Path description:
We head towards the village Vikrče but only to the traffic sign, which is placed by the sidewalk. At the sign the Westrova pot branches off to the right to Grmada. The signpost for the Westrova pot warns that it is a demanding path, but it is just a steeper path that does not cause problems to the average mountaineer. More caution is needed in wet conditions or snow.
The path ascends steeply on the western slopes of Grmada for approximately 20 minutes, after that the steepness decreases. After that a climbing path from the village Vikrče joins from the right side. There follows an ascent on a wide vegetated ridge to the top of Grmada, where a beautiful view opens up.
