Path description:
From the starting point at the inn Legastja first we carefully cross the road, then we head onto the footpath in the direction of St. Jakob. The path first ascends on a grassy cart track that leads us among hayracks and pastures, then it flattens and brings us to a smaller hamlet, where we step onto an asphalt road. We continue the path among some houses, after which the asphalt road turns into a cart track, on which we ascend to the nearby hayracks. At the hayracks the blazes direct us slightly left, onto the path that then ascends across the meadow. Easy to follow, but in the time of high grass somewhat overgrown path, brings us after a few minutes to another asphalt road, which we reach at a smaller crossroad, beside which there is a cross. We continue on the left side of the cross, on the ascending road, on which we quickly arrive at a hamlet of a few houses and a marked junction there.
From the junction we continue straight and continue the path for a few more minutes on the road (left 10 minutes shorter path). When in the forest the road makes a right bend, we leave it and continue straight on a somewhat steeper marked path, which ascends through the forest and a little higher leads past the water tank. From here follows a few minutes of ascent through the forest, then we arrive at the edge of a meadow, where the path turns right. We leave the cart track on which we continue the path in a gentle left bend, as the blazes direct us right onto a trail that crosses the slopes to the right. After a shorter crossing we step onto a macadam road and follow it to the right. The mentioned macadam road quickly brings us to a junction, from which we continue on the upper left road in the direction of St. Jakob and Brezovica. From the asphalt road soon a view opens towards St. Jakob, which we already see left behind us, and we walk on the road to the settlement Brezovica, where the signs for St. Jakob direct us left. When the settlement ends we join the marked path (cart track from Katarina).
The path continues on a wide cart track, from which a nice view opens on our goal and in fine weather also on the Kamnik and Savinja Alps and Posavsko hribovje. On the other side of the scenic meadow the path approaches the forest, where the path from Sora and Preska joins us. Here too we continue left, and on the cart track we walk only some 10 steps more, as then the blazes lead us right onto a relatively steep path that continues along the edge of the forest (even if we continue on the cart track we will reach the top). During the ascent a nice view opens towards Polhograjska Grmada, and from the top, which we reach after a few minutes, also towards the other peaks of Polhograjsko hribovje.
