Vrzdenec - Gradišče above Žažar (via Žažar)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Horjul, then continue driving towards Vrzdenec. The described path starts at the turn-off to the road to Žažar, and we park at an appropriate place nearby, or higher up by the road in Žažar.
B) From Gorenje vas or Žiri we drive towards Horjul, and when we get to Vrzdenec we need to pay attention, because at the turn-off of the road to the right to Žažar the described path begins. We park at an appropriate place nearby, or higher up by the road in Žažar.

Route description:
From the main road, we continue in the direction of the settlement Žažar. After crossing the stream Šujica the road splits into two parts, where we continue on the upper road. Immediately after the crossroad the settlement Vrzdenec ends, and the road starts to ascend more steeply. Higher a road to the homestead Činžar branches off to the right, and we continue straight, past a smaller abandoned quarry we arrive in Žažar, where at the crossroads we continue left. After the crossroad where the road to the shelter Zavetišče Horjul branches off to the right, we continue slightly left again, then we walk past the church of St. Anne. The dense part of the settlement ends quickly, and the road leads us along the edge of panoramic meadows. A little further we arrive at a smaller hamlet, where we continue slightly left, and we bypass all houses on the right side. Behind the last house the road changes into a cart track, on which we ascend somewhat more steeply. After a few tens of steps the cart track levels out and turns left, crossing a panoramic hay meadow, and then starts to turn semicircularly to the right. After crossing a strip of forest we arrive below the summit, where we see a larger cross, to which only a few tens of steps of panoramic walking remain.
The description and pictures refer to the condition in 2016 (December).
