Topole - Mengeška koča on Gobavica

Access to starting point:
A) We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Vodice, and then we continue driving towards Kamnik, and then in Vodice we turn slightly right in the direction of the settlement Bukovica. Further, we drive on the road towards Mengeš. After Koseze settlements and hamlets end, and then the road leads through a lane of a forest and few meadows. When the meadows narrow, slightly to the left, a macadam road branches off towards the sports field in Topole, and to the right through a swampy meadow, a footpath branches off, which leads towards the mountain hut Mengeška koča na Gobavici and Rašica. We park on an appropriate place by the crossroad.
B) We drive to Mengeš, after that from the main crossroad in the center of Mengeš, we continue driving towards Kranj. A little further from the main road we turn slightly left on the road in the direction towards Vodice. A little after the crossroad we over the bridge cross ditch Pšate, and after the fields, the road passes into the forest, and by the road there are narrower meadows. When we notice, that the macadam road branches off sharply to the right, which leads towards the sports field in Topole, and on the left starts a footpath which leads on Gobavica and Rašica, we are at the starting point of the described path. We park on an appropriate place by the crossroad.

Path description:
On the south side of the road, we notice at first a worse footpath which leads through a shorter swampy meadow, after which it passes into the forest, and after few 10 meters joins the cart track. On the cart track, we are then at first gently, and then moderately ascending, and at the crossings we follow quite rare blazes. When the cart track flattens, we quickly get to a marked crossing, where we continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Mengeška koča (straight we reach the lower path Mengeška koča - Rašica, and right leads the ridge path on Rašica and the path to Koseze and Šinkov Turn).
From the crossing follows a short ascent on a forested Marin hrib (408 meters), and then a gradual descent to a crossing, where the already mentioned lower path joins.
We again continue in the direction of the mountain hut Mengeška koča, and the path then leads us on a cart track which lightly ascends through the meadow to the nearby hayrack. At the hayrack, the path turns left, ascends through a lane of a forest and then by the upper edge of a panoramic meadow it brings us to the mountain hut Mengeška koča on Gobavica.
Description and pictures refer to a condition in the year 2017 (November).
