Pichla bei Radkersburg - Königsberg

Access to the starting point:
We drive to Gornja Radgona and then cross the River Mura into Austria. In Radgona / Bad Radkersburg, take the exit from the roundabout in the centre of the town towards Ig / Aigen and St. Anna pri Ig / St. Anna a. Aigen. Go towards the above-mentioned towns until you reach Deutsch Haseldorf, where you turn left towards Tieschen and Pichla bei Radkersburg. There is some more driving on a slightly narrower road, and when you reach the second main road on the outskirts of Pichla bei Radkersburg, the route described above begins. There are no parking spaces at the junction.

Path description:
From the crossroads, continue along the pavement towards Deutsch Haseldorf for a few 10 steps, and when the pavement ends, turn right in the direction of the path to Königsbergdenkmal. The path continues along a narrow asphalt road, passing a few houses, and at a small crossroads go left. The village then ends and you pass an orchard to reach the edge of the woods, where the asphalt ends. Here the road turns left and splits. Continue on the road slightly to the right, which climbs more visibly (a marked trail leads slightly to the left to the village of Deutsch Haseldorf). It is a mostly transverse climb through the forest, where you can see some educational signs along the way. Higher up, where the road turns to the right, the marked path from Deutsch Haseldorf joins us on the left, and we continue along the road, which increasingly turns into cart track. We follow this road, or cart track, for some time climbing through the forest, and when we reach a marked crossroads, we turn right towards the signs for Grenzlanddenkmal and reach the summit within a minute's walk.
