The path starts in front of the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary through the center of the town. You walk on the sidewalk. You pass by shops and cafes, ideal for stocking your backpack with the necessary supplies for the trip.

On the left you pass by a large football field and there the road ends, you walk on the main road. Caution is required, but the road is not busy and is wide enough along the edge to get off the road if necessary.

After 4 km you will come to a turn to the left where the Camino path goes, but before that we recommend walking 250m straight to the Repaš Bridge. You will definitely notice the speed and power of the Drava. You can return to the Camino path along the road.

The path continues on a gravel road along the embankment. This part of the Camino is reminiscent of the famous Meseta areas in Spain. You need to walk about 10 km along the embankment. But before the boring part of the flat embankment begins (which also has its beautiful sides..meditation at its best)

The road will turn left towards Lake Čingi Lingi. Čingi Lingi is an artificial lake created by digging gravel on the left side of the Molve – Repaš road, about 3 km from the town of Molvi and 1.5 km from the Repaš Bridge. It is located in a natural environment along the Drava River and is one of the main tourist destinations in the municipality of Molve. The town of Čingi Lingi also bears the same name and is mostly a weekend village surrounding one of the three lakes. Čingi Lingi consists of 3 lakes with a total area of ​​18 hectares and an average depth of 16 meters.

During the summer, you can also swim in the lake. The Camino path after Čingi Lingi will lead you through the edge of the forest, past several houses and after a winding path you will find yourself on the embankment again. Be sure to wear head protection during the summer heat.

At one point along the embankment on the right, you will see the Drava again. And when you have had enough of the embankment and the plains in the distance, a rest area along the Drava can be seen on the right side of the Camino trail.

Be sure to take a break along the Drava there, enjoy the naive sculptures.

The Camino trail takes you along the only dusty, gravel road next to the forest to the road, which is the place Komatnica. You will see a community center, a school, and a small, built-up chapel. The Camino arrows lead you left along the road to Hlebinane, which is 5 km away.

At one point, the asphalt road ends and becomes gravel, and through the fields you soon come to the Hlebine sign, with the tower of the church in Hlebinane visible in the distance. When entering the town of Hlebine, you need to follow the asphalt road again. As you pass through the village, you will first pass the Gallery of Naive Art on the left, in front of which is a sculpture park. The gallery is located in the center of the village, across from the municipality and the store.

A few meters ahead, on the left side, is the Church in Hlebine, built in 1833/1834 in the Romanesque style. Religious life in the parish of Hlebine is very intense. In 1899, teacher Lovro Dolenec came to Hlebine and founded a church choir that is still active today. The people of Hlebine are proud of their priests, over ten of them in the period from 1854 to the present. Through the joint efforts of the parish and the faithful, two chapels were built and the rectory manor was completely renovated. The Hlebine Church of St. Catherine is famous for its Stations of the Cross. Hlebine artists painted the 14 Stations of the Cross on glass, as well as other paintings that adorn the interior of the church.
