B) From Ljubljana ring road or Gorenjska highway we go to the exit Ljubljana (Podutik), and then we continue driving towards the mentioned area of Ljubljana and further towards Dobrova. After Preval, where a road towards Toško Čelo branches off to the right, the road starts descending, and we are driving there to the spot, where we reach the main road Dobrova - Polhov Gradec. The mentioned road, we follow right in the direction of Polhov Gradec, and we follow the main road to the settlement Dvor, where the described path begins.

D) From highway Koper - Ljubljana, we go to the exit Vrhnika, and then we continue driving in the direction of Horjul. From Horjul we continue towards Ljubljana, but only to the settlement Zaklanec, because there we notice signs for Polhov Gradec, which point us to the left. When after few kilometers, we reach the road Dobrova - Polhov Gradec we follow it to the right, and we are driving there to the settlement Dvor, where starts the described footpath.
Path description:
From the spot, where we've parked, we at first walk to the church, where we notice signs for Grmada. The path at first leads us by the wall, and then it ascends by the edge of a meadow. On the top of a meadow we step on a wider cart track, where from the right also the path joins, which starts at the nearby well. We continue straight, on a cart track which goes into the forest and from which soon a marked footpath branches off to the right, which leads on Grmada.
We continue on a cart track, and it soon splits into two parts. We go again straight (right cart track soon joins the marked path), this time on a cart track which continues near the small stream and it leads us also past a small well. Nearby water catchment we bypass on the right side, on a beaten but unmarked footpath which higher returns on a cart track, and we walk there to a smaller saddle, where easy to follow and beaten footpath branches off to the right.
We continue on a forest path, which turns a little to the right and soon crosses vegetated torrent ditch. For a short time, we are ascending a little above the torrent, and then the path turns right and it ascends diagonally on a steep and partly also panoramic slope. After the steep slope path returns into a dense forest, after that on an indistinct ridge turns left and gradually passes on the right side of the ridge. Next follows light diagonal ascent, that runs on a cart track, and after few minutes of additional walking brings us out of the forest on the upper part of a larger clearing.
Here, from where a view opens up a little, from the right also described "marked" path joins from Dvor and another path from Polhov Gradec.
We continue left on the path which returns into the forest, after that forest gets thinner and we already step on the summit of Kucelj, from where a nice view opens up on part of Kamnik Savinja Alps.
If we want some more view towards the south and west, from the peak we continue on a small footpath which starts lightly descending towards the south, and there in a minute or two, we get to a nice vantage point, where also a smaller bench is situated.
