Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Šentjur (to here from Celje, Štajerska highway exit Dramlje or Šmarje pri Jelšah), and then we follow the signs for Kozje and Planina pri Sevnici. At the end of Šentjur we continue straight towards Kozje (right - Planina pri Sevnici), and then we drive through Lesično, Kozje to Podsreda, where we park on a parking lot by the fire station and Dom krajanov.
B) We drive to Brestanica (to here from Sevnica or Krško), and then we follow the signs for Senovo and forward Podsreda. In Podsreda we go left towards Kozje (right - Bistrica ob Sotli), and when we get to the fire station and Dom krajanov we park on a parking lot by the building.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk on the south side of the building, and behind it we continue left on a narrower asphalt road which starts ascending. The path at first leads past the chapel of St. Florijan, and after the next chapel the path splits.
We continue on the road (left - path by Stations of the Cross), which continues through the forest, and after an older house, from the slope we gradually pass into a smaller valley. A narrower road a little higher splits, and we continue left towards Zgornje Gradišče (right - Spodnje Gradišče). When we get to the hamlet, we follow left directions. Next follows some more of a diagonal ascent, and when we join the path by Stations of the Cross, we go right and we walk to the church of Mary and the seven sorrows, above which there is also the chapel of St. Ana.
