Stari trg - Sveti Pankracij (Grajski grič) (by the chapels of Way of the Cross)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Slovenj Gradec, and then we continue driving towards Stari trg, Kotlje and Ravne na Koroškem. Before the road starts ascending, from the roundabout we go to the exit in the direction of Stari trg. A little further, we go left and we ascend to a large parking lot by the parish church of St. Radegunda, where we park.
B) We drive to Ravne na Koroškem, then from the roundabout in the middle of the town, we continue in the direction of Kotlje and Slovenj Gradec. Further, we drive through the settlement Pratnekar, and at the beginning of Kotlje we go left towards Slovenj Gradec. A gradual ascent to a smaller pass follows, after that descent towards Slovenj Gradec. When the road stops descending, from the roundabout we go to the exit in the direction of Stari trg. A little further, we go left and we ascend to a large parking lot by the parish church of St. Radegunda, where we park.

Route description:
From the end of the parking lot, we continue on a wide footpath which at the 2nd Station of the Cross splits.
We continue slightly right on the bottom path (slightly left continues a marked path), which for a short time entirely flattens, and after crossing a stream at the next Stations of the Cross starts ascending steeper. Next follows an ascent through a panoramic grassy slope, and then the path returns into the forest and higher joins the macadam road, which we follow to the right, along which we ascend to the top of Grajski grič, where the church of St. Pankracij stands.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in the year 2019 (February).
