Sevnica - Sveti Jošt (below Lisca) (via Zajčja Gora)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Sevnica, where we park in one of the parking lots in town. Best in the organized parking lot by the roundabout of Šmarska cesta, Planinska cesta, and Kvedrova cesta.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we first carefully cross the road, then bypass Pizzerija Rondo on the right side. Here at the groove, we already notice the first signs for Lisca, and we continue walking on the sidewalk along road Planinska cesta. The sidewalk on the left side of the road ends quickly, and we go a few dozen meters ahead left onto the path, marked with signs for Lisca via Zajčja Gora. Here, we continue between two houses, then ascend along a narrower footpath to the road Pot na Zajčjo Goro. Next, we encounter a few smaller crossroads, following the sparse blazes in this section, and at the crossroads, we keep fairly straight. In the upper part of the town, we walk along street Bohorska ulica, then go right along the forest edge onto street Krulejeva ulica, marked with signs for Zajčja Gora and Ledina.
Just a few steps further, we leave the road to the left onto a footpath that ascends through the forest, and a few minutes higher, we return to the asphalt road. Next, we walk along the asphalt road, which leads past a few houses, following the fairly scenic road at several crossroads in the direction of the blazes.
Before the road returns to the forest, a nice view opens up towards Lisca; through the forest, we descend slightly for a while, and from the crossroad by the recycling spot, we go slightly right towards Ledina (left Zajčja Gora).
Further, the mountain path runs slightly to the left of the road or briefly returns to it. We return to the road before a smaller saddle, where a red mountain signpost directs us to the left.
The path ahead leads us along the asphalt road towards a newer house; we don’t continue on the access road to the house but go right behind the hedge onto a footpath that brings us near the house on its lower side, bypassing the house on the left and passing into a strip of bushes. Next follows a few minutes of ascent; near the next homestead, we reach another road, descend slightly, and lower down return to the road we left earlier at the red mountain signpost.
Further, we ascend gently to moderately, with the path leading past individual houses.
From the crossroad by the chapel, we continue straight, and a little higher, a nice view opens up towards Kum. At the end of the settlement Ledina, the road returns to the forest and starts descending; the mountain path veers slightly to the left from the road but continues in its vicinity. Lower down, we return to the road, following the blazes at several successive crossroads.
After the crossroad where we join a slightly wider road starting at the Mastnak wine cellar, we start ascending again, and a few minutes later, we merge with the mountain path from the Krakovo starting point, or the Mastnak wine cellar.
We continue straight towards Lisca, and a little further from the crossroad by the chapel, we also continue straight. Behind the chapel, we go slightly right onto the access road, ascending to the nearby house, which we bypass on the left side. We continue briefly through the forest, then reach another road, along which we pass two more houses and walk to a crossroad, which we reach by an organized parking lot and a marked crossing.
Here we choose the path towards Lisca past the church of St. Jošt (right on the road, the climbing path to Lisca, path Pastirčkova pot, and the path over Skalce) and we continue the ascent on a cart track that continues through the forest. Higher, we leave the forest and diagonally ascend through a panoramic meadow; the diagonal ascent ends when we reach the settlement Polje. Here, at several successive crossings, we follow the signs for Lisca and the blazes; above the settlement, the path passes into the forest and continues on a steep mountain path.
A little further, the path with the starting point at Cerje joins from the right, but we continue straight, steeply ascending all the way to the church of St. Jošt, where we also join paths with starting points in Breg and in the valley Gračnica.
