Gornji Senik / Felsőszölnök - Guard tower above Eisenberg

Access to starting point:
From the Kuzma - Gornji Petrovci road, at the settlement Martinje we turn onto the road towards Hungary and continue driving towards the place Gornji Senik / Felsőszölnök. After a short descent we arrive in the mentioned place, where we park at the arranged parking lot near the church.

Route description:
From the parking lot we continue along the main road, first passing the church, kindergarten and store to the marked intersection. Here we turn left in the direction of the viewpoint on Janezov breg, and at the cultural center again left in the direction of Tromejnik. The path then leads us past a small fire station, where we turn right in the direction of the hamlet Zgornji Janezov breg / Felsőszölnök-Jánoshegy (straight ahead the path leads towards Tromejnik). Continuing we pass a few more houses, where the path begins to visibly ascend, and the asphalt ends before the forest. We continue the ascent through the forest, initially still past individual houses, then through dense forest on a poorer gravel road that forks higher up.
While the left, somewhat poorer road leads towards the hamlet Zgornji Janezov breg, we continue right and then immediately right again at the cross. Only a few dozen steps of walking follow and we arrive at the viewing tower on Janezov breg.
From the tower we return to the last marked junction, then continue on the poorer road in the direction towards the west. A bit more walking on the road without major ascents or descents follows. A few minutes later we reach the last hamlet, where we go right and then immediately left and follow the marked path, which after the last, completely abandoned house turns into dense forest. In the forest the path soon forks once more, and we choose the slightly right path, along which the green markings continue (to the left the red markings lead, and the path leads towards the western part of the village Gornji Senik). Through the forest we follow the markings, which bring us to the state border between Austria and Hungary, and we follow the path to the guard tower above Eisenberg.

Gornji Senik - viewing tower on Janezov breg 0:25, viewing tower on Janezov breg - Stražni stolp 0:30.
