Trojane - Špilk

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor, we go to the exit Trojane, and then we continue driving on the parallel old road towards Trojane and Domžale. Our starting point is located right next to catering company Gostinsko podjetje Trojane. We park somewhere nearby, parking in front of the catering company is only for guests.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the catering company Gostinsko podjetje Trojane, we walk to the bus stop, and from there we carefully cross the main road. On the other side of the road, we ascend on steep stairs and above them we continue left. After few steps, we will reach a marked path, and we follow it right among houses to the nearby inscription box.
From the inscription box, the path which runs on a worse road starts descending towards the valley of the stream Bolska. When we get to the mentioned valley, we step on a wider macadam road which we follow to the left. Further, we are ascending for some time through the mentioned valley, and then the road avoids it a little to the left. Further, we are ascending diagonally towards the right, meanwhile we cross a larger number of smaller streams and wells, which in dry days mostly dry up. Higher, we get to a marked crossroad, where we continue on the left wider macadam road, by which there are also signs for pasture "pašnik Lipovc". From the crossroad ahead, the road is only a short time ascending, and then it gradually starts gently descending and it brings us to the next crossroad.
We continue straight in the direction of the path Rokovnjaška pot (right - pasture Lipovec) and we still continue on the macadam road. At the next crossroad, we continue slightly left in the direction of Špilk and Kekec and we continue on the road with some shorter ascents and descents for quite some time. After a good 2 hours of walking on a wider macadam road, signs for Špilk point us to the left on a little narrower and also a bit steeper road which we follow only few minutes. After few minutes, still before we step out of the forest, signposts for Špilk will point us left on a relatively steep footpath. The path ahead is still ascending through the forest, but through its periphery, so that we can with few steps to the right get to a panoramic meadow. Only a little higher, the path crosses a worse cart track and then it brings us on the main ridge of Špilk. Here the path turns to the left and after two minutes of additional walking brings us to the summit, in the middle of which stands a smaller bivouac.
