Dvor - Polhograjska Grmada (via Mala Grmada)

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Dobrova at Ljubljana, and then we continue driving in the direction of Polhov Gradec. Only a little after the village Belica we will come in the village Dvor, which is the starting point for our tour. Large parking lot at the beginning of the village (looking from the direction Ljubljana) is intended for guests of the nearby snack bar (by arrangement with employees in snack bar, it is possible to leave car also on the mentioned parking lot). Few spots for parking are also at the end of the settlement.

Path description:
From the parking lot (at snack bar) we continue on the main road towards Polhov Gradec, and then we will few 10 meters before an old gothic church of St. Peter, by the road notice a trough with water and next to it mountain signposts for Grmada, which point us to the right on a narrower, but still asphalt road. After a short ascent, the road turns a little towards the left, and right on this spot we look for a footpath which from the road goes sharp to the right (turn-off isn't marked). When we step into the forest, the footpath turns to the left and is further ascending diagonally. After few minutes, we come on a cart track, where we step on a marked path which leads from the previously mentioned church (to here we can also come past the church).
We continue the ascent on a cart track which higher changes into a steep footpath. The path ahead is ascending on a relatively steep ridge, which we higher avoid a little to the left. When we leave the ridge path flattens, and further it leads through a panoramic meadow, by the edge of which we notice a hunting observatory. The path ahead brings us on a gently sloping cart track which only a little further from the left joins the path from Polhov Gradec (path over Ravnek). We continue on a cart track, and it quickly brings us to the hunting cottage, near of which is marked crossing.
We continue on the right side of the cottage, on the path which immediately after the cottage starts very steeply ascending. Higher, the path slightly flattens and it brings us to the top of Mala Grmada, where from the left joins also the other path from Polhov Gradec (path over Setnica).
From Mala Grmada we at first descend a little and then we continue the ascent on panoramic and occasionally also quite steep ridge path. Higher, the path turns a little to the right and crosses a little steeper upper slopes of the mountain. After the diagonal ascent from the right joins the path from Belica, and we continue left and after few steps of additional walking, we step to the next crossing, where from the right joins the path from the village Topol. We continue left and after few additional strides, we step on 898 meters high peak.
