Ruše - Lorbekov vrh

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Maribor, then follow the signs for Ruše. When we arrive in Ruše, we park at one of the parking lots in the settlement, best near the Ruše post office.
B) From the road Dravograd - Maribor, after the settlement Selnica ob Dravi, we turn right towards Ruše. This is followed by driving across the bridge over the Drava River (the bridge is expected to be closed until 31.10.2022), and then we soon arrive in Ruše, where we park at one of the parking lots in the settlement, best near the Ruše post office.

Path description:
From the place where we have parked, we first walk to Trg vstaje square, where we notice red hiking signposts, but we head to the road in the direction of Ruška koča, Glažuta and Martnica. For a short time we walk on the asphalt road towards Lobnica, then the blazes direct us left, where we first ascend among houses, then the path goes into the forest. After a few minutes of ascent we arrive at a viewpoint, from which a nice view opens up on Ruše, surrounding places and Kozjak, and by which there are three crosses. The path ahead returns into the forest and ascends to an asphalt road, which we follow to the left. Then follows walking on the asphalt road, where we go past individual houses, higher we arrive at a smaller saddle, by which Dobnikov križ is located.
Here we leave the marked path, which continues towards Ruška koča on Areh, and continue sharply left on an unmarked cart track (left along the road homestead Dobnik, straight Areh). After a short ascent we reach a wider cart track, on which we continue the ascent. When a little further we reach a meadow the cart track ends, and at the edge of the forest we continue to the nearby fence, where right along the fence we continue on a beaten path, which takes us into the forest and quickly also to Lorbekov vrh.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in May 2022.
