Činžat - Lamprehtov vrh

Access to starting point:
A) From the road Maribor - Dravograd, between HE Fala and HE Ožbalt we turn left towards Lovrenc na Pohorju (from the direction of Dravograd we turn right). On the other side of the Drava we start ascending along Radoljna, and at the marked intersection we go left towards Činžat and Ruše. There follows some more ascent, and on the saddle where we notice the red hiking signposts the described path begins. At the intersection there are no arranged parking spaces, so we park a little aside in a suitable spot.
B) We drive to Ruše, then follow the road towards Lovrenc na Pohorju. In the settlement Činžat we arrive at the saddle where we notice the red hiking signposts, where the described path begins. At the intersection there are no arranged parking spaces, so we park a little aside in a suitable spot.

Path description:
From the starting point we head to the road following the signs for Činžat and Koča na Klopnem vrhu. Initially we walk on an asphalt road that leads us past a few houses, at the intersections we follow the blazes and signs for Koča na Klopnem vrhu. Above the settlement the asphalt ends, the road enters the valley of Lamprehtov potok along which we continue the ascent. Further on the road temporarily becomes asphalted and at 728 meters above sea level turns sharply to the right. There follows a traversing ascent so we gradually distance ourselves from the stream. Higher up there are a few intersections where we continue left at all of them. There follows some moderate ascent to the left and we arrive at the chapel of Sv. Križ from which some views of the surroundings open up.
After the chapel we bypass the Lampreht homestead from above then there follows an easy ascent which we cover in a longer traverse of the slopes of Lamprehtov vrh. When the traverse ends we return to Lamprehtov potok which we cross over a bridge immediately after the bridge the path from Ruše via Zgornji Smolnik joins from the left.
We continue straight on the wider road towards Koča na Klopnem vrhu and also at the next intersection we go straight in the same direction (left Areh and Šumik). There follows some more ascent along the stream and the path leads us to Fišerjeva žaga where we again cross to the other side of the stream.
A few dozen meters further from the stream the marked path turns sharply left from the road while we continue on the road. After the traffic sign warning that we continue on the forest road at our own risk the road enters the forest which we leave at the point where the first cart track branches off sharply to the left. We continue on the cart track and at the nearby junction we choose the lower left cart track. There follows some easy walking then we cross a shorter rather muddy section where we cross a smaller torrent. Further on there are a few more junctions where we keep to the right branches. Higher we cross the macadam road which we left lower down then from a smaller clearing we continue right into the forest. The path further leads us along an older cart track which gently ascends through the forest. At the fork we choose the slightly left cart track along which we ascend from the forest onto an overgrown cutting where the trail ends. From here a few more steps to the indistinct summit.
Činžat - Sv. Križ 1:25, Sv. Križ - Lamprehtov vrh 1:05.
