Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor, we go to the exit Lukovica, and then we continue driving towards Moravče. After the crossing of Radomlje, we get to the beginning of the settlement Spodnje Prapreče, where at the crossroad we continue left in the direction of Lake Gradišče. After a short ascent, we get to a crossroad with the priority road, where we continue right towards Lake Gradišče (left Gradišče), after that only a little further, from a priority road left towards Lake Gradišče (right Preserje pri Lukovici), in front of which we then park on a large parking lot.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a marked path in the direction of Limbarska gora, which continues by the northern shore of Lake Gradišče. The path which continues on the macadam road and which is closed for public traffic, soon turns right and passes on the eastern side of the lake, where the marked path towards Limbarska gora (also the path on Sveti Mohor through the settlement Vinje pri Moravčah) turns left in the forest, and we still continue on a walking path. Next follows a shorter ascent, and then also a descent, and after the descent, we again get very close to the lake. Further, we over the bridge cross Drtiljščica, and then a little ahead we get to a longer right turn, at the beginning of which an ascending macadam road branches off to the left, which leads towards the village Prikrnica (the turn-off isn't marked).
Here as well, we continue right, few steps ahead over another small bridge, and then we pass on the western side of the lake, where the path goes gradually away into a dense forest. When we step out of the forest, at the crossroad we continue right, and then we again get closer to the lake, by which we then for quite some time continue. In the last part, we go again a little away from the lake, and then we ascend to the parking lot, where we started.
The described path runs clockwise, but we can walk it also in the reverse direction.
