Pirman - Turjak Castle (longer path)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Škofljica (to here from Ljubljana or Grosuplje), and then we continue driving in the direction of Velike Lašče, Ribnica and Kočevje. When we get to Pijava Gorica, we leave the main road and we continue right in the direction of the settlement Želimlje. When we get to a hamlet Podreber we continue straight (right Želimlje) and further we drive through the valley of Želimeljščica. Few kilometers ahead a road branches off to the left, which ascends on Turjak, and we still continue through the valley and we follow the road to Pirman, by which there is a crossroad, where the road branches off to the right towards Četež, Javorje and Kurešček, and in the direction of straight the road continues towards Prazniki. We park on an appropriate place near the crossroad, by Pirman where there are hiking signposts there aren't any appropriate parking spots.
B) To the starting point, we can get to also from the direction of Turjak, namely on a narrower road which leads past the castle. Near the castle the road starts descending steeply and lower it brings us to a crossroad, where we continue left. From the spot, when we get into a valley we drive on the road only about 200 to 300 meters and the road brings us to Pirman, where we park near the crossroad.

Path description:
From the signposts at Pirman we continue straight in the direction of a circular path on Turjak and the settlement Prazniki (left - castle Turjak - shorter path, right - Kurešček, Zapotok and Četež) and we continue on an ascending asphalt road. Few minutes we walk on the asphalt road, and then on the left side we notice a cart track and next to it a metal pole (November 2012 - on the pole there weren't any signs). Here we leave the road and we continue on the mentioned cart track which soon starts ascending diagonally towards the left. Higher the cart track is becoming worse, and a little further it brings us to a riverbed of the nearby stream Trščica. For a very short time we continue on the stream upwards, then blazes point us sharply right on a marked footpath which at first crosses slopes towards the right, and then turns to the left and in few minutes ascends to an asphalt road near the cooperative home.
When we step on the road, we continue left in the direction of the castle Turjak and we start descending through the village. From the path soon a nice view opens up towards the castle, and a little lower, the path branches off to the right towards the waterfalls Bajdinški slapovi. Here we continue straight, and then at the next crossroad left towards the castle, which we reach after a shorter gentle ascent.
