Access to starting point:
From Horjul or Dobrove we drive to Polhov Gradec, and then we continue driving towards Gorenja vas. Just a little after Polhov Gradec, at the end of the village Briše, we will notice by the road the church of the Holy Three Kings and only a few meters before it signs for terme Briše, which direct us to the left on a macadam road, which we then follow approximately 100 m to the parking lot in front of the natural swimming pool terme Briše.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we return to the main road, and from there we continue right towards Polhov Gradec. After a few minutes of walking by the main road, we get to the bus station in Briše, where signs for Praproče and Polhograjska Gora point us to the left on an ascending asphalt road. For some time we continue on a narrow and ascending road, and then we get to a smaller hamlet, where from the right joins the path from Polhov Gradec.
Only a few meters after the junction, which many people miss, the asphalt road turns to the left and crosses a smaller ditch. On this spot, signs for Sveti Lovrenc point us to the right on a cart track which starts ascending by the torrent gully. After a short ascent, at the smaller junction, we continue left and we start ascending steeper on an occasionally somewhat more muddy cart track. Higher, the cart track makes a few hairpin turns, and then it joins the forest road from Praproče. When we reach the mentioned road we continue right and walk along it to the nearby crossroad, where from the left also joins the second road from Praproče.
Here we continue past the bench, behind which we quickly arrive at the ramp.
Just before the ramp, we continue left in the direction of the demanding path (straight Sveti Lovrenc easier approach) and continue the ascent on an increasingly steep path. The path, which mostly runs through a pine forest, higher ascends even steeper and crosses a short exposed slope (mainly when wet great risk of slipping). Higher, the path slightly flattens and passes onto the ridge of Polhograjska Gora. Ahead the path brings us out of the forest and after a shorter further ascent leads us to the wall of the church of St. Lovrenc. Here with the help of a few footholds and holds we climb over the mentioned wall and step onto the panoramic peak.

Discussion about the trip Briše - Polhograjska Gora (Sveti Lovrenc) (steep path)

I walked this path today in one hour. At 'terme' Briše I was the only one parked, others parked by the road in the village... not much space in the village so I recommend parking at the terme (5 min walk to the village).
The path is nice and more for retirees - but it's a quick and less crowded option for a jump from the capital to fresh air and sun. ;-)

The path is really suitable for an afternoon quick trip from the hot city  . But watch out, at the top we were warned that under the last rock with the flag, right as you reach the summit, there are adders. We didn't see them, but a couple ahead of us did.

If you're already going to this area in these hot days, definitely take swimsuits with you

water has pleasant xy degrees, and the sun shines in that sunny corner almost until 8 pm 
In the afternoon/evening hours, the wooden hut also operates with its "basic hospitality offer"

In the last rock there is a crevice where snakes hide, yes. Thanks to the local who showed them to me. We saw three of them inside.
