Vitanje - Golež castle (lower path)

Access to starting point:
From Vojnik, Mislinja or Slovenske Konjice, we drive to Vitanje, where we park on the parking lot at Grajski trg.

Route description:
From the parking lot, in a few steps we walk to the main road and continue right. Immediately after the first house we go from the road right onto a paved narrow path, on which we quickly arrive at the bridge, and after the bridge we go right in the direction towards Fužine. We continue for a short time on the asphalt road, and when the road turns left we go straight in the direction towards Stenica and Goležev grad. The path ahead leads us over a small bridge, and the house on the other side of the stream we bypass on the right side. A shorter ascent follows along the fence, and when we get to the next houses we follow the signs for Goležev grad. The settlement ends a little further ahead, and the path gradually brings us into the forest, where it ascends a little steeper. During the ascent a nice view opens up on Vitanje first, and from the left the upper path joins quite unnoticeably.
From the junction we ascend for a short time longer, and when the path flattens we quickly get to the vantage point at Goležev grad.
The ascent further to the ruins is dangerous, partly because of the steepness, and especially because of the great danger of falling rocks.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in July 2022.
