Janževski Vrh (Uran) - Hunting cottage Klančnik (via Brabar and Hudej)

Access to starting point:
From the road Maribor - Dravograd, before the settlement Brezno we turn left (from the direction of Dravograd right) in the direction of Podvelka, Ribnica na Pohorju and Ribniška koča. After the bridge over the river Drava we arrive in Podvelka, and we follow the road further in the direction of Ribnica na Pohorju. The road ahead brings us to the settlement Janževski Vrh, and through the valley of the stream Velka we drive to the crossroad at the inn and store Uran, where a road branches off to the left towards Lovrenc and Lehen na Pohorju. We park on a smaller arranged parking lot by the crossroad.

Route description:
From the crossroad, we head onto the left road, by which there are signs for Lovrenc na Pohorju, Ruše, Rdeči Breg and a road sign for Lehen na Pohorju (right - Janževski Vrh and Ribnica na Pohorju). Immediately after the crossroad, we cross the stream Velka and arrive in the settlement Lehen na Pohorju, where we continue along the stream and past individual houses. When the valley widens a little we arrive at a smaller crossroad, from which we continue left in the direction of Rdeči Breg, sv. Ignacij and hunting cottage (straight - driving road to the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju). Just a few dozen steps ahead a normal marked path branches off to the left to the church of sv. Ignacij, and we continue straight, on the road, by which further we notice some local signs (signs lead to the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju). The path ahead leads us through Brabarjev graben, where at first we still walk past houses, higher the road passes into the forest and begins to ascend steeper. Higher, we reach a smaller crossroad, where we continue sharply left (straight - homestead Zgornji Povh) and ascend diagonally to a smaller saddle, where we join the marked path from Lovrenc na Pohorju.
From the saddle, where on the right there is a signpost, we continue slightly right from the left road, where we continue on the cart track (we head onto the cart track located on the opposite side of the cross).
The path ahead leads us on the cart track, by which the blazes are quite rare, a little further, when we reach a somewhat wider cart track we continue right (if we continue left the cart track ends quickly), first somewhat downhill, when we approach the road, we continue straight and continue further on the cart track. We walk a few steps on the wider cart track, then we go slightly left onto the steeper cart track, which soon brings us out of the forest, where we notice signs for the church of sv. Ignacij. We continue through a strip of forest, then we arrive at the homestead Brabar, where we again approach the macadam road quite closely. We bypass the homestead on the left side, then we head slightly right and ascend to the edge of the forest, where the path splits.
We continue on the slightly left cart track, by which there are signs for sv. Ignacij, further some junctions follow, where we choose the cart track that ascends, at some junctions we can also notice signs or faded blazes. Higher the path becomes increasingly panoramic, at the signpost we reach the asphalt road, which we follow to the right (left - sv. Ignacij and Hlebov vrh).
Already after a few steps we arrive at the homestead Hudej, which we bypass on the left side and continue with the path in the direction of the Hunting cottage Klančnik (also Glančnik). A few minutes of gentle to moderate ascent follow and the road brings us to the parking lot near the hunting cottage. From the parking lot we walk in one minute of further walking to the Hunting cottage Klančnik, from which a nice view opens towards the central part of Pohorje.
