Path 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, also this time in the direction of ZOO park. A little further, from the crossroad at the hayrack we continue straight (left ZOO park Rožman), then after crossing Horjulka we continue on the upper right road. From the crossroad onwards, the road starts to ascend, higher up with nice views of the surrounding hills, on the left side we bypass a smaller hamlet. A little further from the hamlet the asphalt road turns right to the last homestead, but we continue straight onto the macadam road, which to the edge of the forest continues without major changes in elevation. At the edge of the forest the worse road turns right, we continue straight on the cart track; at the junction a few steps away we go left. There follows a short ascent through the forest, then across the meadow we reach another cart track, which we follow to the right into the forest. A little further we arrive at a junction of several cart tracks, and we continue straight. There follows a few minutes' ascent along the cart track, and when the forest ends, the cart track also ends. We continue across the meadow, where we follow a footpath that brings us to the summit of Gradišče amid ever more beautiful views.
