Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Dobrova near Ljubljana, then we continue driving in the direction of Polhov Gradec. Just a little after the village of Belica we will arrive in the village of Dvor, which is the starting point for our tour. The large parking lot at the beginning of the village (viewed from the direction of Ljubljana) is intended for guests of the nearby snack bar (by arrangement with the employees in the snack bar, it is possible to leave the car also on the mentioned parking lot). A few spots for parking are also at the end of the settlement.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the main road towards Polhov Gradec, then a few tens of meters before the old Gothic church of St. Peter, by the road we notice a trough with water and beside it the mountain signposts for Grmada, which direct us right onto a narrower but still asphalted road. After a short ascent, the road turns somewhat to the left, and we at that very spot look for a footpath that veers sharply right from the road (the turn-off is not marked). When we step into the forest, the footpath turns left and continues ascending transversely. After a few minutes we come to a cart track, where we step onto the marked path leading from the previously mentioned church (we can also reach here past the church).
We continue the ascent on the cart track, which higher changes into a steep footpath. The path ahead ascends along a relatively steep ridge, which higher we bypass slightly to the left. When we leave the ridge the path flattens, and it then leads us across a panoramic meadow, along the edge of which we notice a hunting observation post. The path ahead brings us to a gentle cart track, to which a little further on from the left the path from Polhov Gradec joins (path over Ravnek). We continue on the cart track, which quickly brings us to the hunting hut, near which there is a marked junction.
We continue on the right side of the hut on the path, which immediately behind the hut begins to ascend very steeply. Higher, the path slightly flattens and brings us to the top of Mala Grmada, from which a beautiful view opens up.

Discussion about the trip Dvor - Mala Grmada

Walked 20.7.2021. Really wonderful path, a good part of the path also through the forest in the shade. I myself met a gentleman, a mountain guide, on the path who at the junction by the hunting hut suggested that I take the circular variant first right to Polhograjska grmada and then back via Mala grmada. That was a super decision, the path phenomenal, and since we're so close to Polhograjska grmada, it's really worth climbing up there for the views that Mala grmada doesn't offer as much.
Edit: at the fountain during my visit there was no sign directing to the start of the path, but no problem finding it 
Regarding parking: during the week they let me park at the guesthouse without problem, but the lady said that on weekends it's much more of a problem. That parking at the end of the village is like... a bit of gravel opposite some house, maybe for a couple of cars.
