Radlje ob Dravi - Sveti Trije Kralji (above Radlje ob Dravi)

Access to starting point:
From the road Dravograd - Maribor, in Radlje ob Dravi, from the crossroad at store Lidl, we drive in the direction of center of the settlement and mountain pass Radeljski prelaz. After the crossroad, we drive also past the store Hofer and past the turn-off of the road to the left towards Sveti Trije Kralji, and at the next crossroad left towards Austria. Immediately after the crossroad, we go once again left and we park on a larger asphalt parking lot near the mansion Dvorec Radlje.

Path description:
At the parking lot signs for Sveti Trije Kralji and Bricnik point us on the path towards the mansion Dvorec Radlje, and from there we go quickly right downwards and on a wide path we descend to an asphalt road which we follow to the right. Next follows a walk on street Samostanska ulica, where we go past few houses, and at the crossroads, we follow the blazes. Further, we walk on the asphalt road which leads us through the valley of the stream Radeljski potok, and from the crossroad by numerous signposts, we go slightly left in the direction of a marked path. Few minutes ahead an asphalt ends, and the road higher turns right, so that it leaves the valley. The path ahead leads us also past a religious symbol, and behind it we soon go left, because blazes point us on a footpath. Next follows an ascent through the forest, where we soon cross a macadam road, and when we the next time reach the macadam road, we reach it right at the crossroad.
We continue on the upper road towards Bricnik. Next follows a left hairpin turn, and behind it, we get to a smaller hamlet, where the road turns back to the right. Next follows also a walk past the homestead Sitar, above which a beautiful view opens up, and then the path which continues on a cart track passes into the forest. Higher on the left side a nice view opens up, which reaches from Uršlja gora to Peca, and in good visibility all the way to Kamnik Savinja Alps. With nice views we reach homestead Navšnik, where from the right side joins the path from Kapunar or homestead Razdevšek, which is situated in the valley of the stream Radeljski potok. Few steps above the crossing we continue right and we start ascending diagonally on a macadam road, and at the nearby crossroad, we go left. Next follows a diagonal ascent towards the left, and during the crossing, the road branches off to the left towards the homestead Pušej. We continue straight, and when we reach the ridge, we go sharply right in the direction of Sveti Trije Kralji (straight - Bricnik), so that we on the left side bypass a newer house. At the religious symbol the road returns into the forest, and there in a moderate ascent we walk until we get to few minutes distant church of Holy Three Kings, from which a beautiful view opens up.
