Braslovško jezero - Grmada (Dobrovlje)

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Maribor motorway, take the Šentrupert exit and then continue in the direction of Mozirje and Logarska dolina. Leave the main road at Parižlje and turn left towards Braslovce. When you arrive in Braslovče, in the centre of the town near the church, turn slightly left at the crossroads in the direction of Braslov Lake. Continue along a slightly narrower road, which will quickly take you to the parking lot at the aforementioned lake.

Path description:
From the parking lot, first walk to the nearby Jezero Inn, then continue along the marked trail, which bypasses Braslov Lake on the right. On the other side of the lake, continue across the meadow for a short distance and then you will come to a road which you follow to the left. Soon you will approach a dwelling house, turn left in front of it, and then immediately after crossing a small stream, continue right on cart track. Cart track first continues through the woods and then leads to meadows, where it begins to disappear. At the end of the meadow, first continue a few steps to the left, then notice cart track, which turns sharply to the right. We follow the aforementioned cart track, which climbs quickly to a nearby dirt road, and we follow it to the right. The path ahead descends slightly and joins another road. Continue in the same direction and climb gently to a nearby farm. On the other side of the farm, the path first ascends slightly and then turns right onto cart track, which continues up the slopes to the right. After a few minutes of crossing, you reach an asphalt road, which you soon leave, as signs direct you to a footpath that climbs through the forest. Cross the road once more at a higher altitude, and then, once you are on the road again, walk along it to where the path from Letuš joins it. Leave the road here and continue the climb on a ladder, which helps with the steep ascent, and then continue the climb through the forest. The way forward leads us past a bench, after which we are soon back on the road. Follow the road to the left, and we walk along it for a few metres, then continue right on the footpath, which soon crosses the road again. The way forward takes us through a short, partly overgrown clearing, which opens up a view of Bezovec. Continue along the road for a few minutes, then follow the marked shortcut up to Covnik's Cross.
Here continue right (straight ahead Bezovec for 15 minutes) and again right at a small crossroads. Continue along the scenic asphalt road, which will take you downhill for a few minutes to reach the Dobrovlje Home. Leave the asphalt road at the house and continue along the macadam road in the direction of Črete. The road quickly leads to a small hamlet, where you continue to the right, and then, after the houses, follow cart track in the direction of Čreta. The well-marked cart track starts descending over an initially still scenic slope and then passes into the lane of the forest, where it also crosses a macadam road. There is a slight climb to the nearby Kokovnik farm, and then a walk to the nearby chapel. At the chapel, the path goes into the woods and then, after a short descent, joins the tarmac road. The road climbs moderately for a while and then joins the road from Nazarje and Mozirje. Continue straight ahead and follow the road up to a marked crossroads.
At the crossroads, take a sharp left in the direction of the footpath to Čreta (straight ahead Čreta access by car). Continue along the forest road, which takes you along the edge of the meadow to the next crossroads.
Again, turn left (right Čreta) and continue the ascent following the St. John and St. Paul markers. The road, which continues over a steep grassy slope, quickly leads to the Planinšek farm, after which it transitions into a very narrow lane of a forest. The forest ends immediately, and the path leads us quickly past the chapel to the aforementioned church of St John and St Paul.
At the church, turn right in the direction of Grmada and continue along the folded cart track, which turns into a forest. Cart track soon climbs more moderately and in a few minutes leads to the top of Grmada.
