Access to starting point:
From Ljubljana east bypass road we go to the exit Ljubljana - Bizovik, and then we continue driving in the direction towards Sostro. For some time we still drive on the main road, and then we continue slightly right in the direction towards Podlipoglav. We continue driving on the road Cesta II. grupe odredov, from which soon a road branches off to the right towards Sveti Urh, and we continue on the main road to Petrol gas station, behind which at the crossroad we continue right in the direction towards Orle. Towards Orle we drive to the hamlet Žabja vas, where signs for log cabin Brunarica Zadvor point us to the right. The described path starts at the mentioned log cabin, where parking is allowed only for guests.
Path description:
From the log cabin Brunarica Zadvor we continue on a wide forest path in the direction towards Orle. The path is at first a little steeper, and then it is moderately ascending on the hill Zadvorski hrib. A well-beaten path several times splits, and we are choosing the one, which is better beaten, and next to it for some time runs also a trim trail. Higher the trim trail ends or turns back, and we still continue on a forest path which continues on the ridge of hill Zadvorski hrib. Higher, we leave hill Zadvorski hrib, and from the right two paths from Sveti Urh join. From the both crossings we continue in the direction towards Orle, and in some parts there are also signs for inn Gostilnica Orle. A little further, we get to the ridge of hill Šinkovčev hrib, where the path continues on a wide cart track, and at the cross, we leave it and we continue right, on the path which for some time descends a little. When the path again starts ascending, it quickly brings us to an asphalt road which we follow to the left and then we quickly get to the inn Gostilnica Orle, from which a beautiful view opens up, which in good visibility reaches all the way to Triglav.
