Rakitna - Županov vrh (via Reber)

Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Brezovica, and then we continue driving in the direction Podpeč (to Podpeč we can also come from Črna vas or Ig). In Podpeč we continue in the direction of Borovnica, Krim and Rakitna and continue driving for a short time by the edge of Ljubljana marshes, and then signs for Rakitna point us to the left on a steep ascending road. The road then leads us through Preserje, where it also starts descending. After a short descent, we continue left in the direction of Krim and Rakitna, and then mostly ascending road we follow to Rakitna (after the turn-off for Krim the road starts descending), where we park on a parking lot at the church.
B) First, we drive to Cerknica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Begunje, when we get to Begunje we follow the signs for Rakitna. When we get to Rakitna we park on a parking lot by a parish church on Rakitna.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the church on Rakitna we continue on the main asphalt road in the direction of Ljubljana. When we walk on the road, the path leads us past the primary school and outdoor school sports field, and then we get to a smaller crossroad, where we leave the main road and we continue right.
We leave the main road just before the house, on which there is an ad for inn Gostilna pri Mari. Narrower asphalt road, on which we continue, immediately splits into two parts. We continue on the road which on the left side bypasses a bigger built chapel and which in a gentle ascent leads past few houses. The road soon turns more to the left and at the "last" house it ends or changes into two cart tracks.
We continue on a slightly right cart track which starts ascending through a gentle meadow. After few minutes of a light ascent, the path past the hunting observatory brings us into the forest, through which it gradually starts ascending diagonally towards the left. Higher, the path brings us out of the forest, on panoramic slopes below the peak Reber.
Here, where from the left joins also described path "Mesnice - Županov vrh (path over Reber)", we continue sharply right in the forest, or at first into a lane of bushes. The path, by which we further notice few blue-yellow blazes, mostly continues on the ridge, where we soon reach indistinct and with a forest covered peak Reber (923 meters).
We continue on forest ridge path, which is with the exception of the initial light descent, mostly lightly ascending. When the path entirely flattens, it brings us out of the forest, from where a nice view opens up towards the nearby Krim and Kamnik Savinja Alps. When the path returns into the forest, from the right joins another path from Rakitna, and we continue on a cart track which a little ahead turns left on a grassy slope of Županov vrh. Next follows some of gentle walking, and then the path moderately ascends to the nearby peak, from which a nice view opens up, which reaches on all sides, in good weather up to Snežnik.
