At the end of the settlement Izlake, we turn right towards Moravče, and we follow the road towards Moravče only a short time because we quickly turn left into the village Medija. In Medija we continue left towards Šemnik, and then right in the direction of Zasavska Sveta gora. The road then starts considerably ascending and it quickly brings us to a hamlet Krače, which is the starting point of our tour. At the starting point, there aren't any appropriate parking spots.

Path description:
From hamlet Krače we go on a steep macadam road in the direction of Zasavska Sveta gora. The road quickly brings us on a panoramic grassy slope, where it at first turns left and then also right and then gradually changes into a wide cart track. We continue the ascent on a marked cart track which is diagonally ascending through the forest. Higher, the cart track for some time flattens, crosses a smaller stream, which in dry days dries up, and then it starts ascending a little steeper towards the nearby asphalt road.
When we reach the mentioned road, we follow it to the left, and at first, it leads past the turn-off of the path on Zasavska Sveta gora. Further, we are for some time ascending diagonally towards the left and then the road makes a sharp right turn and it brings us to the marked crossroad.
Here we continue sharply left in the direction of Pleše (straight on the road - Zasavska Sveta gora) and we still follow the road through the forest. A little higher from the right joins also the path from the peak of Roviškovec.
From the road, on which we continue, soon a macadam road branches off to the left, which we "ignore", and on the asphalt we walk only few 10 strides, and then signs for Zagorje, point us to the left on at first a narrower, and higher a wider cart track. The path ahead leads us past a meadow to a wider macadam road, and further it leads through an extensive meadow, from which a nice view opens up on Kamnik Savinja Alps. On the other side of the meadow, the road splits into two parts, and we go right following the signs Pleše. The path ahead ascends through a lane of a forest and then it flattens and it brings us on a larger and quite gentle grassy slope of the nearby peak Pleše. Here we walk to the other side of the hill, and then before the marked path towards Marela starts descending, we continue left on a cart track. We short time continue on a cart track, and then on the left side we notice a metal pole (a pole intended for hoisting a flag) and below it NOB monument.
From the monument we can continue also a little more towards the north, at first slightly downwards and then also upwards to the northern part of the peak Pleše.
