Kočevje - Požgani hrib (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 in a moderate ascent it continues 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 up crosses the road a few more times and then brings us to a junction, where we continue slightly left in the direction towards Livoldski vrh and castle Fridrihštajn (right Mestni vrh and mountain hut Koča pri Jelenovem studencu). The still well-marked path higher crosses a road (left Livoldski vrh) and only a little further splits into two parts. We continue right in the direction of Fridrihštajnska stena and Požgani vrh (left Fridrihštajn normal path). The path after a few steps again splits into two parts, and we continue on the right path, which starts descending (left climbing path on Fridrihštajn). After a short descent the path flattens, and then continues on a cart track which moderately ascends. After a few minutes of additional walking, we will notice blazes, which direct us to the right on a steep footpath on which in a few minutes we ascend to a partly panoramic peak.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama
