Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Medvode, then continue to the village Sora, where you turn left at the crossroads towards Katarina (Topole). Continue along the Ločnica valley, then a slightly more winding road leads to the village Topole. Here, turn right at the crossroads and continue driving towards the village of Belo. Follow the macadam road from Topole onwards to the Open Door Farm pr' Lenart.
b)From the motorway Ljubljana - Koper take the exit Brezovica, then continue in the direction of Dobrova near Ljubljana and later Polhovy Gradec. Just before the village Hrastenice, you will come to a crossroads where signs for Belo, Topole and Osredek direct you to the right on the ascending road. Follow the narrow and steep road to the beginning of the village Topole, where you will take a sharp left in the direction of Belo. Follow the dirt road from Topole onwards to the Open Door Farm at Lenart.
Path description:
From the farm pr' Lenart, or from the road a few 10 m before the farm, continue slightly to the right on a grassy ridge with views, at the top of which is a porer partly dirt road. Walk along the road to its end, then continue along the marked track, which first ascends gently in a cross slope to a small saddle. Here the path crosses over to the other side of the hill and climbs steeply for some time along a path that is sometimes quite narrow and covered with leaves. After about half an hour's walk, we join a much wider and more beaten track with Topole, and we follow it to the left. The path ahead takes us past the NOB monument, behind which we quickly reach a beautiful viewpoint, from which we get a nice view of the surrounding hills. The way forward continues for some time with a few short ascents and descents, and then leads us to a marked crossroads below the top slope of Grmada.
Continue straight on in the direction of Grmada (to the right, the Gonte Tourist Farm) and follow the increasingly steep and gradually more scenic route. Follow this path, which is joined by two other paths just below the summit, all the way to the summit lookout, which is reached after a few minutes of further walking.
We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Tošč
