Access to starting point:
We drive to Murska Sobota, and then we continue driving towards the border crossing Hodoš. In Gornji Petrovci from a little bigger crossroad we continue left in the direction of settlements Kuzma and Martinje. When we get to Šulinci, at the village fire station we leave the main road which turns right and we continue straight on a side road which on the left side bypasses the fire station. When Šulinci end, we soon get to the memorial Balon, and we drive approximately 50 meters further to a marked parking lot, where we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of village Boreča, and we leave the main road after few minutes, when signs for Martinje and holiday cottage point us to the right on a side road. We continue on a narrower asphalt road which after the holiday cottage loses an asphalt covering, and then we continue by the edge of the forest, where we go past another house. The path ahead partly leads through the forest, and partly by the edge of meadows and it is barely ascending.
After approximately 35 minutes of walking, we get to a crossing, where we continue straight on an unmarked bad road (to the left continues a marked path towards Tromejnik and another path on Srebrni breg), which ascends steeper and in few minutes brings us to a hamlet with few houses, where the road again becomes asphalted. Next follows a shorter ascent and we get to the chapel of Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Martinje, which is situated few steps left from the path and from which a beautiful view opens up.
