Pirman - Turjak Castle (shorther path)

Access to the starting point:
a) First, drive to Škofljica (to get here from Ljubljana or Grosuplje, then continue driving in the direction of Velike Lašče, Ribnica and Kočevje. When you reach Pijava Gorica, leave the main road and turn right towards Želimlje. When you reach the hamlet of Podreber, continue straight on (right Želimlje) and continue along the Želimeljščice valley. A few kilometres further on, a road branches off to the left and ascends to Turjak, and we continue along the valley and follow the road to Pirmane, at which there is a crossroads where the road to Četež, Javor and Kureščko branches off to the right, and the road to Prazniki continues in a straight direction. Park in a suitable place near the crossroads, there are no suitable parking places at Pirmane, where there are mountain direction signs.
b) The starting point can also be reached from Turjak by a narrower road that leads past the castle. Near the castle, the road starts to descend steeply and leads us lower to a crossroads, where we continue to the left. From the point where you reach the valley, follow the road for only about 200 to 300 m and the road will lead you to Pirmane, where you park near the crossroads.

Path description:
From the route signs at Pirmane, continue left in the direction of Turjak Castle (straight ahead Turjak, right Kurešček, Zapotok and Četež) and climb across the meadow to the edge of the forest. Here an arrow on a power pole points into the forest on a gradually steeper path. Further on, we climb relatively steeply through the forest, and in about 20 minutes' walk, the marked path leads us past a few archery targets (caution is not superfluous because of the archers) to the Turjak Castle, which offers a fine view of the surrounding area.
