border crossing Remšnik - Panoramaschenke Tertinek

Access to starting point:
A) From Dravograd we drive towards Maribor, but only to the village Vas, where we continue left towards Remšnik. Next follows an ascent to the mentioned settlement, where a little before the parish church of St. Jurij we continue sharply left. Further, we drive past homesteads Kajzar and Helbel, at the latter we continue on the right road, and then we go also past homesteads Prelank where we go left, and Korenk which we bypass on the left side. Next follows some more of crossing, where at the crossroads we continue straight. When we get to the national border, we park on an appropriate place by the road. Border crossing Remšnik is located few 100 meters ahead.
B) From Maribor, we drive towards Dravograd, but only to the settlement Brezno, where we turn right in the direction of the settlement Brezni Vrh and Remšnik. Higher, we leave the road towards Remšnik and we continue straight towards Brezni Vrh. Only few meters ahead we continue slightly right, and then we drive past homesteads Hager, Podržavnik, Kompar, Breznik, where we go left towards Austria, and then follows some more of crossing and we get to the border crossing with Austria. Here we go left and we drive for approximately 500 meters to the next crossroad, where we park at the appropriate place.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue eastward towards Kapla and Brezno, then after a few dozen meters, we turn slightly left onto a footpath that gently ascends through a strip of forest. We soon leave the forest and bypass a nearby holiday cottage on the upper side, then descend back to the road, which we reach near the eastern part of OMP Remšnik. We continue straight on the Austrian side (to the right, the Slovenian path towards Kapla), leaving the road shortly after and turning right onto a footpath that ascends via short steps. A little further, the path leads us through a short grassy section, from which a beautiful view towards the church of St. Pankracij opens up when looking back, and we quickly reach an asphalt road, which we follow upward. Some ascent follows on the asphalt road, which turns into a cart track behind a nearby house, where the ascent also ends. We continue through the forest, mostly traversing slopes without significant changes in altitude, and upon reaching a small saddle, we can cross to the Slovenian side.
We continue on the Austrian side and, after some time, leave the forest, crossing a fence. A fairly scenic diagonal descent follows, and after crossing the fence again, we already see the guesthouse Panoramaschenke Tertinek ahead, which we reach in a minute of further walking.
