Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Ljubljana, and then we continue driving on the road Celovška cesta towards Medvode. When we get to Medvode, at first traffic light we turn left across the railway track in the direction of Golo Brdo, Žleb and Preska. Behind the railway track we continue left (right Preska) in the direction of Medno, Golo Brdo and Žleb, after that a little further to the right (straight Medno). Only about 500 m ahead we get to the next crossroad, where at the beginning of the settlement Seničica we continue right (straight Golo Brdo) in the direction of the settlement Žlebe. When residential houses of the settlement Seničica ends we get to the forest, where at the crossroad we continue left towards the settlement Žlebe (also slightly right are signs for Žlebe - it is a circular road). Further, we drive on a slightly ascending road which we follow to a smaller saddle. On the saddle, we continue left on a macadam road which quickly brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue on the bottom left road. From the crossroad, by which there are also hiking signposts we drive only approximately 100 m, or to the left turn, by which there is a marked parking lot.
B) From Škofja Loka, Kranj or Vodice we drive to Medvode, from there we continue driving towards Ljubljana. At the last traffic light in Medvode, which is located about 100 m ahead from store Hofer, we turn right across the railway track in the direction of Golo Brdo, Žleb and Preska. Behind the railway track we continue left (right Preska) in the direction of Medno, Golo Brdo and Žleb, after that a little further to the right (straight Medno). Only about 500 m ahead we get to the next crossroad, where at the beginning of the settlement Seničica we continue right (straight Golo Brdo) in the direction of the settlement Žlebe. When residential houses of the settlement Seničica ends we get to the forest, where at the crossroad we continue left towards the settlement Žlebe (also slightly right are signs for Žlebe - it is a circular road). Further, we drive on a slightly ascending road which we follow to a smaller saddle. On the saddle, we continue left on a macadam road which quickly brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue on the bottom left road.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a cart track in the direction of Katarina, Jeterbenk and St Marjeta (left Petelinc), which continues on the left side of the stream. After few 10 strides we leave mentioned cart track and we continue right into the forest, where at first we descend to a stream which we also cross. On the other side for s short time we are still gently ascending, and then the path turns right and it ascends steeper. A little higher we get to a marked crossing, where we continue left (right church of St Marjete 3 minutes) and on next one nearby again left. A little further, the path split on two parts, and we continue on the bottom left (right Jeterbenk over Turnice), which then for some time isn't marked, on the most of the crossings is marked.
From unmarked crossing at first we lightly descend to a smaller ditch, and then we are gently ascending to a cart track which we follow to the left, we walk there to the spot, where signs "Petelinc" point us to the right on a steeper path, on which in few minutes we get to a meadow (by the edge of the meadow is a bench), over which we ascend steeply. The path ahead returns into the forest and past the ruins brings us to a marked crossing, where we join the marked path from Slavkov dom on Golo Brdo.
Here we continue right and start ascending on the ridge of Jeterbenk, from which occasionally a view opens up a little towards the south. Higher, we reach some kind of the secondary peak, from which we descend on a smaller saddle, where we join the path from Katarina. Here we continue straight and in few steps we reach the peak, in the middle of which stands a big cross.
