Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lipce and we drive right towards Jesenice. At the first traffic light crossroad (Javornik) we drive right in the direction of Lj. Next follows the second crossroad with traffic lights, where we turn left and drive below the railway underpass, and in the next smaller crossroad we go right towards Koroška Bela. We drive in the village, which is located in the direction of northeast, where on an appropriate place (e.g. apartment complex near the fire station) we park. We can also continue driving.
Path description:
(On foot or with a car) we look for a crossroad in the center of the village, where there stands a memorial. From here we go on the main road through the village, which goes barely noticeably uphill towards the north. After approx 100 meters on the right we cross the bridge over the stream Bela, where nearby (street Stranska pot) we can notice first blazes. We continue on foot on an asphalt road between two houses (appearance of a yard), which here turns right.
After a short time, before it flattens, on the trees we notice the blazes and remain of old sign "valvasor", we turn from the road on a cart track on our left. Cart track, on which runs a smaller stream, quickly brings us to a crossing, where we continue straight following the blazes. The path leads us past a well on the left, uphill towards the east and is from here further only occasionally ascending. Until after approx 10 min, when it turns left and loses the appearance of cart track, it becomes steeper. When the steepness decreases we step again on a cart track and go right on otherwise unmarked, but more used and beaten shortcut, which after few meters turns left, uphill, over a clearing. The path goes towards the east and higher again brings us on a cart track which leads in the forest. There, or on numerous shortcuts on the right side of a marked path, we continue for quite some time. When the path starts getting the appearance of forest road, on a plain we cross a stream Sevnik. We stick to the widest path. We soon come to a crossing before the forest clearing, where on a tree on the left we notice a caption "valvasor", and on the right older sign "Ajdna archaeological site". Here we turn right in the forest, on a poorly visible and marked, partly overgrown path, which out of the forest leads over a clearing. Here it is vanishing a little, over a slope, we walk more or less on the same altitude. The path crosses a cart track and descends a little. Next follows a clearing, where among fallen trees, with a little attention we can find out, that the path continues in the same direction, on the same altitude. It is descending and ascending only for few meters. We cross a smaller stream and after few minutes we turn left, a little downwards, below the northern wall of Ajdna. The path after this ascends to a crossing at the bench, which is situated right below the wall. Here we go right, where we quickly run into settled stairs, on which we ascend on a steep slope towards the summit. When we step on the upper ridge, we go left. After few 10 meters we run into - smaller settlement similar archaeological site, through and behind which, the path further runs towards the summit of Ajdna. We notice steel cables from climbing path and we turn right towards the viewpoint with an inscription book.
