Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Brezovica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Dobrova near Ljubljana. From the roundabout in Dobrova we continue towards Polhov Gradec, and we follow the road to the settlement Dvor, where only a little before the end of the village, we continue left in the direction of Dolenja vas. Further, we cross Gradaščica, and after few 100 meters we get to houses in Dolenja vas. Here we continue on "main" road (left road towards Babna Gora branches off), which higher steeply ascends, crosses a lane of a forest and then it flattens and over a larger meadow brings us to the homestead Kosmulj. Here we will get to a smaller crossroad by which we notice mountain signposts for Ključ. We park on an appropriate place by the crossroad, if here isn't any space, we ask locals for appropriate parking spot.
Path description:
From the starting point, we go on a macadam road in the direction of Ključ. The road behind the houses ends and we continue on a marked cart track which goes into the forest. On cart track we are ascending only a short time because then blazes point us slightly right on a marked footpath which is at first ascending parallel with the cart track. We continue the ascent on a marked footpath, on which in 10 minutes of additional walking, we get to the top.
From Bezenica we continue on a marked path which starts moderately descending slightly towards the right. After a short descent, we join an old cart track, on which we continue with at first gentle and then moderate ascent. Ahead because of numerous crossings we carefully follow the blazes, and the path after few minutes of additional walking brings us on a smaller ridge, on the top of which we get to the grave of killed young partisan.
The path ahead for a short time slightly descends, and then it brings us to a crossing, where the path splits into two parts. We can continue on the left gentle, or on the right a little steeper path. After 10 minutes both paths join and they bring us to a marked crossing below the summit of Ključ.
Here we continue straight (left mountain hut Dom na Ključu) and after 10 minutes of additional walking, which all the time runs through the forest we get to the top of Ključ.
