Access to starting point:
We drive to Radlje ob Dravi, and then we continue driving towards the mountain pass Radeljski prelaz. After a few kilometers of ascent we arrive at the border crossing Radelj, where we park.
Path description:
On the Austrian side of the pass we notice hiking signposts, including for the mountain hut Kapunerhütte, which point us sharply right onto a macadam road. We ascend along the road to the edge of the forest, where we continue left onto the road closed to public traffic. We ascend the road for a few minutes, then the blazes point us slightly right onto a marked footpath which ascends through a clearing and from which some views open up. Above the clearing, the path enters the forest and on the Austrian side bypasses the peak Radelj (784 m). During the traverse a nice view opens up temporarily towards Golica / Koralpe, then the path reaches the state border along which it continues. Next follows an ascent along the edge of a meadow, where on the left stands a larger private hut, and with nice views we ascend to the upper edge of the meadow, where the path returns into the forest. Through the forest we follow the blazes, and the path temporarily reaches a cart track at the sign.
From the cart track we go immediately slightly right and ascend through the next clearing, from where a nice view opens up again, this time somewhat more towards the Slovenian side, where we clearly see Uršlja gora and Peca. Higher, the path for some time runs along a mesh fence, later it begins to descend slightly. Next follows a gentle traversing descent and crossing of a cart track, then we arrive at the mountain hut Kapunerhütte.
From the hut we continue towards sv. Pankracij / St. Pongratzen, where we begin to ascend diagonally through the forest. Higher, the path turns right and quickly brings us to the state border, where in a few steps we descend to a marked junction.
From the junction we continue along the state border (slightly left sv. Pankracij, slightly right hut of amateur radio operators on Kapunar, sharply right Radlje ob Dravi). The path ahead is not marked, but orientation presents no problems as we follow the state border. Initially some views open up towards Austria, then the path enters the forest and brings us to the indistinct peak of Kapunar.
