Sveti Jurij (Remšnik) - Kapunerhütte

Access to starting point:
A) From the road Dravograd - Maribor, in the settlement Vas we turn left towards Remšnik. A few kilometers of ascent follow, but we follow the road to Remšnik, where we park on the parking lot below the church of St. Jurij.
B) From the road Maribor - Dravograd, in the settlement Brezno we turn right towards Remšnik and Brezni Vrh. We further follow the signs for Remšnik, where we park on the parking lot below the church of St. Jurij.

Route description:
From the parking lot below the church, in the direction of access to the starting point, we descend to the nearby crossroad, from which we continue straight. The path ahead leads us past the chapel as well and we quickly arrive at the next crossroad, from which we continue straight towards Kapunar (left Vas). We continue past a few more houses, from which a nice view opens up back towards the church of St. Jurij, and the road then passes into the forest, through which it continues for a few minutes. When we leave the forest we go past a few more houses, then we arrive at the farm Helbel, where the path splits.
We continue straight (right sv. Pankracij past the homestead Zgornji Kočnik) and follow the blazes. Higher up we also follow the blazes, road turn-offs leading to nearby homesteads.
At the homestead Zgornji Murn we reach a marked junction, where we join the path that starts at OMP Remšnik and continue left towards Kapunar.
The road then gradually turns to the left and brings us to the farm Slanik in a few minutes, where it temporarily levels out. From the farm we continue for a short time with nice views on part of the Drava valley and Pohorje, then the road returns into the forest and brings us to the church of sv. Urban.
From the church we continue along the road, then before the farm Buzenik we continue right onto a cart track that takes us past the chapel into the forest. Along the cart track we ascend to the state border in a few minutes, where we approach the Austrian path very closely.
We continue along the Slovenian side of the state border, where at the wooden cross the Austrian path turns somewhat more to the right. After a few minutes of ascent the paths approach each other again and then run parallel to the hunting cross, where our path turns somewhat to the left. A few minutes of walking follow, then we arrive at the hut of the amateur radio operators on Kapunar, where there is a registration box and from which a nice view opens up on the Slovenian side.
From the hut we continue slightly right in the direction of the Kapunerhütte hut.
We continue along the initially gently sloping path, which traverses the slopes to the left, then ascends transversely to the western ridge of Kapunar, from where a nice view opens up towards Austria.
We continue left (right Kapunar peak 2 minutes) and descend along the border ridge to the smaller saddle between the two peaks of Kapunar.
From the saddle, where a somewhat shorter path also joins, which ascends to the border ridge just before the hut of the amateur radio operators, we continue in the direction of the Kapunerhütte hut. From the saddle we first still walk along the ridge, then the path turns right onto the Austrian side and descends to the mentioned hut in a few minutes.
Remšnik - sv. Urban 0:55, sv. Urban - hut of amateur radio operators on Kapunar 1:00, hut of amateur radio operators on Kapunar - Kapunerhütte 0:15.
