Path description:
From the village Mlinše, follow the asphalt road in the direction of Zasavska Svete gora. The road initially leads past a few houses, then climbs to the neighbouring village of Zabava, where you continue right at the crossroads by the chapel. Continue through the village, and at the end of the village the road turns into cart track, which leads you across the plains. Higher up, you reach the next village or hamlet of Breznik.
Here you first cross a nearby road, then climb through a few yards to a less well-trodden track which climbs across a meadow to a nearby slope, over which it begins to climb cross-country. Slightly higher up, the track leads to cart track, which is followed to the right and quickly leads to the village of Ravne pri Mlinšah. Once you have passed through the village and the road turns slightly to the right, the marked path from Izlak joins us on the left.
Here we continue straight to the nearby crossroads at the chapel, where we also see some mountain direction signs.
Continue straight across the road to the marked footpath in the direction of the Zasavje Svatá gora. Continue along the cart track, which quickly turns into the forest and turns right. Continue along the old cart track, which is followed at the crossroads in the direction indicated by the signs. Higher up, the cart track splits into two parts, and we choose the left one (right Zasavska Sveta gora 5 minutes). After a short crossing to the left, we come out on an asphalt road, which we walk along in a few steps to the mountain lodge.
From the mountain lodge, continue along the road for a few minutes to a small crossroads, where you turn left in the direction of Vidrga and Roviška vrh. After a further walk of 10 m, a marked footpath to Roviškovec branches off to the right, and we continue along the road, which descends gently to moderately. After a few minutes of descending, we arrive at a small crossroads where we continue right up towards Pleše. Continue climbing moderately for some time on the asphalt road, and join the path from the top of Roviškovec on the right. From the road on which we continue our journey, 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 Kamniško Savinjske 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 slightly further north, first slightly downhill and then uphill to the northern part of the Pleše peak.
