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 after few steps, we go left on a wide cart track over which there is a gate (here we leave officially marked path and we continue on the old marked path). A wide cart track or a worse road after few minutes turns sharply left, and in the middle of the turn, we continue in the direction of straight on the second cart track, by which we notice also a blaze. The cart track on which we continue only a little further brings us to some sort of a turning point, from which we continue slightly left on a relatively steep forest cart track. Further, we are ascending on at first a wide cart track which higher flattens, and then it several times splits. At all crossings we continue in approximately the same direction, and we also get help from occasional faded blazes. Next follows a short descent, and then we get to a clearing and a small saddle. On the other side of the clearing the path returns into the forest and it brings us to the cross Na Kočni, after which we continue left in the forest. The path for a short time continues through a dense forest and then crosses another clearing. When we return into the forest, we need to pay attention to the right turn-off of the "marked" path on Špilk.
We continue on the mentioned marked path on which we in three minutes ascend to the summit of Špilk, in the middle of which stands a smaller bivouac.
