Path description:
The path is for some time similar as an already described path Krače-Pleše, but with the difference, that the starting point is at location with an easier parking and the path over Vežnica runs elsewhere (path Krače-Pleše makes a turn).
At the parking lot (either at pizzeria or at the parking lot of factory ETI) we park and we continue by the main road in the direction of Mlinše approximately 200 meters, all the way to a crossroad, where signs for Šemnik point us to the left. We follow the asphalt road ahead in the direction of Šemnik. When the asphalt road ascends, on the top of the hill, we get to a crossroad, by which stands a wooden signpost for Sveta Gora. We turn right and we follow the road to some houses, where blazes point us to the left upwards on a macadam road. We follow this road to a clearing below Pleše and on this path we continue straight upwards along the clearing. The road is moderately ascending, and eventually flattens. Here we need to pay attention to a beaten path, which branches off from the road left upwards. At the turn-off otherwise stands a sign, which points us towards Vežnica. The forest path is moderately ascending by the slope and after few minutes comes out of the forest, where we step on a macadam road which leads along the fence towards the farm. Here are fenced deer and if we are quiet, we can also see them. We continue on the road upwards, past the farm until we notice a forest road which below the meadow on Vežnica turns sharply left. We step on this forest road and we follow it towards the summit of Vežnica. Here for the first time a view opens up on Kamnik Savinja Alps, Menina planina, Golte, in clear weather we can nicely see also Triglav. When we come to the top of Vežnica, we cross a macadam road and we turn on a forest path, which is ascending by the macadam road. Well visible blazes we follow ahead upwards, where already after few minutes we step on a plateau at top of Pleše.
On the way: Medijski grad (320m), Vežnica (750m)
