Mekinje nad Stično - Lavričeva koča on Gradišče

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Novo Mesto highway, we take the Ivančna Gorica exit, then follow the road in the direction of Stična. In Stična, at the intersection opposite the monastery, we continue slightly right and then drive in the direction of Pristava nad Stično. In the settlement Mekinje, we will notice signs for Lavričeva koča, which direct us to the right onto a somewhat narrower road. The road first ascends a little, then descends and brings us to a smaller intersection, where we continue right and then after a few meters park on the marked and nicely maintained parking lot.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of Lavričeva koča. The road, which immediately starts moderately ascending through a belt of forest, quickly brings us to the upper slope of Gradišče, from which a nice view opens up. Here the road turns to the left and after some ten steps of additional walking brings us to the summit of Gradišče. The mountain hut Lavričeva koča is situated only a few meters below the summit, in the middle of which stands the church of St. Miklavž.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Sveti Lambert, Pristava above Stična

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
