Track types
Rest stops
Vila PrešerenSafety information
- The footpath leading up to the castle is well maintained and safe, but one should be careful when treading on the cobbled path from the parking area leading to the entrance to the castle, as it tends to be slippery when wet.
- Leaning over the wall at the castle’s courtyard is strictly forbidden!
