Marof pri Pišecah - Veliki Špiček

Access to starting point:
On the main road from Brežice towards Bizeljsko in the forest at the crossroad we turn to the left towards Globoko. In Globoko we go right past the primary school to Pišece, where we turn left towards the castle. After a good half a kilometer from Pišece we come to the crossroad at the lake, where there is also a signpost for castle Pišece. We park at or immediately after the lake.

Path description:
We follow the cart track towards the castle. After a good 200 meters we turn right uphill, if we want towards the castle or we continue straight on the road which shortens the path for good 5 minutes. At the castle we can pour water and we continue past the building below the castle and left through a meadow to the path which brings us back to the cart track. We are ascending through a beech forest. We stick to the cart track upwards and slightly right, which is becoming a little worse. After a good 40 minutes from the castle we get to a marked path and a hunting lodge. Above the hut there is a crossing. We can go on a wider ("main") marked path, which in quarter of an hour brings us to the summit or left past the monument of a hunter (also marked), which is almost 10' longer but for me a nicer variant, appropriate for a descent. On the top there is an airfield for hang-gliders, table with a bench and a cross with an inscription book and a stamp.
