Sotina - Činčev breg (via the source of mineral water)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Gederovci (to here from Radenci or Murska Sobota) and continue driving in the direction of Kuzma. When we get to the settlement Sotina we pay attention, because at the bus stop, by which we notice hiking signposts, the described path begins. We park at a suitable place nearby.
B) We drive to Kuzma (to here from the settlement Grad, Mačkovci or Petrovci), and then we continue driving towards Sotina and Austria. When Kuzma ends, there follows some ascent, and then a descent, where from the junction with the priority road we continue left. Further on, we quickly get to Sotina, where we go past the cemetery, and then about 300 m further we get to the bus stop, by which there are hiking signposts. We park at a suitable place nearby.

Path description:
From the bus stop, we continue on a side road which lightly ascends towards the northwest, and at the smaller junction we go straight. Before the road crosses a smaller stream, we leave it and continue slightly right on a footpath which continues through a meadow. The nearby field we bypass on the left side, and then we go over a small bridge on the left side (right bank) of the stream. Next follows a walk along the stream, occasionally a few meters above the stream, where we cross steeper slopes. A quite gentle path then quickly brings us to an interesting mineral spring.
From the spring we continue on a marked path, which further leads through an interesting avenue of trees, which ends with a marked junction.
To the left continues a marked path to Sotinski breg, and we go right in the direction of Činčev breg, where we get very close to the state border between Slovenia and Austria. Next follows an ascent on a cart track which a little higher turns right and then ascends transversely. The cart track soon ends, and on easier pathless terrain we continue in the same direction, and we quickly reach an indistinct ridge, along which we continue the ascent. When after a few minutes the ridge overhangs into the level summit terrain of Činčev breg, a path appears, which we follow to the left, and it turns semicircularly to the right. At the two following junctions we go left and reach the highest point of Činčev breg, which is located in the forest.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in February 2021.
