Grad Castle in Goričko - Kripta (on Graščakova pot)

Access to starting point:
A) From Murska Sobota we drive towards Gederovci, and in Černelavci we go right in the direction of Grad. Further on, we drive through a few more settlements, where at the crossroads we continue in the direction of Grad. When the road starts visibly descending towards Grad, at the sharp left turn we leave it and continue straight in the direction of the castle. There follows a little more than 100 meters of driving and we park on the parking lot before the castle Grad na Goričkem.
B) We drive to Kuzma, and then we follow the signs for Grad. In Grad, past the Spar store, we go left in the direction of Murska Sobota and we start visibly ascending. When we get to the crossroad, where the main road turns sharply right, we continue left towards the castle. There follows a little more than 100 meters of driving and we park on the parking lot before the castle Grad na Goričkem.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the castle and at the information board we continue sharply left on a forest path which continues without large changes in altitude. Already after a few steps, the path branches off to the right towards the valley, and we go straight and continue on a cart track which starts gradually descending. For some time we moderately descend through the forest, and when we reach the asphalt road we continue the ascent on it to the nearby left hairpin turn, where we leave the asphalt road and continue straight on a macadam path. The macadam road ascends for a few more minutes, and at the crossing we go right in the direction of Kripta.
We continue on a worse macadam road which, with nice views that reach all the way to Austria, lightly descends. When the descent ends, we step into the forest and after some 10 steps of a light ascent we reach Kripta.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in March 2021.
