Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Gorenja vas and Žiri. From Žiri we continue driving on a little more winding road towards Rovte and Logatec, which we follow to the road sign between 12 and 11.5 km, or to the spot, where a macadam road towards Medvedje Brdo and Lanevše branches off to the right. We park on an appropriate place by the road.
From Žiri (from the crossroad, where a road towards Idrija branches off to the right) and to the starting point, there is approximately 9.5 km.
B) From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Logatec and then we continue driving to Logatec. From the roundabout, where we reach old road Vrhnika - Postojna we continue right (direction Vrhnika) and we continue driving on the old road towards Vrhnika, and we are driving there only few 100 meters and then we turn left on the road in the direction of Rovte and Žiri. Further, we drive on a gradually more and more winding road, and we are driving there to the road sign between 11.5 and 12 km. Here we will get to a crossroad, where a macadam road towards Medvedje Brdo and Lanevše branches off to the left. We park on an appropriate place by the road.
C) We drive to Idrija, and then we continue driving towards Logatec. Still before the end of Idrija we turn left on a steep road which starts ascending towards the village Gore. Higher, we reach the plateau, and the road flattens. At the crossroads, we then follow the signs towards the neighbouring settlement Dole and later settlement Zavratec. After the end of the mentioned settlement we start descending towards the valley of Sovra, where we also reach the main road Žiri - Logatec. We follow the mentioned road to the right, and we are driving there to the road sign between 12 and 11.5 km, or to the spot, where a macadam road towards Medvedje Brdo and Lanevše branches off to the right. We park on an appropriate place by the road.
From the spot, where we reached road Žiri - Logatec, to the starting point, there is approximately 1.5 km.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the macadam road in the direction of Medvedje Brdo and we start ascending by the stream Trtovška grapa. Further, we are for quite some time gently ascending, and then the road past few learning boards brings us to a meadow, after which the road becomes a little steeper. On the part, where the road becomes steeper we also rise from Trtovška grapa. Next follows few minutes of a diagonal ascent towards the left and we join the asphalt road which we follow to the right, and we walk there to the some sort of triangular crossroad, near of which there is a chapel.
Here, where we join the marked path via Kamnikov Grič we continue left and after a short ascent, we get to the next crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of open door farm Šinkovc (slightly right cottage Dom Medved). A short ascent follows and we already step on the summit of Medvedje Brdo, where on the left we notice military buildings of former JNA, and on the right side panorama board on Medvedje Brdo.
