Gajševsko jezero - Castle Branek (Mallegg)

Access to starting point:
We leave Pomurska highway at the Vučja vas exit, and then follow the signs for Ljutomer. When we arrive in Ključarovci, from the roundabout after the Petrol gas station, we take the exit toward the center of Ključarovci. We continue through the settlement, and when Ključarovci ends, from the crossroad we proceed straight toward the settlements of Grabe and Branoslavci. When the settlement of Grabe ends, we cross the Ščavnica river, then turn right into the parking lot by lake Gajševsko jezero, where the described path begins.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on an asphalt road which isn't marked but is part of the learning trail Pot po posutih zvezdicah, continuing south and bringing us in a few minutes to the settlement Branoslavci (the local name of the settlement was Prnožlavci), where at the crossroads by the fire station the first blazes appear.
We continue left (right Mala Nedelja) and proceed along the Pomurje Mountain Trail, which we leave at the first crossroads and continue right, where the 8th point of the path Pot po posutih zvezdicah is located. Next follows a short ascent, where the path leads us past a few houses, and higher up we reach the former castle Branek, where an information board is also located.
The description refers to the condition in September 2024, and the pictures are from April 2023 and September 2024.
