Zreče (Terme Zreče) - Brinjeva gora (above Zreče) (on PP1)

Access to the starting point:
Exit the Styria motorway at the exit for Slovenske Konjice, then follow the signs for Zreče. When you arrive in Zreče, park in the parking lot at Terme Zreče.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road, which continues northwards, and soon you will arrive at a marked crossroads, where the marked path to Gorenje and Rogla branches off to the right, and we continue down the stairs, where we pass the NOB memorial and arrive at another road, which we follow to the right. The way forward leads past the Petrol station, and when you reach the roundabout, go left in the direction of Brinjeva gora (route marker PP1). The way forward leads across the Dravinja River, and when the road turns right a little further on, go slightly left, again in the direction of Brinjeva gora. Just a little further on the road splits again, and this time we continue to the right in the direction of the hiking trail to Brinjeva gora (left driving road towards Brinjeva gora), where the trail leads us past the chapel. After the chapel, we continue slightly left and start climbing up the narrow asphalt road, which leads us past the water supply facility to the farm, after which we leave the road and continue left in the direction of the marked trail to Brinjeva gora. The way forward leads us along the cart track, which climbs crosswise through the forest, and when you leave the forest, you climb crosswise along the pasture to the asphalt road, where the path splits.
Continue right along the asphalt road (left downhill to Zreče, sharp right is the path to St. Neže Church) and follow it up to the nearby crossroads, where you continue right in the direction of Brinjeva gora (straight ahead St. Martin and Brinjeva gora past Pudgrošek Farm). A little higher up, when you reach the forest, the road becomes macadam, and we continue slightly left on a footpath that climbs to the ridge of Brinjeva Gora, which you reach on a small pass by the information board of Freudenberg Castle.
Here you go right (left Pudgrošek farm, straight ahead Oplotnica) and continue climbing through the forest and within a few minutes of further ascent you reach the Church of St Mary on Brinjeva Gora.
From the church, continue past the wooden toilets and take a quick walk to the lookout point where there is a registration box.
