Činžat - Sveti Križ (Kumen)

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, on the saddle where we notice the red hiking signposts the described path begins. At the intersection there are no arranged parking places, so we park a little aside at a suitable place.
B) We drive into Ruše, then we 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 places, so we park a little aside at a suitable place.

Path description:
From the starting point, we head to the road following the signs for Činžat and Koča na Klopnem vrhu. At first, we walk on an asphalt road which leads us past a few houses, and at the crossroads, we follow the blazes and signs for Koča na Klopnem vrhu. Above the settlement, the asphalt ends, and 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. Then follows a traverse ascent, so that we gradually distance ourselves from the stream. Higher up there follow some crossroads, and at all of them we continue left. Then follows some moderate ascent towards the left and we arrive at the chapel of Sv. Križa, from which some views open onto the surroundings.
