A) From western Ljubljana bypass road we go to the exit Ljubljana Brdo, and then we continue driving in the direction of ZOO. Further, we drive on the road Pot za Brdom, and then at the traffic light crossroad we continue left in the direction of zoo. When after approximately 1 km of additional driving, we get to a crossroad with the road Večna pot, and we continue left in the direction of Šiška and Center (right zoo). Further, we drive on the road Večna pot, where opposite of football field macadam road branches off to the right, which runs in Mostec. Here we continue straight, and after good 100 meters right on other macadam road, by which we park.

Path description:
From the starting point, by which there is situated drinking water from a tap, we continue straight, where at first we cross asphalt path intended for pedestrians and cyclists and we continue on a macadam road. By the road is further also some options for parking, and we soon continue right on a wide sand path, which at first lightly descends to a smaller stream. After the small stream, the path starts ascending a little and then quickly brings us to recreational park Mostec, where there are guesthouse, playground, boules court... From guesthouse we continue on the road, and there we quickly get to a crossroad, from where we continue straight in the direction of Cankarjev vrh. After a short ascent, we get to ski jumping hills, which we bypass on the left side. Next follows an ascent through the forest, and the road brings us to the end of ski jumping hills, from where there is also a nice view towards all three ski jumping hills. Higher, the road leads past brick tower, and behind it we get to a crossroad, from where we continue in the direction of Cankarjev vrh. A little further, we join the road which leads from Tivoli towards Šišenski hrib and Cankarjev vrh, and we follow it to the right. A little further, the road descends to a crossroad, by the monument of the war for Slovenia. We continue straight, and then the road is for some time descending. Lower from the right joins also the footpath from Mostec, and we also in all next crossroads go in the direction of Cankarjev vrh. In the last part, the road a little steeper ascends and it quickly brings us to the inn on Rožnik, from there to small church on Cankarjev vrh it separates us only a short ascent.
