Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Logatec and we follow the road to the mentioned settlement. When after approximately 2 km from the spot, when we left the highway, we get to an old parallel road, we continue right towards Ljubljana, and after few 100 meters left in the direction towards Žiri. Further, we drive on an occasionally more winding road which we follow to Rovte, and here at the gas station, we turn right. The road further for a short time steeply ascends, and then splits into two parts. Here we continue on the left road which we follow few more 10 meters to a larger macadam parking lot, which is situated below the church of St. Mihael in Rovte.
Access is possible also from the direction Žiri.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road which starts gently descending, and at the end of Rovte it brings us to the marked crossroad, where we continue on the bottom left road in the direction of Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev (right Smrečje and Lavrovec). The road is still descending and past the hamlet Osredek brings us to river Sovra. For some time we are descending by the mentioned river, and then we get to a smaller hamlet, where signs for Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev point us to the right on an ascending road. We follow the road only few steps, and then blazes point us to the left on a footpath which ascends steeply through the forest. Higher, we return on the road, and we walk there to the beginning of the next hamlet (Hlevni Vrh). Here the blazes point us left on a cart track, on which we quickly get to the nearby quarry and a local macadam road. We follow the road to the left, and it quickly brings us to a marked crossing.
We continue straight in the direction of the gentle path (right steep path) and a short time we still continue the ascent on a gently sloping road. And a little further blazes point us right on a cart track, on which we start moderately ascending. The path which is further gently to moderately ascending, we then follow to a marked crossroad, where we join the steep path.
We continue right on a gently sloping road which past the "thick linden tree" (debela lipa), which is located a minute from the path, brings us to boules court, where we join the asphalt road from Smrečje. We continue on an ascending road, and past Rupnik Line it quickly brings us to the mountain hut on Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev.
From the mountain hut, we continue on a marked hiking path which starts ascending steeply through a thinner forest. The path then flattens and it brings us on an asphalt road, on which in few minutes of additional walking, we get to a panoramic peak.
