From the center of the settlement Zbelovo on the asphalt road by the fire station and bakery Boč we go over a bridge on river Dravinja to the right bank. Practically immediately after crossing the river Dravinja signpost - caption "strma pot" (steep path) points higher on an easy to follow otherwise unmarked footpath. The footpath we can easily follow mainly in the arms of the forest, here and there the path also opens a little. We soon reach the castle, there is an inscription book and also a table and benches to rest.

After a good hundred meters, we reach an asphalt road which leads higher to the homestead below the very top of Zbelovska gora. We continue left downwards by the homestead and two or three holiday cottages or vineyards.
