Access to starting point:
From the Dravograd - Maribor road, in Radlje ob Dravi, from the intersection at the Lidl store, we drive in the direction of the center of the settlement and Radeljski prelaz mountain pass. After the intersection, we also drive past the Hofer store and past the turn-off of the road to the left towards Sveti Tri Kralji, and at the next intersection left towards Austria. Immediately after the intersection, we go left again and park on a larger asphalt parking lot near the Dvorec Radlje mansion.
Path description:
At the parking lot, signs for Sveti Tri Kralji and Bricnik direct us to the path towards Dvorec Radlje; from it, we quickly go right downhill and descend on a wide path to the asphalt road, which we follow to the right. Then follows walking along Samostanska ulica, where we pass a few houses, and at intersections we follow the blazes. Further on, we walk on the asphalt road that leads us through the valley of Radeljski potok stream; from the intersection with numerous signposts, we go slightly left towards the marked path. A few minutes further, the asphalt ends, and the road higher turns right, thus leaving the valley. The path further leads us past a religious symbol; behind it, we soon go left as the blazes direct us to the footpath. Then follows an ascent through the forest, where we soon cross a macadam road, and the next time we reach the macadam road, we reach it right at the intersection.
We continue on the upper road towards Bricnik. Then follows a left serpentine; behind it, we arrive at a smaller hamlet where the road turns back right. Then follows walking past the Sitar homestead, above which a beautiful view opens up, after which the path continuing on the cart track enters the forest. Higher up, a nice view opens on the left side, reaching from Uršlja gora to Peca, and with good visibility all the way to the Kamniško-Savinjske Alps. With nice views, we reach the Navšnik homestead, where a path from Kapunarja or the Razdevšek homestead joins from the right; the latter is located in the valley of Radeljski potok stream. A few steps above the junction, we continue right and begin to ascend transversely on the macadam road; from the nearby intersection, we go left. Then follows a transverse ascent to the left; during it, a road branches off to the left towards the Pušej homestead. We continue straight; when we reach the ridge, we arrive at the marked junction.
We continue straight towards Bricnik (sharply right to Sveti Tri Kralji), first with nice views, then the road gradually enters the forest. When we arrive at the marked junction after the ecological island, we continue on the slightly left road towards sv. Primož (left to Dobnik homestead, slightly left on footpath to Bricnik, straight to sv. Anton, right path ends in the forest) and continue the path on the road that crosses the slopes to the left. At intersections, we follow the marked road; the path, from which a nice view of Pohorje occasionally opens up, brings us after some time to Zavetišče Onuk - Glavar.
At the shelter, we leave the road and continue right towards Bricnik and Glavarjeva smreka (straight to Muta and sv. Primož).
From the shelter, we first ascend across a scenic hay meadow, then the path enters the forest. After a short transverse ascent, we arrive at a smaller junction, where a short path branches off to the right from the marked path to Glavarjeva smreka, which in June 2016 measured 48 meters in height; just over a year later, it was felled by a strong gale.
Then follows some steeper ascent, after which somewhat above 900 meters above sea level we join a somewhat wider path and follow it to the right (left to Muta and sv. Primož).
Then follows a few minutes of ascent, where at junctions we follow the blazes; then the path levels out and brings us to the top of Bricnik.
