Janževski Vrh (Uran) - Hunting cottage Klančnik (via Sveti Ignacij)

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 crossroads at the inn and store Uran, where a road branches off to the left towards Lovrenc and Lehnu na Pohorju. We park on a smaller arranged parking lot by the crossroads.

Route description:
From the crossroads, we head onto the left road, along which there are signs for Lovrenc na Pohorju, Ruše and Rdeči Breg as well as a road sign for Lehen na Pohorju (right - Janževski Vrh and Ribnica na Pohorju). Immediately after the crossroads, we cross the Velka stream 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 crossroads, from which we continue left in the direction of Rdeči Breg, sv. Ignacija and hunting cottage (straight - driving road to the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju). We walk only a few dozen steps more on the gently sloping road, then the mountain signs for Rdeči Breg direct us left towards the nearby log cabin, which we bypass on the left side, behind it we enter the forest and continue on the cart track, where at several junctions we follow the blazes.
Higher up we cross a pasture fence, then along the edge of the pasture we continue the ascent to the homestead Bobovnik, where at the buildings we reach the macadam road, which rises transversely to the left. The road soon turns sharply to the right, then crosses the slopes to the right, and we walk along it to the place where the blazes direct us left onto the marked path, which rises more steeply to another road, which we then follow to the left. Walking on the asphalt road follows, at a smaller junction we continue slightly right on the upper road (slightly left road leads to the homestead Pečovnik).
When just a little further ahead the asphalt road turns sharply right, we take the cart track, which begins to ascend through the forest and forks after a few steps. We continue on the right marked cart track, which soon becomes quite steep. Higher up we leave the forest and past the house we arrive at the church of sv. Ignacija.
From the church we continue right and bypass Hlebov vrh on the southern side. Further on we go past the homestead Hleb as well, then transversely descend through the forest to the place where we reach a somewhat wider road.
We head onto the road which leads slightly left, along which there are signs for Lovrenc na Pohorju (sharply right we can return to Janževski Vrh and Lehna na Pohorju). On the asphalt road we then go past two more homesteads, behind them after the cross we arrive at a junction, where the path past Brabar joins us from the right (starting point Lovrenc na Pohorju and Janževski Vrh).
We continue straight to the nearby homestead Hudej, which we bypass on the left side, then continue on the macadam road in the direction of the hunting cottage Klančnik (also Glančnik). A few minutes of gentle to moderate ascent follow and the road takes 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.
Starting point - sv. Ignacij 1:25, sv. Ignacij - hunting cottage 0:30.
