Soon you reach the top of the Rošpoh settlement, followed by a descent into the valley, where you cross the Kamnica - Kungota road.
Continue up by the chapel, past a large farmhouse with orchards, along an asphalt road. Somehow, St. Urban is practically in sight all the time and with the excellent signposting of the trail, we reach our destination in an easy stride.
The trail is perfectly traceable, with locals along the way always ready for a chat and helpful advice.
The trail is about 8000 metres long, with 540 positive vertical metres and 220 negative vertical metres (starting from the city park).

We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Sv. Križ (Gaj nad Mariborom) (1 h), Petnikov vrh (1 h 30 min)
