St. John the Baptist on Ojstrica - Huhnerkogel/Košenjak

Access to starting point:
We drive to the center of Dravograd (to here from Maribor through the Dravska Valley or from Velenje through Slovenj Gradec), where signs for Ojstrica direct us onto the road which after 6.5 km brings us to the church of St. Janez Krstnik on Ojstrica near which we park on the parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the church, we continue on the asphalt road which quickly brings us to a crossroad by which we notice numerous signposts.
We continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut (sharply right St. Urban) on the road that gently ascends and from grassy slopes passes into a short stretch of forest. The road, which further takes us across panoramic meadows, brings us just a little before the mountain hut to the next crossroad, where we continue sharply right (straight hunting cottage) and in a few further steps arrive at the mentioned hut.
From the mountain hut, we return a few steps back to the information board on which there is a stamping box and a signpost for Košenjak. We continue the ascent in the direction of Košenjak on the path which already after a few further steps of walking enters the forest. The path ahead ascends moderately to steeply through mostly dense forest, which higher brings us to the place where a wider cart track (almost a road) joins.
The mentioned cart track we only cross (left Košenjak gentle path) as the markings direct us onto a wide path which starts to ascend transversely through the spruce forest. Higher the path passes from the forest onto a more extensive clearing at the end of which a path from the chapel of St. Urban joins us from the right and just a little further also the path from Austria. We continue left and follow the gentle path which further runs along the border strip all the way to the top of Košenjak, which we reach after a few further steps of walking.
