Janževski Vrh (Uran) - Janževski vrh

Access to starting point:
From the road Maribor - Dravograd, before the settlement Brezno we turn left (from the direction Dravograd right) in the direction of Podvelka, Ribnica na Pohorju and Ribniške koče. After the bridge over the river Drava we get to Podvelka, and we follow the road further in the direction of Ribnica na Pohorju. The path ahead brings us to the settlement Janževski Vrh, and through the valley of the stream Velka we drive to a crossroad 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 crossroad.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue by the main road towards Ribnica na Pohorju, and we walk there a little less than 100 meters, then blazes point us sharply right on a newly made path, which at first steeply ascends. After a few minutes, we reach the cart track, where the path flattens a little, and at the crossings we follow the blazes. A little higher we get to an area which was ravaged by a windstorm, and because of the restoration, the path is somewhat damaged, therefore a little more caution is needed here so that we don't miss the right path. The path ahead brings us on a wider cart track, and along it we step out of the forest and a little further we reach a lonely house of an abandoned homestead Radih.
We continue for a short time with nice views on Pohorje, and then the path, which continues on the road, passes into the forest. For a few minutes we ascend diagonally towards the left, and then at the farm Urnavt we continue right on a marked cart track. There follows an ascent on the cart track, where at the crossings we again follow the blazes, and then we step out of the forest on panoramic grassy slopes, where the footpath vanishes. We continue straight upwards towards the nearby house, which we bypass on the right side, and when we reach the cart track, we follow it to the right. From the cart track, after a smaller garage we go left and we ascend by the edge of the forest, where a blaze directs us left into the forest. There follows an ascent through a short stretch of forest, and then on the upper grassy slope in a minute or two we get to the church and hunting cottage on Janževski vrh.
