Access to the starting point:
We drive to Murska Sobota, then continue to the Hodoš border crossing. At Gornji Petrovci, turn left from a slightly larger crossroads towards Kuzma and Martinje. When you arrive in Šulinci, leave the main road at the Village Fire House, which turns right, and continue straight ahead on a side road, passing the Fire House on the left. When Šulinci ends, you will soon reach the Balon memorial, and we drive about 50 m further to a marked parking area, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, walk to the memorial to the balloonists (Max Cosyns and Nere van Elst, who made an unscheduled landing in Geneva on 18 August 1934), about 50 metres away.
Here, an unmarked path branches off to the right towards St Anne's Church in Boreča, and we continue along the main road with occasional signs to the village of Šulinci, where signs point us to the right, at first gently downhill. After crossing the Merak stream, we begin a gradually steeper ascent along the tarmac road, passing a few houses. Higher up, the road levels out and we reach the cemetery on the outskirts of Gornji Petrovci, and we go left (Stanjevci on the right). Continue through Gornji Petrovci, passing the Evangelical Church (the church is located some 10 m to the right of the road), and at the next junction, where you reach the main road, go right.
On the main road, pass by the primary school, and just after the school, go left at the information boards. There is a short steep climb, then the road is laid and in a few minutes of further walking we reach Pindže (former holiday home Goričko in Gornji Petrovci), where there is a registration box with a registration book and the stamp of the Pomurska planinska cesta.
From here, continue onwards, turn right at a small crossroads, and then, with quite nice views, continue to the nearby Holy Trinity Church, which is located on a lookout hill.
