Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Novo mesto we go to the exit Grosuplje and Šmarje - Sap, and then we follow the road in the direction of village Paradišče. A little after the village Paradišče we come to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of village Zgornja Slivnica. The road which starts ascending steeper we follow to the parking lot at the turn-off of the road towards Magdalenska gora (crossroad is located few 100 meters before the village Zgornja Slivnica).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the "main" road which in few minutes of walking, it brings us to southwestern part of the village Zgornja Slivnica. And only a little further we come to a crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of village Lipoglav (left - Repče, right - Zgornja Slivnica).
Ahead the road slightly descends, and then again ascends and only a little higher it brings us to the next crossroad. We continue slightly left (sharply right - Zgornja Slivnica) on the road which past a cross brings us to the village Mali Lipoglav. In the center of the mentioned village, at the inn we come to the next crossroad, where we continue left towards the church of St. Nikolaj (right - Ljubljana and Veliki Lipoglav).
Only a little after the church, we will on the tree notice a blaze, which points us to the right on a cart track which starts descending on grassy slopes. A little worse marked path after few minutes of descent again starts ascending and it quickly brings us to the periphery of the village Veliki Lipoglav. Further, we continue on the road which in few steps brings us to the chapel where there is a crossroad. We continue left and we follow the road to the sign with the caption "krožna pohodna pot pod Pugledom" (circular hiking path below Pugled). Here we continue left on an ascending road which after the last houses changes into a cart track. Further, we are ascending on a gentle and narrow cart track which with quite reliable blazes and past NOB monument brings us to the top of Pugled, where there is also another a little bigger monument.
On the way: Mali Lipoglav (530m), Veliki Lipoglav (540m)
