Polhov Gradec (Blagaj Castle) - Mali vrh

Access to the starting point:
a) From Dobrova, Horjul or Gorenje village, drive to Polhov Gradec, and from the main crossroads continue in the direction of Črný Vrho. After a short climb, you will arrive at Polhograjska manor, where the road leads you through the walls, then turn left and park at a suitable place along the road, where there are also mountain direction signs (there is also a small parking area in front of the walls of Polhograjska manor).
b) From Černý Vrch, descend to Polhov Gradec, turn right and park in a suitable place by the road in front of the walls.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the narrower asphalt road towards the ski jump (to the right of the Beekeeping Lodge and St. Lovrenc), which leads us along the edge of the beautifully landscaped castle park. After a few minutes, we arrive at a marked crossroads where the path to Sv. Lovrenec (Polhograjska Gora) branches off to the right - the path passes the castle water reservoir, and we continue straight ahead, still on the asphalt road. A few 10 steps further, at a small crossroads, continue to the right, then walk past a few more houses, after which the asphalt slowly ends. The dirt road continues to climb over the viewing slopes, from which a beautiful view of Polhov Gradec and the surrounding hills opens up, and a little further on we arrive at a small crossroads, where we continue along the lower road (to the right Sv. Lovrenc).
After the crossroads, the road enters the forest and then crosses the Ilov graben stream. After the stream, the road climbs steeply and then leads out of the forest, where it leads past a sign (cross), next to which there is a bench and a table. There is a short descent and then you reach the first houses in Praproče, where you rejoin the asphalt. After a few houses, at the stop sign, continue to the right, then a few steps further, at the crossing of the torrent, turn left along the asphalt road (straight marked path to St. Lovrenec). Follow the asphalt road up past the chapel, which is located on a hill with a view, and after the chapel, gradually start climbing up to the central part of Praproči, where another path to St. Lovrenec branches off to the right.
Continue straight ahead, then pass another small chapel to reach a marked crossroads, where you turn onto the initially still asphalted road towards Malý vrh. The road first descends gently, then leads to a grassy ridge, from which a beautiful view opens up towards Koreno and Črnemu vrh. Continue along the ascending road, which leads us past a hamlet of a few houses to the edge of the forest.
After a few minutes of further walking, the road splits into two parts. The right one leads to Setnik, and we continue on the slightly left one, which after a short climb leads us to a water supply building, after which we join the unmarked path from St Martin's Church. Continue right and follow the often quite muddy cart track, which you follow to the top of the grassy slope of Little Peak. Once out of the forest, the summit is only a short walk away along an increasingly scenic path.
