Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue ahead, where by the eastern coast of the lake, we notice the first blazes. The path ahead leads us over the embankment, from which a nice view opens up on the lake and on Forest glamping resort Blaguš. On the other side of the embankment, the path turns left and goes a little away from the lake, and when the fence ends we descend along the fence back to the lake. When we reach the lake we continue right, and then at the northern coast of the lake, we continue to a macadam road which takes us into the forest. At the smaller crossroad, we go left and then past few houses we reach the main road, where we go right. Few minutes we walk by the main road, and then signs for Cerkvenjak and Negova point us to the left on a side road. A little further, at the chapel we go slightly left and short time we still continue on a gently sloping road. At the next sign for Pomurje mountain trail we go left on a cart track, and when we reach the edge of the forest we go right and we continue walking by the edge of the forest.
By the edge of the forest, we continue to a pasture of the nearby farm, where blazes point us left into the forest. Through the forest, we follow frequent blazes, and a little steeper path in few minutes brings us to a smaller cottage named Koča v naši grabi.
Above the cottage we continue right and out of the forest we ascend to a field and pasture, and few 10 strides ahead we reach an asphalt road which we follow right towards Cerkvenjak. We continue on a gently sloping road which brings us on Kočki Vrh, and at few smaller crossroads we follow the blazes. Further, we start descending through the forest, and at the nearby crossroad, we continue slightly left, on the road, by which there are blazes. When we leave the forest we go past a pond, and the road again starts ascending. The path ahead leads us on a panoramic road which leads to the last house, where the road ends.
Few 10 strides before the yard of the last house to the right opens a passage by the grazing fence to the upper road which we quickly reach and we follow it to the left (this part of the path isn't marked). We continue past houses, and soon red mountain signpost points us right downwards, where we start descending on a grassy cart track, from which at first a nice view opens up towards Cerkvenjak. Lower, we reach another road which we follow to the right, and after few minutes of gentle walking we get to the next crossroad.
We continue sharply left and then immediately right over the stream on a cart track. Next follows an ascent at first past the pond, and then with nice views. A wider cart track higher brings us to few houses, and at the crossroad, where we reach an asphalt road, we go right in the direction of the path Klopotčeva učna in sprehajalna pot. Also further we walk among houses, from the crossroad with the priority road we go right and we walk to the chapel of St. Anthony the Hermit in Cerkvenjak.
