Braslovško jezero - Sveti Janez in Pavel (Dobrovlje)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Maribor highway, take the Šentrupert exit, then continue driving in the direction of Mozirje and Logarska dolina. At the settlement Parižlje, leave the main road and continue driving left in the direction of Braslovče. When we arrive in Braslovče, more precisely in the center of the settlement near the church, at the crossroad continue slightly left in the direction of Braslovško jezero. Further, we drive on a somewhat narrower road, on which we quickly arrive at the parking lot at the already mentioned lake.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we first walk to the nearby inn Jezero, then continue on the marked path that bypasses Braslovško jezero 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 smaller stream, continue right onto a cart track. The cart track first continues through the forest, then takes us to meadows, where it begins to fade. At the end of the meadow, we first continue 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 ascends to the nearby macadam road, which we follow to the right. The path ahead gently descends and joins another road. We continue in the same direction and gently ascend to the nearby farm. On the other side of the farm, the path first ascends 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 ascends through the forest. Higher up, we cross the road once again, then, when we step onto it again, we follow it to the place where the path from Letuš joins. Here we leave the road and continue the ascent along a ladder that helps with the steep ascent, 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 meters 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 of Bezovec opens up. Higher up, we continue along the road for a few minutes, then ascend via a marked shortcut to Covnikov križ.
Here we continue right (straight to Bezovec 15 minutes) and at the smaller crossroad again right. We continue along the scenic 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 in the direction of Čreta. The road quickly brings us to a smaller hamlet, where we continue right, then behind the houses continue along a cart track in the direction of Čreta. The well-marked cart track begins to descend across an initially still scenic slope, then enters a strip of forest, where it also crosses a macadam road. A gentle ascent follows to the nearby farm Kokovnik, then we walk to the nearby chapel. At the chapel, the path enters the forest, then after a short descent joins an asphalt road. Along the road, we ascend moderately for some time, then the path from Nazarije and Mozirje joins us. Here we continue straight and ascend along the road to the marked crossroad.
At the crossroad, we continue sharply left in the direction of the footpath to Čreta (straight Čreta car access). We continue along the forest road, which brings us along the edge of the meadow to the next crossroad.
This time too, we continue left (right Čreta) and continue the ascent following the signs for sv. Janez in Pavel. The road, which continues across a gentle grassy slope, quickly brings 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 brings us to the already previously mentioned church of sv. Janeza in Pavla.
