Path description:
From the hamlet of Krače, follow the steep macadam road towards Zasavska Svete gora. The road quickly leads us to a scenic grassy slope, where it first turns left and then right, gradually turning into a wide cart track. The ascent continues along the marked cart track, which climbs transversely through the forest. At a higher altitude, cart track makes a transitional lay-by, crosses a small stream which dries up on dry days, and then begins a slightly steeper climb towards a nearby tarmac road.
When you reach the road, follow it to the left, which initially leads you past the turn-off for the route to Zasavska Sveta gora. Next, climb cross-country to the left for a while, then the road makes a sharp right turn and leads to a marked crossroads.
Here, take a sharp left in the route Pleše (straight ahead on Zasavska Sveta gora) and continue following the road through the forest. A little higher up, the path from the top of Roviškovec joins us from the right.
From the road we are following, a macadam road soon branches off to the left, which we "overlook", and we walk on the asphalt for only a few more 10 steps, and then the signs for Zagorje direct us to the left to the initially narrower, but higher wider cart track. The way forward leads us past the meadow, to a wider macadam road, which in turn leads us on through a large meadow, from which we have a beautiful view of the Kamnik Savinja Alps. On the other side of the meadow, the road splits into two parts, and we turn right to follow the Pleše signs. The path continues to climb through the lane of a forest, then lays down and leads us to a larger and rather steep grassy slope of the nearby Pleše peak. Here you walk to the other side of the hill, and before the marked path towards Marela starts to descend, continue left along cart track. Continue briefly along cart track, and then on the left you will see a metal pole (a flagpole) and below it the NOB monument.
From the monument you can continue a little further north, first slightly downwards and then upwards to the northern part of the Pleše peak.
