Grad - Evangelical Church (Bodonci)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Radenci, and then we continue driving towards Gederovci and Kuzma. From the roundabout in Gederovci we continue in the direction of Kuzma, after the settlement Pertoča we go right towards Grad. When we get to Grad, at the store Spar we continue straight and we drive a little further to the parish church of St. Mary of the Assumption, where we park on the parking lot in front of the church.
B) From Murska Sobota we drive towards Gederovci, and in Černelavci we go right in the direction of Grad. Further, we drive through few more settlements, where at the crossroads we continue in the direction of Grad. When we already get to Grad, past the store Spar we drive to the parish church in Grad, by which we park on a parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the church, we walk to the main road and we continue by the road towards the southwest. When we walk on a sidewalk, the path leads past the football field; when we reach the crossroads below the Spar store, we continue straight towards Dolnji Slaveči (left, castle Grad and one of the paths to Kripta).
Only few 10 strides ahead, in front of the gas station Maxen, blazes point us to the left, on a side road which at a larger decaying building turns right. Next follows a walk between the field on the left and a decaying structure on the right, where at the smaller gate a poorly beaten and often overgrown northern path on Kripta branches off to the left, and we still continue on a wider cart track which turns slightly to the right, and still leads us by the field. The path ahead leads us between the forest on the left and the stream on the right, and when we reach a marked crossing, we continue straight (left, the western path to Kripta).
We continue straight, still following the blazes, and quickly leave the forest. We further follow the blazes, not entirely the signs for the Graščakova pot path. Further, we walk on the macadam road for some time, and when we reach the asphalt road, we turn right downwards, and at the nearby crossroads, left. Before we reach the hamlet of houses, we turn left onto a macadam road leading towards an older house, and before the house, the blazes direct us to the right, where we walk on the path along the edge of the forest. A little further, we enter a lane of bushes, and behind it, the forest, where we steeply ascend for a short time; then the path flattens and gradually turns more to the right. Even further, we start descending, and when we leave the forest, we continue to the nearby asphalt road, which we follow to the left. When the main road turns left, we go straight onto a side asphalt road, continuing without significant changes in altitude. Behind the last house, the asphalt ends, and we first continue by the orchard, then through the forest, and later by the field. When the macadam road starts turning to the right, the blazes direct us left onto a cart track, which passes into a lane through the forest. For a few minutes, we continue along the edge of the forest, and then on the left, we notice older blazes leading to the nearby macadam road, where the signs end; we continue straight, only crossing the mentioned macadam road, and bypass the nearby farm on the left. We soon reach another macadam road, which we follow to the left; it turns right and ascends diagonally to the settlement Vadarci, where the road becomes asphalted. Here, we pass a few houses and the cemetery, continuing straight at two smaller crossroads. When we reach a slightly wider road, we turn left, first descending slightly, then ascending to the evangelical church in Bodonci, which we already see ahead.
