I suggest for next time another loop. Parking at the pond below the castle, return 50 meters on the road towards Pišeč, left on the asphalt road past Maks Pleteršnik's house, markers and mountain signpost then direct you left steeply uphill (says Pečice 2h 30min, but the path leads towards Špiček). Follow the markers to Špiček, from Špiček descent to the little saddle and right down to the hunting hut, straight ahead on the marked path over the hillocks (a bit up, a bit down). You reach the intersection at Kerin's cross. If you feel like it, extend the loop to Veliki vrh (Tolar monument), if not, continue about 500m downhill on the road, past Kerin's cross and a sign on the tree (before the earthquake observatory) directs you sharply left into the forest (you don't have to walk on the road to St. Jedert and to Pišečki castle). Cross the meadow and at the end the sign for Path of Sovereignty directs you back into the forest. From the forest you come right next to Pišečki castle. Then just descend to the lower pond and you've completed a nice loop.
