Path description:
We go to the end of the parking lot in the direction of west, where on the left side we notice the beginning of a steep path into the forest.
The steepness at the beginning quickly decreases and we walk on a well-beaten forest path by the slope of Gradišče.
The path is well marked. On some parts, the path splits and higher joins again.
When we come out of the forest, we notice the church of St. Jakob.
Still before the chapel and the asphalt road we continue on a footpath left, back into the forest.
A well-beaten path we follow on the ridge all the way to the top of Malo Gradišče.
