Access to the starting point:
From Horjul or Dobrova, drive to Polhov Gradec, then continue to Črnji Vrho. Just at the point where you see the sign for the end of Polhov Gradec, turn right in the direction of Macka graben and the Church of St Ursula. Just after the crossroads, park in a suitable place on the roadside.
Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the asphalted road, which soon leads to a crossroads, where you continue right in the route Setnica (straight Mačkov graben). The ascent continues on a slightly steeper road, which after a few minutes' walk leads to the place where you leave the road. Markings direct us slightly left on a footpath that starts to climb steeply through the forest. After a few minutes of further walking, we leave the forest and the path leads us to the open door farm at Mehaček.
Before the agritourism, turn right onto the marked path, which leads past a few more houses, and then, when the houses end, we arrive at a crossroads where the path to Grmada continues to the right, and we continue slightly to the left in the direction of the Church of St Ursula. The path continues along the wide, winding and scenic cart track, which takes a few minutes to reach the church, which is situated in the middle of a pleasant meadow.
After the church, follow the winding path, which continues along a small valley and passes through a pleasant meadow. On the other side of the spacious meadow, the path gradually ascends a slope and starts to climb steeply. After about 15 minutes of scenic ascent, you reach the Mala Grmada ridge, where you rejoin the marked trail.
Continue left along the trail, which takes you to the top of Mala Grmada just after the crossroads.
Starting point - St Ursula 0:50, St Ursula - Mala Grmada 0:20.
