Path description:
In Vitanje, find the Municipality building (Fig. 1), which is located just after the bridge over the Hudinja. There, a sign (2) directs you along the street towards Krajnik's Castle. After 150 m you reach the chapel (3), where you turn left, and again left (4) just after the farm. The path starts to climb (5) and soon you reach a crossroads (6), where you turn right. If you want a good view of Vitanje, turn left at the crossroads and after 10 m you will get a good view of the place (7).
After a further climb, you will reach a new crossroads (8), where you turn left. The path soon reaches a fenced area (10), but a few metres earlier we turn right uphill between branches (11). The path climbs a little steeper (12) and turns left, where we reach Krajnik Castle (14) by the ruins (13).
