Gradiško jezero - Gradiški grič (on footpath)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Maribor highway, we take the Lukovica exit, then continue driving towards Moravče. After passing Radomlje, we arrive at the beginning of the settlement Spodnje Prapreče, where at the crossroads we continue left in the direction of Gradiško Lake. After a short ascent, we arrive at a crossroads with the priority road, where we continue right towards Gradiško Lake (left Gradišče), then just a little further, from the priority road left towards Gradiško Lake (right Preserje pri Lukovici), in front of which we then park on a large parking lot.

Route description:
From the starting point, we continue to the left, initially still on the asphalted road, from which first sharply to the left branches off the road towards the settlement Gradišče pri Lukovici (turn-off is unmarked), only a few steps further to the right the road which leads on the top of the embankment. At the spot where the asphalt ends, we continue on the road which descends to the left side of the embankment and lower changes into a cart track. While walking on the meadow, the cart track also vanishes, and we follow occasional blazes. When the path approaches the forest, it splits, and we continue on the upper, left, marked path. Through the forest we ascend steeper for a short time, then we reach another cart track, which at the junctions we follow in the direction of the blazes. Higher follows a few-minute traverse, then we reach the road, where the marked path starts descending along the road, to the right the road leads to an abandoned house.
Here we continue straight, on a worse footpath, on which we ascend to the church wall, then along the wall we walk to the left, where we quickly reach the asphalt road and the church of St. Marjeta.
From the church we can also ascend to the peak a few minutes away, but take care not to walk on the fields, to the top it is most appropriate to ascend along the edge of the forest, so that we do not damage the meadows.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in 2016 (October).
