Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Novo Mesto, we go to the exit Ivančna Gorica, and then we follow the road in the direction of Stična. In Stična, at the crossroad opposite the monastery we continue slightly right and then we drive in the direction of Pristava nad Stično. In the settlement Mekinje we will notice signs for mountain hut Lavričeva koča, which point us to the right on a little narrower road. The road at first ascends a little and then descends and it brings us to a smaller crossroad, where we continue right and then after few meters we park on a marked and nicely settled parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of the mountain hut Lavričeva koča. The road which immediately starts moderately ascending through a lane of a forest quickly brings us on the upper slope of Gradišče, from which a nice view opens up. Here the road turns to the left and after few 10 strides of additional walking brings us to the summit of Gradišče. And mountain hut Lavričeva koča is situated only few meters below the summit, in the middle of which stands the church of St. Miklavž.
