Pirman - Turjak Castle (shorther 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 left in the direction of the castle Turjak (straight Turjak, right Kurešček, Zapotok and Četež) and through a meadow we ascend to the edge of the forest. Here an arrow on a power line pole points us in the forest on a gradually steeper footpath. Further, we are ascending relatively steeply through the forest, and a marked path past some archery targets(caution because of archers) in approximately 20 minutes of walking, brings us to the castle Turjak, from which a nice view opens up on the nearby surrounding.
