Path description:
Go west to the end of the parking lot, where you will see the start of a steep path into the forest on your left.
The steepness quickly eases at the start and you walk along a well-worn forest path along the slope of Gradišče.
The path is well marked. The trail splits at some parts and joins up again higher up.
When you come out of the forest, you see the Church of St James.
Before the chapel and the asphalt road, follow the path to the left back into the forest.
Follow the well-worn path along the ridge to the top of the Little Castle.
