Ljubljana (Zalog) - Debenji vrh

Access to starting point:
From the east Ljubljana bypass highway, we go to the exit Ljubljana - east and we continue driving on the road Zaloška cesta in the direction of Zalog. Further, we drive on the main road, and then only about 300 meters after we crossed the river Ljubljanica, we park on a settled macadam parking lot by the railway tracks.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go through the underpass under the railway track above which there are signs »Debni vrh, Stari grad and Pečar«. Immediately after the underpass we continue left and after a short diagonal ascent, the path brings us to a crossing at a smaller stream. Both paths lead towards Debni vrh and a little higher again cross each other.
If we continue on the right path, which is slightly less steep, we at first ascend steeper by the mentioned small stream, after that the path turns to the right. The path becomes less steep and it quickly brings us to the left turn where to the right upwards path »Trda varianta« on Debni vrh branches off.
We continue left on a less steep path, parallel with the stream, which is situated left below us. The path then turns to the left and after a diagonal ascent we cross already mentioned slightly steeper path. After that, the path is becoming a little steeper and slowly turns to the right. A pretty steep path is then still ascending through the forest and higher joins with the before mentioned path. Next follows a shorter ascent and the path brings us on a side forested ridge where there is a crossing. At the crossing there is also a bench.
From the left joins the path from Podgrad, to the left continues also the path Ostrovrharjeva pohodna pot towards the old castle Osterberg. At the crossing, we go right and we continue the ascent on and by the ridge of Kašeljski grič. After that, the path for some time runs on the eastern slopes and soon brings us on the ridge where from the right side joins the mentioned »Trda varianta«.
Further, the path runs on a forested ridge and few times slightly ascends and descends. Occasionally through the forest also a little bit of a view opens up mainly in the direction towards Ljubljana. We still continue on the ridge and from the left joins also the path from old castle Osterberg. Next follows a little steeper ascent where we will by the path notice a cross or a chapel in a hollow tree trunk. The path then brings us to the summit, in the middle of which stands a wooden lookout tower.
