Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Horjul, then continue to Vrzdenec. The route starts at the turn-off for the road to Rožman Zoo Park, which is at the beginning of Vrzdenec, and we park at a suitable place nearby or further along the route.
b) From Gorenje vas or Žiri, drive towards Horjul, and when you reach Vrzdenec, pay attention, because the road to the right turns off for Rožman Zoo Park, which is located at the beginning of Vrzdenec, and we park in a suitable place nearby, or further along the described route.
Path description:
From the main road, continue in the direction of the Rožman Zoo Park. At first, walk parallel to the main road, and then, just before the nearby house, continue to the right, again in the direction of the ZOO park. A little further on, from the crossroads by the goat house, continue straight on (ZOO park Rožman on the left), and then after crossing Horjul, continue along the upper right-hand road. From the crossroads onwards, the road starts to climb, and higher up, with beautiful views of the surrounding hills, pass a small hamlet on the left. A little further on from the hamlet, the asphalt road turns right to the last farmhouse, and we continue straight ahead on the macadam road, which continues to the edge of the forest without any major changes in elevation. At the edge of the forest, the worse road turns right, and we continue straight on to cart track, and at a crossroads a few steps away we go left. There is a short climb through the woods, then across a hayfield to reach another cart track, which is followed right into the woods. A little further on, we reach a crossroads of several tracks, and we continue straight ahead. There are a few minutes of climbing on the cart track, and when the forest ends, so does the track. We continue across the meadow, where we follow a path that leads us to the top of Gradišče, with increasingly beautiful views.
