Gradišče - Kremžarjev vrh

Access to starting point:
We drive to Slovenj Gradec (from Velenje, Dravograd or Ravne na Koroškem), then from the roundabout at the Hofer store we take the exit for Legen and Kope. Then follows driving through the Legensko naselje settlement, after which we leave the road towards Kope and continue straight on a side road in the direction of Gradišče. Further on, we drive through the valley of the stream Reka and soon turn left in the direction of the Gradiščar homestead. Next follows some diagonal ascent, where we go past a few houses, and when the road turns sharply right, we continue straight and park on the marked parking lot, which is situated by the intersection and sign.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road that continues towards the east (at the intersection where we parked, we can also start along the Stations of the Cross or on an unmarked path that branches off the road right at the intersection - all paths join after a few minutes), and after approximately one minute of walking, we join the marked path from Slovenj Gradec. We continue on the road for a short time, then the blazes direct us slightly left onto a footpath that ascends through the forest. Quickly, the previously mentioned unmarked path joins us from the left, and a little higher, at the crossing of the macadam road, the path along the Stations of the Cross also joins.
Next follows an ascent over a panoramic grassy slope, then after crossing a poor road we re-enter the forest. We quickly leave the forest and arrive at the second hayfield, along the edge of which we continue to a smaller hamlet where we step onto the road. Here, along the road that we follow for a few meters, we notice a cross and then head left onto a wide cart track, which we leave after a few meters. The signs direct us right uphill onto a path that leads us through the forest to the next hamlet. Here we again step onto the road, which we follow left. After a few minutes of walking along the road, we reach an intersection where we continue straight on the lower road that brings us to the next hamlet. Just a few meters before the house, the marked path turns left and continues along a cart track. We then follow this path to the next hamlet, after which we walk a few meters along the road. The blazes here again direct us onto a footpath that a little higher crosses the road once more. After that, the path ascends a bit more steeply for a short time and brings us to a junction where the path from Dravograd joins. Here we continue right and after a short ascent along a partly unvegetated slope we reach the Koča pod Kremžarjevim vrhom hut.
From the hut we continue left in the direction of Kremžarjev vrh. After a few minutes, the path brings us to an interesting chapel that is half open and half glassed. Here we continue straight and follow the path that leads us gently uphill across a panoramic slope where a view towards Košenjak opens up. The path then enters the forest, which does not end even at the summit, which we reach after a few minutes of further walking.
