Orešnik - Sveta Barbara above Slovenj Gradec

Access to starting point:
From Velenje or Dravograd we drive to Slovenj Gradec, here at the roundabout, which is located on the main road Dravograd - Velenje, we take the exit Kope and Legan. The road then soon brings us to the next junction, where we continue straight in the direction of Gradišče. The road then brings us to a junction, where "farms" are marked. Here we continue right and follow the road to the next junction, where we continue right again uphill. Further, we drive only a short time to the next junction, where we continue sharply right uphill. After a few dozen meters of driving the road comes to the "farm" Hriberšek behind which the road turns sharply left. Further, we drive only a short time, and then behind the torrent, which we have just crossed, the described path begins. At the starting point, there are no arranged parking spaces, but they have arranged a parking lot somewhat aside by the picnic area Vinišnik.

Route description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road, after a few minutes of walking the road crosses the marked path. Here we leave the road and go left uphill on a cart track which first steeply then moderately ascends through the forest. We follow this path for a good half hour to the spot where it brings us to the road. Here is a junction of four roads and our footpath, which we leave here. Further, we continue on the road in the direction of Sveta Barbara (the turn-off is marked). Further, we continue on the road which is not marked but, since the road to the church has no junctions, the orientation is not difficult. On the road, which occasionally slightly descends then ascends, we walk approximately 40 minutes to the spot where on the right side of the road, just a few meters away, we notice the church.
