Janževski Vrh (Uran) - Klančnik (Glančnik) (via Sveti Ignacij)

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 Ribniška koča. 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 Lehen na Pohorju. We park on a smaller arranged parking lot by the crossroad.

Route description:
From the crossroad, we go on 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 we get to the settlement Lehen na Pohorju, where we continue along the stream and past individual houses. When the valley widens a little we get to a smaller crossroad, 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). Just a few dozen steps we still walk on a gently sloping road, after that signposts for Rdeči Breg point us to the left towards the nearby log cabin, which we bypass on the left side, and behind it we pass into the forest and we continue on a cart track, where at some crossings we follow the blazes.
Higher, we cross a grazing fence, and then at the edge of the pasture, we continue the ascent to the homestead Bobovnik, where at the buildings we reach the macadam road which ascends diagonally towards the left. The road soon turns sharply to the right, and then crosses slopes towards the right, and we walk on it to the spot, where blazes point us to the left on a marked path, which ascends steeper to another road which we follow to the left. Next follows a walk on an asphalt road, and at a smaller crossing, we continue slightly right on the upper road (slightly left road leads to the homestead Pečovnik).
When just a little further an asphalt road turns sharply right, we go on a cart track which starts ascending through the forest and after a few steps it splits. We continue on the right marked cart track which soon becomes quite steep. Higher, we leave the forest and past the house we get to the church of sv. Ignacija.
From the church, we continue right and on the south side bypass Hlebov vrh. Further, we also go past the homestead Hleb, and then through the forest diagonally descend to the spot, where we reach a somewhat wider road.
We go on the road which leads slightly left, and next to it, there are signs for Lovrenc na Pohorju (sharply right we can return to Janževski Vrh and Lehen na Pohorju). On the asphalt road, we then go also past two homesteads, and then after the cross we get to a crossing, where from the right a path also joins past Brabar (starting point Lovrenc na Pohorju and Janževski Vrh).
We continue straight to the nearby homestead Hudej, which we bypass on the left side, and then we continue on a macadam road in the direction of the hunting cottage Klančnik (also Glančnik). Next follows a few minutes of light to moderate ascent and the road brings us to the parking lot near the hunting cottage. From the parking lot in a minute of additional walking, we walk to the Hunting cottage Klančnik, from which a nice view opens up towards the central part of Pohorje.
From the hunting cottage, we go on the path in the direction of HE Ožbalt, so that we bypass the hunting cottage on the left side. Next follows a few minutes of a panoramic ascent on a grassy slope and we reach the 877 m high peak.
Starting point - sv. Ignacij 1:25, sv. Ignacij - hunting cottage 0:30, hunting cottage - peak 0:05.
