Migojnice - Gradišče (at Griže) (circular path)

Access to starting point:
From highway A1 we go to the exit Žalec. We do the same, when we reach the roundabout. We drive past the industrial area Arnovski gozd. When we come near Žalec, at the crossroad we turn left and then at the roundabout, we choose the first exit. We are already in Žalec. In front of Spar and Mercator store we turn left (a sign Griže) on a road overpass above the railway track. We drive straight to the next crossroad at the tyre repair shop (vulkanizerstvo). Again we turn left (a sign Griže). When we leave Žalec, we drive straight through a bridge over Savinja. We soon come to Migojnice. At the first crossroad, we turn left. We drive through the settlement to a bus stop. We park below hill Gradišče on an appropriate place. The hill and the church are easy to find, because they are visible the whole way from Žalec.

Path description:
From the parking place by the cross, we continue on foot on the right road. When we come to a crossroad, we go again right (bottom road). Past the houses we are slightly ascending to the next crossroad. Here we turn left. After the last gentle ascent, we get to the parking lot below the church and to the last residential houses. We turn left and after few meters we reach the peak of Gradišče on which there is church of Our Lady of Lourdes.
Locals call the hill Savinjski Lurd.
Besides the church there is also a church house and a well where we can quench the thirst. Everywhere around the hill, we are accompanied by a nice view towards the vineyard and surrounding hills. In very nice weather, there are visible peaks of Kamnik - Savinja Alps.
We can return on the same path or we choose the circular path. If we choose the latter, then at the parking lot, we turn left on a macadam forest road. After few hundred metrers it brings us past the vineyard cottage. And a little ahead it brings us to the company Daca. From here we go on the road straight down to a crossroad, where we turn left. After few hundred metrers we get to the last crossroad, where we join the road, on which we went up. We turn to the right, we make few more strides and soon after the turn we notice our starting point. A little more and we are again back at the car.
