Šmartno na Pohorju - Šetorov mlin

Access to the starting point:
Leave the Styrian motorway at exit Slovenska Bistrica south or north (depending on which direction you are coming from), then drive into the centre of Slovenska Bistrica, from where you take the road in the direction of Šmartno to Pohorje. There is a climb of a few kilometres, and we follow the road towards this settlement. When we reach Šmartno na Pohorju, we park in a small parking lot next to the cemetery and St Martin's Church.

Path description:
From the parking lot, walk a few steps to the main road leading through the village, and follow it to the right, where you will also see signs. Walk through the centre of the village for a short distance and then, taking in the beautiful views, walk to a small crossroads, next to a slightly larger chapel.
Here we continue straight on (right Ruška koča na Arehu - path over Frajhajm) and a few minutes further on we reach the next marked crossroads, from which we also continue straight on (left Sv. Trije kralji) and climb moderately past individual houses and the Dovnik guesthouse. Cross a strip of forest and then descend slightly to a crossroads where you continue right towards Areh and Bojtina.
After the crossroads, the road descends a little more, and we go slightly right on a parallel mountain path, which continues to descend. Lower down, the path lays down and leads us past newer and older buildings back to the road, which we follow to the right. Cross the stream on the road over the bridge and go past the cross, and after the cross go slightly right off the road onto the worse road or cart track in the direction of Šetorová mlina. After a few minutes of easy walking, soon after the wooden hut, go right downhill and descend to Šetorová Mill.
