Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Novo mesto we go to the exit hotel Grosuplje (not the exit Grosuplje and Šmarje - Sap) and we follow the road ahead in the direction of village Polica. In the mentioned village, we continue driving in the direction of village Blečji Vrh. Above the village Blečji Vrh we get to a smaller crossroad, where we leave the asphalt road and we continue straight on a marked macadam road by which we then park.
To Polica we can also come from Višnja gora direction.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the macadam road by which we've parked. Already after few steps of walking by the road we notice a sign, that we are entering the bear area. After few minutes of gentle walking we get to a crossing, where we continue with an ascent slightly left, still on the macadam road (straight path Pot dveh slapov). The road then starts ascending steeper and it quickly brings us to the next poorly marked crossroad, where we continue on the left marked road.
Ahead the road descends a little, crosses a torrent stream and after it steeply ascends. At the next crossroad by which we notice another sign, that we are in a bear area, we continue right. The road which is occasionally relatively steeply ascending after approximately 40 minutes of walking comes out of the forest, where on the left side we notice a bigger cross. We continue straight on an increasingly bad road which changes into a cart track and in few additional strides of easy walking it brings us to the summit of Kucelj which we recognize by a smaller geodetic tower.
