Braslovško jezero - Grmada (Dobrovlje)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Maribor highway, take the Šentrupert exit, then continue driving towards Mozirje and Logarska Valley. At the settlement of Parižlje, leave the main road and continue left towards Braslovče. When you arrive in Braslovče, more precisely in the centre of the settlement near the church, at the crossroads continue slightly left towards Braslovško Lake. Further on, drive along a somewhat narrower road, along which you quickly arrive at the parking lot by the already mentioned lake.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we first walk to the nearby inn Jezero, then continue on the marked path, which bypasses Braslovško Lake on the right side. On the other side of the lake, we continue briefly across the meadow, then arrive at a road, which we follow to the left. Soon we approach a residential house, in front of which we turn left, then immediately after crossing a small stream, continue right onto a cart track. The cart track first continues through the forest, then takes us to the meadows, where it begins to fade. At the end of the meadow, we first go a few steps to the left, then notice a cart track that turns sharply to the right. We continue along the mentioned cart track, which quickly climbs to the nearby macadam road, which we follow to the right. The path ahead descends slightly and joins another road. We continue in the same direction and gently climb to the nearby farm. On the other side of the farm, the path first climbs slightly, then turns right onto a cart track, along which we cross the slopes to the right. After a few minutes of crossing, we reach an asphalt road, which we soon leave as the blazes direct us to a footpath that climbs through the forest. Higher up, we cross the road once again, then, when we step onto it again, walk along it to the place where the path from Letuš joins. Here we leave the road and continue the ascent along a ladder, which helps with the steep climb, then continue the ascent through the forest. The path ahead leads past a bench, after which we are soon back on the road. We follow the road to the left, but walk only a few metres along it, then continue right onto a footpath, which soon crosses the road again. The path ahead leads across a shorter, partly overgrown clearing, from which a view opens onto Bezovec. Higher up, we continue along the road for a few minutes, then climb a marked shortcut to Covnikov Cross.
Here we continue right (straight to Bezovec 15 minutes) and at the smaller crossroads again right. We continue along the panoramic asphalt road, along which after a few minutes of gentle descent we arrive at Dom na Dobrovljah.
At the hut, we leave the asphalt road and continue along the macadam road towards Čreta. The road quickly takes us to a small hamlet, where we continue right, then behind the houses continue along a cart track towards Čreta. The well-marked cart track begins to descend across an initially still panoramic slope, then enters a strip of forest, where it also crosses a macadam road. A gentle ascent follows to the nearby Kokovnik farm, then we walk to the nearby chapel. At the chapel, the path enters the forest, then after a short descent joins the asphalt road. Along the road we moderately ascend for some time, then the path from Nazarije and Mozirje joins. Here we continue straight and climb along the road to the marked crossroads.
At the crossroads, we continue sharply left towards the footpath to Čreta (straight Čreta car access). We continue along the forest road, which along the edge of the meadow takes us to the next crossroads.
This time too we continue left (right Čreta) and continue the ascent following the signs for St. Janez and Pavel. The road, which continues across a gentle grassy slope, quickly takes us to the Planinšek farm, behind which it temporarily enters a very narrow strip of forest. The forest ends immediately, and the path past the chapel quickly takes us to the already previously mentioned church of St. Janez and Pavel.
At the church, we continue right towards Grmada and continue along the gentle cart track, which enters the forest. The cart track soon climbs more moderately and takes us to the summit of Grmada in a few minutes.
