Route description:
From the starting point continue along the right or eastern side of the pond, while along its western side a cart road leads to Pišece Castle. We start the path on a gravel road along the stream, where a few more parking spots are available. Further on the road becomes somewhat worse, then splits.
Slightly to the left a path branches off towards Pišece Castle, we continue slightly to the right on the poorer gravel (continuation past the castle is possible, but the path is a few minutes longer). We also continue ascending along the stream. Soon an unmarked cart track from Pišece Castle joins from the left, and to the right another unmarked cart track branches off, which further on merges with the marked path.
Continue uphill along the stream, where the poor road finally turns into a cart track. Slightly higher the Path of Sovereignty joins from the left – a path marked with the symbol of the Slovenian tolar, which also passes by Pišece Castle.
Continue straight north. The cart track gradually turns into a footpath, which levels out briefly, then ascends more steeply. After the ramsons patch it turns right, moves away from the valley bottom and leads us along its headwall. The path then quickly turns back left and climbs to a forest road, which we reach near the Pišece Hunting Society bivouac. Here turn right (left to Pečice and Podsreda Castle) and in a few steps reach the hunting bivouac.
Behind the bivouac go slightly left from the forest road onto the path marked for Veliki Špiček. The path ahead begins to ascend transversely along the northwestern slopes of the nearby Veliki vrh, and higher up when we reach the ridge go left towards Veliki Špiček, reaching its summit after two minutes of further walking.

Starting point - Pišece Hunting Society bivouac 0:55, Pišece Hunting Society bivouac - Veliki Špiček 0:15.
