Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Podnart (Ljubelj), and then we continue driving on the road towards Ljubelj and Tržič. When "fast road" ends (blue sign), we will on the right side notice gas station, in front of which we turn right downwards towards Tržič. Further, we drive through Tržič, and we follow the narrower road towards the gorge Dovžanova soteska and then through the village Dolina and Jelendol to Medvodje, where we park on a marked parking lot by the nearby crossroad.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the right road in the direction of Storžič, Stegovnik and waterfall Stegovniški slap (left - Košutnik, Košutnikov turn and mountain pasture Dolga njiva on a marked path), and after few 10 strides, we continue straight (right - waterfall Stegovniški slap). The path ahead leads us on a macadam road which continues along Tržiška Bistrica, and when we get to a crossroad at the confluence of the rivers Tržiška Bistrica and Fevča, we continue on the left road which continues by Tržiška Bistrica. Higher, the road turns sharply left and only few 10 strides ahead brings us to a crossroad, where we continue straight (right - we can get to the mountain pasture Brsnina). Next follows a diagonal ascent on occasionally panoramic slopes, and then we reach the saddle between Medvodnica on the left and Črna peč on the right, where there is a crossing of multiple paths.
We continue slightly left on a wide cart track (left - the road which a little ahead ends, straight downwards - a cart track which leads towards the road Medvodje - Košutnik, and to the right continues the road which ends below Črna peč.
Next follows a moderate ascent on a cart track, from which a little further a nice view opens up towards Košuta, and a little higher we reach the ridge of Medvodnica, where the cart track narrows a little. Next follows few minutes of walking to the end of the cart track, and from there in few steps we ascend on an indistinct peak of Medvodnica.
