Kočevje - Fridrihštajn Castle (Grajska way)

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kočevje, and then we look for street Podgorska ulica (which from the main road branches off to the right - direction of driving towards Delnice). At the end of the mentioned street we will notice signposts and by them a nicely settled parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to a well-marked crossing, and then we continue left in the direction of the path Grajska pot (right path Kalanova pot). At first, we bypass a house, and then the path turns to the left and it ascends diagonally through a grassy slope. The path then goes into the forest, where in a moderate ascent continues on a relatively wide cart track. Higher, the cart track crosses a forest road and gradually changes into a little steeper footpath. A well-marked path higher few more times crosses the road and then it brings us to a crossing, where we continue slightly left in the direction towards Livoldski vrh and castle Fridrihštajn (right Mestni vrh and mountain hut Koča pri Jelenovem studencu). Still well-marked path higher crosses a road (left Livoldski vrh) and only a little further splits into two parts. We continue left (slightly right very demanding path) on the path which after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the summit.
