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.

Route 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 right path, marked with signs for Lisca via Cirje, Lisca via a very demanding path, and Lisca via path Pastirčkova pot (straight across the road to Lisca past the church of St. Jošt).
Next follows some walking on the asphalt road, where we first ascend diagonally to the right, then navigate two hairpin turns, followed by another diagonal ascent to the right. At the next diagonal ascent to the right, at the end of the grassy section, we veer slightly left onto a cart track that ascends alongside a strip of bushes; by a house, which we bypass on the right, we reach another road, along which we continue diagonally to the right, arriving at a small hamlet where we return to the road we left a few minutes earlier.
Here we turn sharply left, and with beautiful views reaching as far as Gorjanci, and in good visibility even further, we arrive at the last organized parking lot along the described path (starting point Cerje, or Cirje at 640 meters above sea level).
Here we go right, from the asphalt road a steep path soon branches off to the left over Skalce, but we go from the road left about a minute ahead, at the spot where the asphalt ends.
We continue in the direction of a very difficult path and the easy path Pastirčkova pot. The path ahead first ascends gently, then moderately through the forest. When we start ascending diagonally to the left, we quickly reach a marked crossing, where a very demanding path to Lisca branches off sharply to the right, but we continue straight, maintaining the diagonal ascent. In the final part of the crossing, the path over Skalce joins from the left, but we continue straight and in a few steps reach the viewpoint with a bench.
Here the path turns slightly to the right and continues through the forest, and a few minutes higher we join a somewhat wider path that leads past the church of St. Jošt and the path with a starting point in the settlement of Breg.
Here we go right, and a little further we leave the forest and walk along the lower edge of a larger meadow to Tončkov dom on Lisca, then past Jurčkova koča on Lisca quickly ascend to the panoramic peak of Lisca.
