Path description:
From the parking lot, we go ahead on the road past the chapel and monument of NOB victims. From here on we go on the road past the primary school Andraž nad Polzelo. We soon get to a day bar Gričar, where there is an inscription book and a stamp. We continue forward in the direction of farm Blagotinšek. On the path we will notice several signs for path Andraška pot, but they are all marked, to which destination they lead. We stick to the signs for farm Blagotinšek. On the left on the hill we soon notice a linden tree with a nice vantage point. Here we can nicely see Gora Oljka. After about 15 minutes from Gričar, we get to Blagotinšek, where there is an inscription box, stamp and a sign for Brunški vrh. From here on we have for approximately 45 minutes of walking. Ahead from Blagotinšek we will notice a sign for path Andraška pot, which turns left downwards past the business building. We follow it. At some house we again turn left downwards on a meadow path. We go past the hayrack and right downwards into the forest. We come on a macadam road by which runs a stream. After few minutes, we get to signs for path Andraška pot. We turn left and then soon right uphill. We walk on the path and we cross a well. We follow the blazes, which are well visible. We soon come out of the forest on the pasture. We cross an electric fence and we go on the path through a meadow. On a birch we soon notice a blaze. It leads us to the business building and then on the road. There we go past houses to the hill, where on the left we notice signs for path Andraška pot and a stamp of Brunški vrh. We follow the sign for a stamp (žig). After few meters of walking a sign for stamp points us on a forest path towards the top of the hill. There are stairs, the path is well marked. In the middle of the hill, we again notice signs for path Andraška pot, because some hikers come from the farm Praprotnik, and others from Blagotinšek. This part of the path is now the same for both directions, because the other path in the direction of Blagotinšek is closed. We go on the path, where there is a stamp. When we come to the top, we can take the stamp and write into an inscription book.
