Gabrje - Polhograjska Grmada

Access to the starting point:
a) Leave the Primorska motorway at the Brezovica exit and continue driving in the direction of Dobrova and Polhov Gradec. Continue along the Gradaščice valley and follow the main road towards Polhov Gradec to a small crossroads where the road to the right branches off towards the villages of Osredek, Topole (Katarina) and Belo (the branch from the main road is located just before the beginning of the village Hrastenice). Park in a suitable place at the crossroads.
b) From the Ljubljana bypass or the Gorenjska motorway, take the Ljubljana (Podutik) exit, then continue towards the Ljubljana area and on to Dobrova. After Preval, where the road to Toško Čelo turns off to the right, the road starts to descend and we follow it to reach the main road Dobrova - Polhov Gradec. Follow the road to the right in the direction of Polhovo Gradec, and follow the main road to a small crossroads where the road branches off to the right towards the villages of Osredek, Topole (Katarina) and Belo (the turn-off from the main road is located just before the beginning of the village Hrastenice). Park in a suitable place at the crossroads.
c) Drive to Polhov Gradec, then continue driving towards Ljubljana. Just after the village Hrastenice, you will reach a crossroads where the road to Osredek, Topole (Katarina) and Belo branches off to the left (the branch from the main road is located just before the beginning of the village Hrastenice). Park in a suitable place at the crossroads mentioned above.

Path description:
From the crossroads by the transformer, continue a few steps along the main road towards Polhovo Gradec, then turn right in the route Grmada onto the macadam road, which continues past the houses. The dirt road, which leads past a few houses, quickly leads to a small pass where you continue straight down (sharp right cart track, which leads along the eastern slopes of the peak Praprotno (527 m) and forks several times further on). The road then leads you past another house, and after it you continue right on the ascending cart track. The ascent continues crosswise through the forest, and we pass a small spring to reach a poorly marked crossroads, where we continue right. We continue to climb moderately through the forest, and along the way we see a few sparse markings, one of which has a sign for the altitude. Higher up, you will reach a ridge along which you will then climb towards the village of Belo.
When we reach the village, beautiful views open up to us, and the path continues to lead us along a mostly macadam road, which we follow at a few crossroads in the direction of the open-door farm Pr Lenart, which we quickly reach.
From the farm we continue in the direction of Grmada, following the grassy cart track, which quickly leads to a macadam road, which we follow as we climb gently, enjoying beautiful views of Grmada and the surrounding hills. At the hunting observatory, the poorer road turns right and ends at a nearby house. Go around the house on the left and continue through the dense forest, first walking on the left side of the slope, and then a little further on to the right side. The path continues through a few strips of pine forest, from where we get some views, and then the path returns to the forest and climbs cross-country on a slightly slippery path. A little further on, you reach the Krvavi Vil preval, where there is a crossroads of a few paths.
From the crossroads continue slightly left (slightly right Katarina and Goljek, right Kobilja dolina), where after a few minutes you get on the marked path Katarina - Grmada.
Follow the above-mentioned path to the left, and you will soon join the path from the tourist farm Robež. The trail continues along and along the Lipja ridge, which initially leads us past the NOB memorial plaque, a little further on past a beautiful lookout point, and then continues through the forest with a few shorter ascents and descents. This route continues until it reaches a marked crossroads about 15 minutes below the Grmada summit.
Continue straight ahead on the marked trail in the direction of Grmada (Setnica on the left, Gonte Tourist Farm on the right). The trail then crosses the slopes slightly to the left in a moderate ascent and then starts to climb steeply up the summit and snow-slip-prone slope of Grmada. The steepness then eases and the path leads to the scenic summit ridge Grmada, from which it is only a few steps to the top.
