Lovrenc na Pohorju (pokopališče) - Hožičev vrh

Access to starting point:
A) From the road Maribor - Dravograd, between HE Fala and HE Ožbalt we turn left towards Lovrenc na Pohorju (from the direction Dravograd we turn right). On the other side of Drava we start ascending along Radoljna, and at the marked crossroad, we go slightly right on the main road towards Lovrenc na Pohorju. When we get to the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju we follow the main road, and we park a little further from the parish church of St. Lovrenc, on a marked parking lot at the cemetery.
B) We drive into Ruše, and then we follow the road towards Lovrenc na Pohorju. In the settlement Činžat we get to a saddle, where the road starts descending, and lower we go left towards Lovrenc na Pohorju. When we get to the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju we follow the main road, and we park a little further from the parish church of St. Lovrenc, on a marked parking lot at the cemetery.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the main road through the upper part of the settlement, so that we bypass the cemetery on the right side. We at first walk on a sidewalk, and soon after the road sign, which marks the end of the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju we quickly get to the Hojnikova chapel, where the sidewalk ends, and we continue right on a side road, by which there are signs for Koglerjev vrh (straight - Lovrenška jezera).
After the crossroad, we start lightly descending, and after crossing Bednikov jarek we start ascending steeper. We quickly leave the forest and we get to a junction before the homestead Kacajner.
Signs for a circular path point us left, but we go straight and we still continue on the asphalt road. There follow some more crossings, where we go past individual homesteads, and after the farm Hožič the asphalt ends and the road descends a little and brings us into the forest, where it makes a longer left turn. In the middle of the turn the blazes point us left on a cart track, on which we start ascending steeper, and when the path flattens, we quickly get to indistinct Hožičev vrh.
Description and pictures refer to a condition in February 2022.
