Slovenske Konjice - Konjice Castle

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Maribor highway, we head to the Slovenske Konjice exit and follow the road to the mentioned town. In the center of Slovenske Konjice, we leave the main road (we continue left) and head towards the church, near which we park on a large marked parking lot.

Route description:
From the parking lot at the church, we continue on the sidewalk (towards the west), which after a few tens of meters brings us to a school, where we notice the mountain signs for Stolpnik. We continue left on the sidewalk, which slightly ascends and after a short ascent brings us to the mountain signposts right next to the cemetery. Here we continue straight in the direction of Stari grad on the path which leads us along the left side of the cemetery. At the top of the cemetery, we leave the road and continue the ascent on a marked footpath which steeply ascends. After a few minutes of ascent, the steepness eases and the path brings us out of the forest onto a macadam road, where we continue right, slightly downwards. After a short descent, we come to a smaller junction, where we continue on the right on the road closed to traffic. We then follow this road to the castle, which we have already been seeing for some time on the right side.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Skala (1 h), Stolpnik (1 h 45 min)

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