Polhov Gradec - Polhograjska Grmada (via Ravnek and Mala Grmada)

Access to starting point:
From Dobrova, Horjul, Gorenja vas or Črni Vrh we drive to Polhov Gradec, more precisely to a crossroad next to the main bus station in Polhov Gradec. We park on an appropriate place near the station, best on a parking lot by the bridge over the river Božna.

Path description:
From the starting point short time we continue by the main road in the direction of Ljubljana, after that behind the inn Gostilna pri Pratkarju we notice mountain signposts for Grmada, Belica, Katarina and Tošč, which point us to the left, on the path which continues by the brick fence. After a short ascent, we step on an asphalt road and we follow it to the right, but we walk there only few steps, because then blazes lead left, on at first still quite wide path. The path, from which a nice view opens up on Polhov Gradec and St. Lovrenc, then passes into the forest and is for some time mostly ascending diagonally. Higher, we stride across a riverbed of ditch Frjetov graben, and then in few steps we ascend to a meadow, where the path leads by a wooden fence. The path through a meadow quickly brings us to a macadam road which we follow to the right, and there in a minute or two of additional walking, we get to the mountain hut Planinski dom na Ravneku.
For a short time, we still continue on the road, after that marked path few times crosses it. Higher, we return on the road, and it brings us to a hamlet Ravnek, where behind the last house we get to a smaller crossroad, where we continue slightly right (slightly left St. Uršula).
Only few 10 strides ahead the road again splits, and this time we continue slightly left (slightly right unmarked path on Kucelj).
The path which meanwhile from the road passed into a pleasant footpath higher brings us to the next crossing, where from the right side joins the path from the village Dvor. We continue left on the wide path, which after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the hunting cottage, where the path splits into two parts.
From the hunting cottage, we continue in the direction of Grmada over Mala Grmada (right "direct path" is approximately equally long) on an increasingly steep path which starts ascending on and by occasionally a very panoramic ridge. Higher, the path brings us on the secondary peak of Grmada, where from the left joins the other path from Polhov Gradec (over Setnica and also the path past St. Uršula).
The path ahead at first descends, and then passes on a diverse ridge, on which continues with some shorter ascents and descents. After that, the path leaves the ridge and it turns a little towards the right, where it again starts ascending steeper. This path, which joins also paths from Belica and Topol (also direct path from Polhov Gradec past Ravnek) we follow all the way to a panoramic summit.
