Access to starting point:
a) We drive to Horjul and then continue driving towards Vrzdenec. The described path starts at the road junction towards ZOO park Rožman, which is located at the beginning of the settlement Vrzdenec, and we park at a suitable place nearby or further along the described path.
b) From Gorenja vas or Žiri we drive towards Horjul, and when we reach Vrzdenec we pay attention, as at the road junction to the right for ZOO park Rožman, which is located at the beginning of the settlement Vrzdenec, we park at a suitable place nearby or further along the described path.
Route description:
From the main road we continue in the direction of ZOO park Rožman. At first we walk parallel to the main road, then a little before the nearby house we continue right, again in the direction of the ZOO park. A little further, from the junction by the hayrack we continue straight (left ZOO park Rožman), then after crossing Horjulka we continue on the upper right road. From the junction onwards the road starts to ascend, higher up with beautiful views of the surrounding hills, on the left side we bypass a small hamlet. Somewhat further from the hamlet the asphalt road turns right towards the last homestead, but here we continue straight onto the gravel road, which continues without major changes in elevation to the edge of the forest. At the edge of the forest the poorer road turns right, but we continue straight onto the cart track, and at a junction a few steps away we go left. A short ascent through the forest follows, then across a meadow we reach another cart track, which we follow right into the forest. A little further we reach a junction of several cart tracks, and we continue straight. A few more minutes of ascent on the cart track follow, but when the forest ends, the cart track also ends. We continue across the meadow, where we follow a path that leads us, with increasingly beautiful views, to the top of Gradišče.
The description and pictures refer to the situation in 2016 (December).
