Repnje - Gradišče (Zapoški hrib)

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Ljubljana (Šmartno), then at the first crossroad we continue left over the highway towards Šmartno and Tacen. After the bridge, a road branches off to the right towards the nearby cemetery, the highway leads left towards Ljubljana, and on the main road we continue straight and drive about 100 meters, then at the next crossroad we continue right (straight to Tacen). Further on, we drive through Šmartno, then Ljubljana ends and we continue driving on the road which soon returns to the eastern side of the highway. The path ahead leads us through Povodje and later also through Skaručna. When the road after the settlement Skaručna passes into a strip of forest, first the road towards the village Polje branches off to the right, and a little further to the left also the road towards the settlement Repnje. We continue towards the settlement Repnje, on the road which leads us over the highway, and then quickly brings us to the settlement, where we notice signs for the church of St. Tilen. The beginning of the path is located near the monastery Repnje.
B) From the highway Jesenice - Ljubljana, we take the exit Vodice, then we continue driving towards Medvode and Smlednik. On the main road towards Medvode we drive only some 10 meters, then we turn left in the direction of the village Dobruša and Repnje. A somewhat narrower road quickly brings us to Dobruša and a little further also to Repnje, where at the first crossroad we continue slightly right towards the nearby monastery. The beginning of the path is located a little further from the monastery Repnje.
C) First, we drive to Medvode, and from there we continue driving towards Zbilje, Smlednik and Vodice. Before we arrive in Vodice or at the junction to the highway, we continue right in the direction of the village Dobruša and Repnje. A somewhat narrower road quickly brings us to Dobruša and a little further also to Repnje, where at the first crossroad we continue slightly right towards the nearby monastery. The beginning of the path is located a little further from the monastery Repnje.
D) From Kamnik or Mengeš we drive to Vodice, and from there at the traffic light, where a road towards the airport branches off to the right, we continue left. A little further at the crossroad behind a smaller strip of forest we turn right towards the settlement Repnje. The road then leads us through the underpass under the highway, and then at the crossroad we continue left towards the nearby monastery. The beginning of the path is located a little further from the monastery Repnje.

Path description:
In Repnje near the monastery we notice signs for the church of St. Tilen, which point us on a narrower asphalt road which at first leads past a few more houses, and then the asphalt ends and changes into a poor macadam road which leads through the forest. After a left turn the forest thins out, so that a nice view opens up towards the surrounding hills and villages. After approximately 10 minutes the path levels out completely and brings us to the church of St. Tilen, from which a nice view opens up towards Velika planina and part of Gorenjska.
From the church we continue on the marked path in the direction of Stari grad, which for a short time still continues on a cart track. When the cart track turns right, we continue straight on the marked path, which ascends diagonally on a moderately steep slope. About a minute ahead, on the part where the path flattens, we notice signs for Gradišče, which point us to the left on a poorly beaten and unmarked footpath which after a few dozen steps starts moderately descending towards a small saddle, where we already notice the peak Gradišče left above us, but the path does not lead directly to the summit, but semicircularly around the summit, so we reach the summit in a few minutes from the other side.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in the year 2014 (December).
