Trnovska vas - Grmada (at Vurberk) - northwestern peak

Access to starting point:
A) We leave Pomurska highway at exit Sveta Trojica, and then we follow the signs for Ptuj. When we get to the settlement Trnovska vas we turn right towards the cemetery, and soon after the crossroad we park on a marked parking lot.
B) We drive to Ptuj, and then we follow the signs for Gornja Radgona and Sveta Trojica. In the settlement Trnovska vas at the roundabout we notice red hiking signposts, and from the roundabout we continue "straight", and then we go left in the direction of the cemetery, and soon after the crossroad we park on a marked parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we return to the main road, and then we continue right to the nearby roundabout, where we notice the first blazes and also the first hiking signposts. We continue right in the direction towards Vurberk (left Vitomarci), where we go at first past a few more houses, and then Trnovska vas ends. The path ahead leads us on a sidewalk and cycling path, and from the mentioned path, after the memorial plaque we go right into the forest, where blazes point us. We walk through the forest for a few minutes, then we return to the cycling path, on which we ascend to the settlement Bišečki Vrh and also to the settlement Trnovski Vrh. We continue past a few houses, and when the cycling path turns right, we go left on a side road, by which blazes continue. There follow a few crossroads, where we follow the blazes, and when the road makes a left turn we go right on a side macadam road. There follows some descent through the forest, and when we leave the forest, by the meadow we get to a crossroad, where we go left (right Črmlja). There follows an easy ascent, and at the hunting observatory we go right on a cart track which starts ascending through the forest, and blazes are less frequent beside it. Higher, the path flattens and turns slightly to the right, where for a short time we cross the slopes towards the right, and then we go from the cart track left and we ascend to an asphalt road which we follow left upwards, and the road quickly brings us to a crossroad, where we go right.
We go right also at the next crossroad, then we ascend also to the nearby transmitter, which is situated on the 386 m high summit.
From here follows a descent on an asphalt road, and we descend for more than 100 altitude meters. When in the valley we reach a somewhat wider road we go right, and behind the bus stop we go left on a side road in the direction of Gomila and Vurberk.
We continue through the forest for a few minutes, and when we leave the forest, we get to the settlement Gomila, from where beautiful views open up on the surroundings. Higher the asphalt road flattens, and at a smaller crossroad we leave it and continue straight on a poor macadam road, on which we at first ascend, and then past a few houses in a gentle ascent cross the slopes towards the right. When the houses end we go right and continue on a macadam road which quickly brings us to an asphalt road, where we go straight. Immediately after the crossroad, we get to the settlement Krčevina pri Vurberku, and at the bus stop we go straight. After the settlement, the asphalt ends, and we continue on a macadam road which at first descends a little and then ascends to a marked junction at Črna tabla.
We go left towards Grmada and Vurberk and continue on the asphalt road which we quickly leave as we continue left on a macadam road, from which we soon go right on a footpath. The path at first gently ascends, and then we reach the ridge, where the path becomes steep. Below the summit, the path flattens and we get to the logbook box, which is situated only a few steps below the tower on Grmada.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in March 2022.
