Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Divača, and then we continue driving towards Divača. Right before Divača we turn left towards the village Lokev, and in Lokev sharply left in the direction of Prelože. Further, we drive a little less than 200 meters to the next crossroad, from where we continue right in the direction of village Prelože and the peak Veliko Gradišče and Kokoš. When the village Lokev ends the road starts ascending and it quickly brings us to the village Prelože pri Lokvi, where we start our path. In the mentioned village there aren't any appropriate parking spots, and also lower by the road there aren't many options for parking.
Path description:
From the starting point, we at first walk to the village Prelože pri Lokvi, and from there we continue on a marked path, at first road. Above the village the asphalt ends, ahead macadam road quickly changes into a rough cart track. Higher the cart track which is moderately ascending through the forest, ascends a little steeper and it brings us to a crossing at the source of Vroček.
From the source we go right (left Veliko Gradišče) and we continue on a cart track which is for some time gently ascending, and then it flattens and turns to the left. When the cart track starts lightly descending, it turns to the right and gradually brings us into thinner forest. Next follows few minutes of descent, and we soon need to pay attention to red arrow on the rock on the right side. At this rock we turn right on pathless terrain and we are looking for the best passages all the way to a smaller meadow below the summit. We continue through the meadow to the vegetated peak. There's approximately 10 minutes of pathless terrain.
On the way: Vroček (645m)
