continue right (1st exit) in the direction Šoštanj - Mozirje.
At the traffic lights, turn left and then immediately right into the parking lot (parking is free).
Path description:
Go west to the end of the parking lot, where you will see the start of a steep path into the forest on your left.
The steepness quickly eases at the start and you walk along a well-worn forest path along the slope of Gradišče.
The path is well marked. The trail splits at some parts and joins up again higher up.
When we come out of the forest, we see the Church of St James. Follow the asphalted road to the church, where you continue left along a wide forest path.
At the forks, always follow the path upwards. From the church to the top is about 400 m.
