Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lipce (Jesenice east) and we drive right towards Jesenice. At the first traffic light crossroad (Slovenski Javornik) we turn right in the direction of Lj. Next follows the second crossroad with traffic lights, where we turn left and drive through the railway underpass, and in the next smaller crossroad we go right towards Koroška Bela. We drive past last bus stop (store on the left) in the village. We look for crossroad in the center of the village, where there stands a church memorial. From here we go on the main road through the village, which leads uphill towards the north. After approx 100 meters, on the right we notice bridge, but we drive straight for additional 50 meters, where we run into the left turn-off of the road. We go there, and in uphill we cross one more (Koroška ulica) street and we continue uphill (church lower on the left) all the way to the spot outside of the settlement, where we run into abandoned tennis court (RC Kres).
Path description:
At first chestnut tree by the road (approx 50 meters from the settlement), on the right we notice forest cart track which goes in the direction of back towards the east. We go there and we walk short time to left turn off, at first path similar to the cart track which ascends steeply on a slope. Soon the path narrows into a footpath which is in rare hairpin turns ascending on the eastern slope of the hill. We soon run into improvised bench, and we continue on the path towards the northeast. Higher, the path flattens a little, and eventually brings us to a crossing, on which we turn left uphill, by slope (right path descends a little). After few steps, we get to a steep grassy slope, which is situated on the left. Here we leave the path and we go slightly left, on this quite steep grassy slope where we at first ascend for few 10 meters and then we cross the hill towards the left, on a forested part which we also cross all the way to the south edge, from where we can look into a valley. Here we turn towards the summit on the right and on a steep ridge in few minutes we ascend to the destination.
