Route description:
From the starting point we continue along the right or eastern side of the Ribnik, while along its western side a vehicular road leads to the castle. We start the trail on a gravel road that runs along the stream and alongside which there are still a few parking spaces available. Further ahead the road becomes somewhat worse, and we turn slightly left from it onto a footpath towards Grad Pišece. A somewhat steeper ascent follows on a cart track, and when the path levels out after a few minutes, we arrive at the mighty sequoias in the castle park. Here we turn right and walk along the access road to the castle itself.

The description and photos refer to the condition in March 2026.
