Kočevje - Fridrihštajn Castle (Grajska way)

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kočevje, and then we look for Podgorska ulica (which branches off to the right from the main road - direction of travel towards Delnice). At the end of the mentioned street we will notice mountaineering signposts and beside them a nicely arranged parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to a well-marked junction, and then we continue left in the direction of Grajska pot (right Kalanova pot). At first, we bypass a house, and then the path turns to the left and ascends diagonally across a grassy slope. The path then goes into the forest, where it continues in a moderate ascent on a relatively wide cart track. Higher up, the cart track crosses a forest road and gradually turns into a somewhat steeper footpath. The well-marked path higher up crosses the road a few more times and then brings us to a junction, where we continue slightly left in the direction towards Livoldski vrh and castle Fridrihštajn (right Mestni vrh and mountain hut Koča pri Jelenovem studencu). The still well-marked path higher up crosses a road (left Livoldski vrh) and a little further on splits into two parts. We continue left (slightly right very demanding path) on the path, which after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the summit.
