Vurberk - Grmada (at Vurberk) - southeastern peak

Access to starting point:
Leave the Styrian motorway at the Maribor - center exit, then follow the signs for Dogoše and Spodnji Duplek. Continue following the signs for Vurberk, from the roundabout in Dvorjane take the exit towards Ptuj. When the road rises higher, we arrive at a junction near which there is a cemetery on the left and the Vurberk Cultural Centre on the right. Park in the parking lot below the cemetery, or in the parking lot next to the cultural centre.

Route description:
From the parking lot, head towards Grmada where we first walk along the road towards the cemetery, but after a few steps we reach a right bend, where we continue straight onto the footpath to Grmada. A short ascent follows on a forest trail, then we reach a cart track, which we follow to the left. We walk along the cart track to the nearby widening, then continue slightly right onto the marked path, which then ascends transversely across the steeper slope. After a few minutes, the path levels out and takes us to the saddle between the two Grmadas.
Continue right onto the unmarked path (slightly left the marked path continues and leads to the main, i.e., northwest peak of Grmada), which continues along the cart track.
A short steep ascent follows; when the path levels out, we reach the indistinct southeast peak of Grmada.
