Path description:
Between the abandoned gas station and the railway station, we will at side railway track notice the forest road which goes past the house into the forest. Already after few meters of ascent we notice the first blazes and a sign, which informs us, that we are entering the bear area.
The road which is moderately ascending after 5 minutes of ascent brings us to the first crossroad, where we continue on the right marked road. The road ahead is at first a little steeper ascending, and then it flattens and it brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue sharply left in the direction of Ortnek Castle (straight Sveti Gregor). And from a worse and steeper road higher a view opens up towards the village Sveti Gregor and surrounding hills. The road which is in the last part more and more turning towards the left in few minutes of additional walking brings us on an ample peak. Here we will on the left side notice ruins of old Ortnek Castle, and on the right a large meadow at the end of which there is PTV station with a stamp and inscription box.
