Start above the old town
Begin at Buža Gate and follow the mapped approach to the mountain path
Use designated road crossings on the lower section
The ascent becomes a rougher outdoor walk; leave the hottest part of the day free rather than carrying on to meet a fixed time
Plan the way down
The track ends at Fort Imperial
Allow separately for the museum, viewpoint stops and descent
Check cable-car service before departure if planning to use it; keep a workable walking return and enough daylight
