We drive into Laško, where we park in the parking lot by the Laško cemetery.
Path description:
From the parking lot by the cemetery we continue on the road which is situated between the flower shop and the railway, and a little further we also pass by the technical inspections and the Laško municipal services. At the parking lot of JP Komunala Laško we turn left and then ascend diagonally through the forest on a side road. Before the nearby house we turn left onto a footpath which quickly leads us back into the forest. Through the forest the path leads us past the Perdihova beech tree, which is around 200 years old, and then we diagonally ascend out of the forest, where we reach a cart track. With beautiful views, we then reach a crossing in a few dozen steps, where we turn left (sharply right to Šmihel), and then in a moderate ascent we quickly arrive at the church of St. Krištof.
From the church, we return to the last crossing on a smaller saddle by the chapel, and then we choose the path that ascends towards the north and in a few minutes brings us to the transmitters, from where a beautiful view opens up on the surroundings. From the transmitters, we continue the ascent on a grassy cart track, and then past the houses, we reach an asphalt road, along which we continue. The road leads us a little further through a strip of forest, and when we leave the forest, in a few minutes we join the marked path.
Here we go left (right Laško), and just a little further, we arrive at two successive crossroads.
From the first crossroad, where a road branches off to the right towards some houses, we continue straight, and at the second, we turn right towards Šmihel (straight for Govško brdo).
From the crossroad, we start ascending again, then pass a parking lot, a chapel, and some houses to reach the church of St. Mihael, located on a scenic hill.
