Grmada on Planinska Gora (Planina Mountain)

Grmada (873 m) is located on the eastern edge of the Hrušica Plateau, with the trail beginning in the village of Planina, beside the Church of St Margaret. The trail up the mountain winds through meadows and forests and along an idyllic, scenic stone path dotted with numerous pilgrimage markers, as Planinska Gora was a popular pilgrimage route in the past. This is an easy hike, although the trail can occasionally be difficult to follow, so we recommend using a map or navigation device.
