Kočevje - Mestni vrh (Grajska way)

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kočevje, and then we look for Podgorska ulica (which from the main road branches off to the right - direction of driving towards Delnice). At the end of the mentioned street we will notice signposts and by them a nicely arranged parking lot.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we walk to a well-marked junction, and then we continue left in the direction of Grajska pot (right Kalanova pot). At first, we bypass a house, and then the path turns to the left and ascends diagonally through a grassy slope. The path then goes into the forest, where it continues in a moderate ascent on a relatively wide cart track. Higher, the cart track crosses a forest road and gradually changes into a somewhat steeper footpath. The well-marked path higher crosses a road a few more times and then brings us to a junction, where the path branches off to the left towards Livoldski vrh and castle Fridrihštajn.
We continue slightly right in the direction of the mountain hut and Mestni vrh on the path which continues on a well-marked cart track which has quite a few junctions. A little further, we notice signs for Mestni vrh, which point us to the right (straight Ledena jama and mountain hut Koča pri Jelenovem studencu) on a somewhat narrower cart track, which starts ascending diagonally. Higher, the cart track changes into a steep footpath which we then follow all the way to the peak.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, summit register
