Grad Grad na Goričkem - Kripta (on Graščakova pot)

Access to starting point:
A) From Murska Sobota we drive towards Gederovci, and in Černelavci we go right in the direction of Grad. Further, we drive through few more settlements, where at the crossroads we continue in the direction of Grad. When the road starts visibly descending towards Grad, at sharp the left turn we leave it and we continue straight in the direction of the castle. Next follows a little more than 100 meters of driving and we park on a parking lot before the castle Grad na Goričkem.
B) We drive to Kuzma, and then we follow the signs for Grad. In Grad after the store Spar we go left in the direction of Murska Sobota and we start visibly ascending. When we get to a crossroad, where the main road turns sharply right, we continue left towards the castle. Next follows a little more than 100 meters of driving and we park on a parking lot before the castle Grad na Goričkem.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the castle and at the information board we continue sharply left on a forest path which continues without large changes in altitude. Already after few steps, the path branches off to the right towards the valley, and we go straight and we continue on a cart track which starts gradually descending. For some time we are moderately descending through the forest, and when we reach the asphalt road we continue the ascent there to the nearby left hairpin turn, where we leave the asphalt road and we continue straight on a macadam path. A macadam road is for few minutes ascending, and at the crossing, we go right in the direction of Kripta.
We continue on a worse macadam road which is with nice views, which reach all the way to Austria, lightly descending. When the descent ends, we step into the forest and after few 10 strides of a light ascent we reach Kripta.
Description and pictures refer to a condition in March 2021.
