After 100 m you will reach a crossroads and turn right. After another 100 m you will see a small hairdresser's parking lot and steps on the left side of the road and the start of the trail to Velenje Castle.
A wide path leads in serpentines to the top of the castle. There is no view on the path because it is surrounded by trees.
