The trail starts at the parking lot near the beautiful baroque Church of St. George in Pleškovec and includes several fascinating sites in the municipality of Sv. Juraj na Bregu. The trail first leads to the Jegerseg retention area, a lovely artificial lake, and an interesting wetland habitat year-round. It then continues for a kilometer along the Goričica stream towards Bajkovita šuma (Cro. Enchanted Forest) picnic area. After that, the trail leads toward the Bedekovićeve Grabe Nature Monument, a protected habitat for various animal and plant species. Following the Pleškovec stream, you arrive at a beautiful forest path, leading uphill to the peak of Međimurje – Mohokos (344 m). From Mohokos, you return along a route that overlaps with the MPP, past the Margetica spring along the way. The trail is accessible year-round.
