Črnotiče - Marija Snežna on Gradišca

Access to starting point:
Highway Ljubljana - Koper we leave at exit Kastelec, and then we follow the signs for Podgorje. From the road towards Podgorje we soon turn right in the direction of the settlement Črnotiče, at the church in Črnotiče we turn to the right road which behind the houses becomes a macadam. We drive a little further, and then we get to a smaller crossroad, where to the right continues the road to the railway station Črnotiče, and on the left we notice a football field. We park near the crossroad on an appropriate place.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the left road which leads us by the football field, and a little further we get to a crossroad, where we go right (left we return in the village). The path ahead leads us through the underpass under the railway track, and through meadows in few minutes we get to a marked crossroad, where we continue left on a cart track in the direction of Marija Snežna (straight Podpeč, or we can ascend to Marija Snežna on the path which leads from Črni Kal). Next follows a walk on a gentle, mostly grassy cart track, where at the next crossing we go slightly right, again in the direction of Marija Snežna. A little further, the cart track again splits, and the crossing isn't marked.
We continue on the poorly visible left cart track (if we continue straight, the cart track soon vanishes), which gradually starts moderately ascending. Higher, the path turns a little to the right, and mostly runs through the low forest. At the wooden cross, the path once again splits, and we bypass the cross on the left side. A little further, we join the marked path from Praproče and after a minute of additional walking, we get to the pilgrimage church of Marija Snežna on Gradišca.
