Hrib-Loški Potok - Koča na Kamnem griču

Access to starting point:
From Sodražica, Nova vas on Bloke or Loška dolina we drive to the settlement Hrib-Loški Potok, where on a marked parking lot in the middle of the settlement, opposite of culture tourist center we also park.
To the starting point, we can get to also from the direction of Stari Kot and Draga.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road which ascends above the main road, after that a little higher at the crossroad we continue left and we walk to a crossroad, by which there is a chapel. At the chapel, we go right, after that at few smaller crossroads we continue straight. Higher, the road flattens and leads us past few more houses, and after the sign, which marks the end of the settlement, we continue slightly left, on the road in the direction of Kamni grič and Travna Gora. The road on which we continue a little further gradually starts descending, and then it brings us to the spot, where the path splits into two parts. We can continue on a marked road (blazes are rare), or left on a cart track which cuts quite long (approximately 3 km) U turn. It is nicer to continue on approximately half shorter cart track, where the orientation is a little harder, but if at the crossings we follow northern or northeastern directions, then we will reach the road near the marked crossing.
If we decided for walking on a cart track, then when we reach the road we continue right, and from the road then after few 10 meters slightly left, otherwise sharply right, on a marked cart track in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Kamnem griču.
From the spot, where we leave the road we continue in the direction of Koča na Kamnem griču, and we notice a sign on the tree by the road few 10 strides west from the beginning of the cart track. Cart track at first gently ascends into a lane of a forest and then continues without large changes in altitude, partly through the forest, and partly through mowed meadows. Further, the cart track starts moderately ascending, and higher it brings us to a meadow, where the footpath vanishes. Here we continue straight upwards, and when we again step in the forest, also the footpath appears. Before we step into the forest it is worth to turn back, because a nice view opens up, which reaches all the way to Snežnik. In the forest beside the blazes we notice also caption KG (Kamni grič), which confirms, that we are on the right path. When we again step out of the forest we get to the next meadow, where again poorly visible footpath turns left. Next follows a moderate ascent, and then the path returns into the forest, where the path leads us through a shorter lane, where the footpath is a little more overgrown, but easy to follow. After that part follows a short descent, and then we reach a wider cart track and marked crossing.
From the crossing, we continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Kamnem griču to which we have 5 more minutes of a moderate ascent on a mostly grassy slope.
From the mountain hut, we can in few steps ascend also on the nearby peak, from which a nice view opens up, which reaches all the way to the Alps.
