Krapina / Dolići - Brezovica

Access to starting point:
A) Over the border crossing Gruškovje / Macelj we drive into Croatia. We leave the highway at exit Đurmanec and we drive in the mentioned village. From the roundabout we continue in the direction of Krapina, and then we on the old road drive through the valley of Krapinica, on which we drive only one minute, because before the sharp right turn we park on an appropriate place by the road. (If the parking lot is full, we drive to the beginning of Krapina, where we turn left towards the railway station Krapina-Žutnica, where there is a large parking lot)
b) To Croatia we can get to also over the border crossing Dobovec / Lupinjak. From here, it is 10 minutes to Đurmanec, and from there we follow the upper description.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the asphalt road towards the south in the direction towards Krapina, but only to the right turn, where we will notice first blazes. The path leads into the forest and starts quite steeply ascending to a some sort of the ridge above the abandoned quarry. Here the steepness gradually decreases and the path brings us to a clearing, from which a nice view opens up to the south (view towards Krapina and Sleme). From the clearing, we continue right, and on a cart track we step into the forest, where the old path joins, and a little further we step on a cart track.
On the cart track, we continue towards the north, we walk there past two crossings all the way to steep eastern slopes. Here the path starts ascending steeply and in two hairpin turns brings us on a south slope, where it flattens (during the ascent for some time a view opens up towards the east). A gentle ascent follows and we get to the ridge, where the path turns towards the west. In few minutes we ascend to transport road which leads towards the TV transmitter. When we step on the road, to the top separates us only a minute of walking.
From the top of Brezovica towards the east we can see Varaždin and Čakovec, and towards the north Pohorje, but this view is already very hindered by the forest.
