Access to starting point:
a) We drive to Šentjur, then follow the signs for Podsreda and Planina pri Sevnici. At the end of Šentjur we turn left towards Podsreda, from where we drive along a rather winding road to the village of Lesično, where the described path begins at the roundabout. We park in one of the parking lots in the center of the village.
b) From the Brežice–Podčetrtek road at the edge of the village of Bistrica ob Sotli we turn left (right from the direction of Podčetrtek) towards Podsreda. We bypass the center of Podsreda on the right side, then drive to the village of Lesično, where the described path begins at the roundabout. We park in one of the parking lots in the center of the village.
c) From the direction of Sevnica and Krško we drive to Brestanica, then follow the signs for Podsreda. This is followed by some ascent and then a descent into Podsreda, where at the end of the village we turn left towards Šentjur and Kozje. We drive to the village of Lesično, where the described path begins at the roundabout. We park in one of the parking lots in the center of the village.
Route description:
From the place where we parked, we first return to the roundabout, then follow the road towards Kozje. Near the bus station we reach a marked junction, where the mountain signs for Pilštanj direct us left, but we continue straight along the main road towards Kozje. A little further on, when we notice a roadside rest area on the right side of the road, the signs for the Water Educational Trail Lesično–Pilštanj direct us left onto a path that begins to ascend through the forest. In two switchbacks we then ascend to a level area, where we join the previously mentioned marked path.
Here we continue right, then the road through the central part of the village of Pilštanj leads us past the famous Pilštanj pranger (pillory) to the church of St. Michael.
