Sveti Jurij - Kačova mlaka

Access to starting point:
We drive to Gederovci (to here from Radenci or Murska Sobota) and continue driving in the direction of Kuzma. When we arrive in the settlement Sveti Jurij, just a little past the church we turn right and park on the parking lot near the church of St. Jurij and the primary school Sveti Jurij.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue towards the north and walk parallel with the main road, after the police office we go right and descend on the marked road to the sports field, on the other side of the field we arrive at a marked junction.
At the junction, a path branches off to the left leading to Planinska koča Rak, we continue straight and ascend slightly on the macadam road. The road quickly turns right, at the bend we continue straight and follow the ascending marked path, which after a few minutes brings us to the asphalt road. On the road we ascend first gently, then somewhat steeper. Soon after we leave the municipality Rogašovci, the road flattens and brings us out of the forest to an unmarked junction.
Slightly left is the cemetery on Somovski Breg. We choose the slightly right road and begin to descend moderately. We continue the path with nice views on the Goričko landscape, the road further leads past individual houses, at the junctions we continue on the main path or follow the blazes, which are not very frequent. The descent ends on the flat part, where from the marked junction we continue straight towards Grad (left Planinska koča Rak).
A little further over the bridge we cross the stream Lukaj, from the junction where we reach the wider road we go left. The path ahead leads past the bus stop, the wider road we leave already after a few dozen steps and continue right in the direction of Pomurska planinska pot. Further we ascend again on the asphalt road, from which beautiful views open up on the surroundings, higher also looking back on Stradner Kogel in Austria.
When the road flattens we arrive at a smaller hamlet, where the asphalt ends, the road turns right into the forest. A little further the blazes direct us slightly right onto a footpath which continues on a gentle cart track, at the junctions we follow the blazes. For some time we continue without major changes in elevation, after the junction with several cart tracks we gradually begin to descend. Lower we descend on a forest mountain path, when we leave the forest we arrive at Kačova mlaka.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in March and April 2021.
