Slovenske Konjice - Konjice Castle

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Slovenske Konjice and we follow the road to the mentioned town. In the center of Slovenske Konjice, we leave the main road (we continue left) and we go towards the church, near of which we park on a large marked parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the church, we continue on a sidewalk (towards the west), which after few ten meters brings us to a school, where we notice signposts for Stolpnik. We continue left on a sidewalk, which is slightly ascending and after a short ascent, it brings us to mountain signposts right next to the cemetery. Here we continue straight in the direction of the castle Stari grad on the path which leads us on the left side of the cemetery. On the top of the cemetery, we leave the road and we continue the ascent on a marked footpath which steeply ascends. After few minutes of the ascent, the steepness decreases and the path brings us out of the forest on a macadam road, where we continue right, slightly downwards. After a short descent, we come to a smaller crossroad, where we continue on the right, for the traffic closed road. We follow this road to the castle, which we already see for some time on the right side.
