Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Novo Mesto, we go to the exit Ivančna Gorica, and then we follow the road in the direction of Šentvid pri Stični. In Šentvid pri Stični we go left and we continue driving towards the hamlet Pristavlja vas. We can park at the end of the village, where the road ends or in Šentvid pri Stični, this extends the path for approximately 15 minutes.
Path description:
From the end of the road, we continue on a marked cart track which goes into the forest, and there it is at first only gently ascending. A well-settled and at the crossings well-marked path, higher starts ascending a little steeper and from the cart track gradually changes into a wide footpath. The path which mostly runs through the forest, after approximately half an hour of walking, it brings us to the mountain hut Lavričeva koča, from which a beautiful view opens up towards the valley and surrounding hills.
From the mountain hut, we can continue also on the nearby peak Gradišče, on which there is the church of St. Miklavž, and we reach it after few 10 strides of additional walking.
From the top, we continue on a marked path in the direction of Pristava. The path ahead on the right side bypasses a lonely house, and then passes into the forest, where it starts descending steeper. After few minutes of descent, the path flattens, and then it brings us to a forest road which we only cross.
We continue the ascent in the direction of Pristava and we go on a cart track which is gently ascending through the forest. A well-marked path higher brings us to an asphalt road, where we also step out of the forest. The road ahead leads through Dobrava pri Stični, and at the crossroad in the middle of the village we continue right in the direction of Pristava. The road which is all the time slightly to moderately ascending, higher brings us to the village Pristava nad Stično. Here we will on one of the houses notice a caption "Pristava 695m žig B.K.P.", and here we continue slightly right (straight on a cart track - Sveti Lambert) and we follow the road all the way to its end at Partisan cottage. From the end of the road, we continue left and in few 10 strides we ascend to the highest point.
