Koroška Bela - Malnež

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 into the village, which runs towards the northeast, where we park on an appropriate place (e.g.. apartment complex near the fire station). 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 northeast. After approx 100 meters on the right we cross the bridge over the stream Bela, where nearby (street Stranska pot) we can notice blazes, which mark path towards the mountain hut Valvazorjev dom. We continue on the asphalt road between two houses (appearance of a yard), which here turns right, a little uphill.
After few 10 meters we step from the road left, on a cart track, on which we start ascending in the direction of east, towards the forest. Soon, when the cart track (path) turns left, at a small stream the path from the right joins, and we continue left on a cart track which after this turns right uphill. We soon run into turn-off of the path on the right, where we continue left on a cart track, and after this also into a turn-off to the left, where we continue right, which basically means, that we all the time stick to the main, the most beaten cart track. Later it is turning to the left, quite steeply uphill, towards the north. When the steepness starts decreasing, we run into a triple crossing, where we continue left, and soon we also cross a stream. From here further we look for beaten footpath by the left side of the cart track which we follow to a wooden cottage, which stands on the edge of a smaller meadow. Here we go perpendicularly to the left, on forest ridge of Malnež, on which nice path quickly brings us to the western edge, where it turns slightly to the left and by (less needed, thinner and loose) steel cable brings us to a viewpoint with a bench and a large cross.
