Planina pri Sevnici - Lisca

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Sevnica (to here from Radeče, Mokronog or Krško), and then we head onto the road in the direction of Planina pri Sevnici. When we get to the Petrol petrol station, which is located right next to Planina pri Sevnici, we turn right in the direction of the company Montpreis and immediately after the intersection we park on a larger asphalt parking lot by the cemetery.
B) We drive to Šentjur (to here from Celje, Styrian motorway exit Dramlje or Šmarje pri Jelšah), and then we follow the signs for Kozje and Planina pri Sevnici. At the end of Šentjur we go right in the direction of Planina pri Sevnici (slightly left Kozje and Podsreda). Further on, we mostly ascend, when the road flattens and on the right side we notice the Petrol petrol station, which is located right next to Planina pri Sevnici, and we go left in the direction of the company Montpreis and then immediately after the intersection we park on the parking lot by the cemetery.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we return to the main road, carefully cross it, and from the nearby intersection head towards the center of the settlement Planina pri Sevnici. At first, we slightly descend, then past a larger NOB monument in a gentle ascent arrive at a marked intersection below the parish church of St. Marjeta.
Here we turn left towards Lisca, Ješivec, and Rudenik (slightly to the right are the ruins of the castle Planina) and continue on a scenic asphalt road that gently ascends and descends a few times, following the blazes or signs for Lisca at intersections.
In the settlement Prapretno, before the bus stop shelter, we turn right towards a hamlet of a few houses, where we then go left towards Rudenik and Lisca. Next follows a short descent, and after the last house, the road loses its asphalt surface but continues to slightly descend. When the descent ends, the road enters the forest and begins to ascend, and we continue to follow the blazes. The path leads us past a gate, after which it turns left and ascends to a small saddle south of the hill Gradec, where a wooden cross is also located. Here we turn left and then ascend diagonally for some time; the poorer road splits on the eastern slopes of Rudenik.
Here we turn sharply right (straight ahead are the ruins of the former Marijina vas Rudenik) and continue ascending diagonally to the right; on the northern slopes of Rudenik, a nice view temporarily opens towards Štajerska. The path quickly returns to the forest, and a little further joins a wider macadam road, which we follow left upwards. We continue ascending through the forest, now on the western side of Rudenik, where the road splits. We choose the poorer, slightly right road, along which the blazes continue, and from it we go at a less noticeable junction, which is located before the branch-off of a distinct logging trail left onto a path, by which in a few steps we ascend to the logbook box for Rudenik (control point no. 11 of the Sevnica mountain trail).
We continue right towards Lisca and cross the slopes of Ostrež, later briefly reach a macadam road, which we follow to the left, from it at the right bend we go somewhat further straight onto a footpath that continues along the slopes of Ivc. Here, after a short crossing, the path turns slightly left and begins to descend more steeply. Here a short path branches off to the right to the grave of fallen fighters (2 minutes), but we continue straight and arrive at a marked junction on the saddle of Ivce.
We continue straight (to the left downwards Koča na Bohorju and Darinkino zavetišče) and walk through a scenic meadow to a pleasant resting place on Vedonovem hribu.
From here follows a descent along a cart track, where we follow the blazes at several junctions; lower down, we step onto a macadam road for a few steps, from which we immediately go slightly left towards the marked path. Next follows a somewhat longer ascent along the eastern ridge of Ješivec, which ends at the logbook box for Ješivec, with the highest point of the peak located slightly to the right of the path.
From Ješivec, we continue in the direction of Lisca and begin to descend steeply down a grassy slope. Lower down, the path leads us to a cart track, and we follow the marked path to a marked junction on the saddle between Ješivec and Lisca, where a marked path from Jurklošter joins from the right.
We continue straight towards Lisca and begin to ascend. A little further, we cross an asphalt road leading towards Lisca, and after a short ascent, the path levels out and temporarily returns to the road. We continue on the marked path, which runs slightly to the right of the road, then gently ascend through a meadow. The marked path then re-enters the forest and continues along the right side of Mala Lisca. A few minutes later, we temporarily leave the forest and then briefly come very close to the road. When we return to the road a little further on, we continue along it past a motorhome stop, and on the other side of the stop, the path splits. The right path leads directly to the summit of Lisca, but we continue straight and ascend to the summit of Lisca past Tončkov dom and Jurčkova koča.
