Rovte - Sveti Urh (Zavratec) (through Trtovška grapa)

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.
From the mentioned crossroad, we continue straight (left Medvedje Brdo - peak, church and Dom Medved), and then past the fire station in few minutes we get to the next crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Zavratec and Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev. The path ahead leads us on a macadam road which soon splits into two parts.
The marked path towards Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev continues on the right road, and we continue on the left road in the direction of village Zavratec and Potok. Next follows few minutes of a little steeper descent, and then we reach the village Potok, where the road again becomes asphalted. In the village, the road entirely flattens, and it leads us past few houses and mainly through meadows. On the other side of the village, the road passes into the forest, where it is for a short time descending gently by the nearby small stream and then before the lonely house it starts ascending. When few minutes higher, the road flattens, we get to the sports field, and few 10 strides ahead also in the village Zavratec. A short descent follows and the road brings us to the church of St. Urh in Zavratec.
