Path description:
From the bus stop at first we walk to the bridge over the river Ljubljanica, and then at the crossroad we continue straight on an ascending road which soon brings us to a crossroad with the road Karlovška cesta. In the traffic light crossroad we cross the road and on the other side, we continue right to the next bigger crossroad where we notice at first asphalt footpath which leads on castle Ljubljanski grad. A wide path, which soon becomes a macadam higher brings us to a crossing, where we continue sharply left (path straight joins the road on castle). The path which ahead runs through a dense forest quickly brings us to the next crossing, where we continue right. The path higher brings us out of the forest on a meadow by which we notice a wooden cross. The path ahead slightly descends and turns slightly right, where in few minutes brings us to a chapel. Behind the chapel, the path ascends on stairs and then it brings us to the parking lot on castle Ljubljanski grad.
From the parking lot, we walk to the castle mansion from where on numerous stairs we ascend on a lookout tower (ascent on a lookout tower isn't free).
