Radeče - Svinjski rt

Access to starting point:
From the road Zidani Most - Sevnica, after the bridge over the river Sava, we turn right into Radeče (from the direction of Sevnica, we turn left before the bridge) and then park at one of the parking lots in the town center.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to square, where Plečnik's NOB monument stands, then proceed along the path toward Kum, Nebeška gora, and Svinjski rt. The path continues along street Starograjska ulica, which we leave at the parish church of St. Peter, turning left and ascending the stairs for a while. A little further, we reach a narrower asphalt road, which we follow past the last houses, then continue on a cart track that ascends diagonally. The path soon enters the forest, but before reaching it, a view of part of Radeče opens up when looking back. In the forest, the path turns left and ascends diagonally to a ridge, where we notice the ruins of an old castle sharply to the right, but we continue straight and soon leave the forest. We proceed along a well-maintained path through bushes, then reach a road, which we follow briefly to the right before taking a footpath that crosses the road twice more higher up, then stay on the road, following the blazes or signs for Kum at crossroads. Higher up, the road becomes macadam and ascends diagonally to a saddle between Vranski hrib on the left and Svinjski rt on the right.
Here we go behind the chapel to the right in the direction of Svinjski rt (slightly to the left Nebeška gora and Kum) and after a short traverse, we arrive at the cottage of the radio club Radeče, where there is an inscription box; from the cottage, we ascend in a minute to a scenic peak, from which a beautiful view opens up towards the valley and the surrounding hills.
Radeče - old castle 0:10, old castle - Svinjski rt 0:35.
