Lovrenc na Pohorju - Sveti Ignacij (Rdeči Breg)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive by car from Maribor in the direction towards Dravograd. Approximately 20 km from Maribor we turn left onto the bridge over the river Drava. Below the railway bridge in the hamlet Ruta we continue driving straight. At the next crossroad, we turn right, and then we drive through the hamlet Puščava. Then the road brings us to the settlement Kurja vas, where at the crossroad we keep straight. On the bottom side we see a well-known factory of scythes and sickles, after approx. 2 km we arrive at the center of the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju, where we can already park at an appropriate place.
B) First, we drive to Dravograd, and then we continue driving towards Maribor. A few kilometers after the place Ožbalt we turn right onto the bridge over the river Drava. Further, we follow the description above.

Path description:
We start the trail in the center of Lovrenc at the cross church at Spodnji trg 4. We go westwards past the monument and along the street past the primary school.
At the crossroad, we turn left onto the road descending through the forest to the next crossroad, where we cross the stream Slepnica. We turn left again and continue along the road by the stream. After approximately 200 m, the mountain signpost directs us to the right (direction Sveti Ignacij). The path turns to macadam, and at the next crossroad the road splits into three branches. We take the middle one as directed by the sign on the power pole. The road ascends the hill below the homestead. Soon a view opens up on central Pohorje and the place Lovrenc na Pohorju. Higher up, we turn right and go across the farmyard and further into the forest. For some time the path ascends, then runs more level and turns left across the slope. Out of the forest we step into an orchard, to the left below the house on the edge of the forest, where a nice view opens up again. Further we go into the forest along the forest road, but only a few meters or to the place where on the left we spot the mark that directs us onto the footpath. We cross the road several times, keep to the left directions and then go steeply upwards. When we step onto the road again, we go in the direction of homestead Zg. Dobnik. We cross the yard, across the meadow and again into the forest. Past the shrine by the path we come to a fork, where we keep to the left direction (right leads the path to the hunting cottage Glančnik). Out of the forest we come onto a meadow, across which we arrive at homestead Hudej (843 m). We step onto the road, where we are at the junction. The signpost directs us left (direction sv. Ignacij and Hlebov vrh).
We continue the trail along the road, along which there are themed points. Further we walk past the homestead and through a small strip of forest. Now we see Hlebov vrh on the right side, while we walk along the road to homestead Hleb and after 5 minutes we are at the little church of sv. Ignacij (890 m).
