Krakovo (Mastnak wine cellar) - Lisca (past Sveti Jošt)

Access to starting point:
a) We drive to Sevnica, and then from the roundabout at the Lidl store, we take the exit towards Planina pri Sevnici, and in the next roundabout, we also follow the signs for Planina pri Sevnici. We continue driving through Sevnica for some time, and then the road leads us into the valley of the stream Sevnična. When the valley widens slightly, in the settlement Orešje nad Sevnico, we turn left from the main road in the direction of Lisca and Krakovo. Here, by the Mastnak wine cellar, the described path begins. By the parking lot on the left side of the road, which is located next to the mountain signposts for Lisca, there is now a sign indicating that it is a private parking lot.
b) We drive to Šentjur, and then we follow the signs for Planina pri Sevnici; from Planina pri Sevnici, we start descending towards Sevnica. Before reaching Sevnica, in the settlement Orešje nad Sevnico, we turn right in the direction of Lisca and Krakovo. Here, by the Mastnak wine cellar, the described path begins. By the parking lot on the left side of the road, which is located next to the mountain signposts for Lisca, there is now a sign indicating that it is a private parking lot.

Path description:
From wine cellar Mastnak we continue on the asphalt road which ascends and passes into the forest. We initially walk by the stream Vočivski graben, then signs for Lisca direct us right onto a footpath which ascends through the forest, and after a few minutes returns to an asphalt road. We continue on the asphalt road, from which a beautiful view opens up on Lisca, and behind the chapel, blazes lead us right into the forest, where we follow the blazes. When we leave the forest, we again reach an asphalt road, which we reach at a marked crossing, where we join the path from Sevnica, namely the path that leads over Zajčja Gora.
We continue right in the direction of Lisca, and a little further from the crossroad at the chapel, we continue straight. A little after the chapel, we veer slightly right onto an access road, along which we ascend to a nearby house, bypassing the house on the left side. We continue briefly through the forest, then reach another road, along which we pass two more houses and walk to a crossroad, which we reach by an organized parking lot and a marked crossing.
Here we choose the path towards Lisca past the church of St. Jošt (right on the road, the climbing path to Lisca, path Pastirčkova pot, and the path over Skalce) and we continue the ascent on a cart track that continues through the forest. Higher, we leave the forest and diagonally ascend through a panoramic meadow; the diagonal ascent ends when we reach the settlement Polje. Here, at several successive crossings, we follow the signs for Lisca and the blazes; above the settlement, the path passes into the forest and continues on a steep mountain path.
A little further, the path with the starting point at Cerje joins from the right, but we continue straight, steeply ascending all the way to the church of St. Jošt, where we also join paths with starting points in Breg and in the valley Gračnica.
We continue left of the church toward Lisca, initially ascending diagonally through the forest to the left, then the path turns right and ascends diagonally to the right. A little further, additional paths from Sevnica join from the right. We continue straight, and slightly higher, we leave the forest and walk along the lower edge of a larger meadow to Tončkov dom on Lisca, then quickly ascend past Jurčkova koča on Lisca to the scenic peak of Lisca.
The starting point - Sveti Jošt 1:30, Sveti Jošt - Lisca 0:25.
