Path description:
From the parking lot, we go back in the direction towards the roundabout below the ski jumping hill along the parallel street through Stari trg.
After 100 m we come to the intersection and turn right. After the next 100 m we see on the left side of the road a smaller parking lot of the hair salon and stairs and the beginning of the path to Velenje Castle.
A wide path leads in zig-zags to the top to the castle. On the path we have no view, because the path is surrounded by trees.
